Our Disclosure of Your Personal Data and Other Information
We will share your personal information with third parties only in the ways that are described in this privacy policy. We consider this information to be a vital part of our relationship with you. There are, however, certain circumstances in which we may share your Personal Data with certain third parties without further notice to you, as set forth below:
Business Transfers: As we develop our business, we might sell or buy businesses or assets. In the event of a corporate sale, merger, reorganization, dissolution or similar event, Personal Data may be part of the transferred assets and you will be notified via email and/or a prominent notice on our Web site of any change in ownership or uses of your personal information, as well as any choices you may have regarding your personal information.
Issuers and Registered Agents: Information provided by you in the registration and investment flow pages will be shared with the issuer of the offering in which you have expressed an interest, the registered dealer (and its independent dealing representatives) providing services for that issuer, as well as other companies providing services in connection with the offering, such as, escrow agents and banks, credential-checking services, and the issuer’s special purpose vehicle(s) for that offering. In each case, disclosure is subject to applicable privacy law and is limited to the extent the third party needs the information. Specifically, social insurance numbers are only shared with the broker-dealer (and its independent registered representatives) processing the transaction for the issuer, and third-party service providers to the broker-dealer that use social insurance numbers for the limited purpose of providing services in connection with the offering and that have agreed to maintain the confidentiality of your information.
Agents, Consultants and Related Third Parties: Crowd Capital, like many businesses, sometimes hires other companies to perform certain business-related functions. Examples of such functions include mailing information, maintaining databases, ID verification, processing applications, shipping and fulfillment, and processing payments and completing transactions. When we employ another company to perform a function of this nature, we only provide them with the information that they need to perform their specific function. These companies are authorized to use your personal information only as necessary to provide these services to us.
Legal Requirements: Crowd Capital may disclose your Personal Data if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to (i) comply with a legal obligation, (ii) protect and defend the rights or property of Crowd Capital, (iii) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of the Site or the public against fraud or other harm, or (iv) protect against legal liability.
