We may collect Personal Information about you from various sources described below. Where applicable, we indicate whether and why you must provide us with your Personal Information, as well as the consequences of failing to do so. If you do not provide Personal Information when requested, you may not be able to benefit from our Service if that information is necessary to provide you with it or if we are legally required to collect it.

Other Personal Information you provide to us when using the Services
We may receive information about individuals who do not interact with us directly. For example, our users, vendors, and partners may provide us with Personal Information about persons other than themselves when using the Service. We require that before we are provided with Personal Information relating to a third party, that the party providing the information has that individual’s permission or lawful authority to share it with us for processing as described in this Privacy Policy. The types of information we receive about third parties includes:
Information about our users’ companies, such as Personal Information of the beneficial owners and authorized signatories of issuers raising funds or investing through the Service
Information about our users’ spouses, when relevant to an individual’s status as an accredited investor
Information about joint account owners, such as information that is needed to open a joint account
Information about our users’ professional or financial advisors, such as the name and contact information about our users’ lawyer, accountant, broker, or registered investment advisor, for purposes of verifying a user’s status as an accredited investor
Information about the employees of our customers, vendors, and partners, such as the business contact information that those customers, vendors and partners provide to us in the context of our contractual relationships with them
Contact information of referrals submitted by our users
We may receive information about you from our vendors. For example, we use vendors to verify the identity and accredited investor status of users of our Service, and perform KYC and AML checks. These vendors may provide us with information such as:
Whether you or your company are on government lists of restricted persons (e.g., the OFAC list or other watch lists or sanctions lists)
Whether there are adverse media reports regarding you or your company
Whether you or your company qualifies as a “politically exposed person” (e.g., a government official or representative of an international organization) under applicable law
Whether the Personal Information that you provided to us matches information contained in databases they consult
Whether you are an accredited investor per applicable law
The information we collect from vendors may include sensitive information (e.g., criminal conviction for fraud) to the extent permitted under applicable law.
If you request that we verify your accredited investor status through your professional or financial advisor, then that party may provide us with information about you, such as whether you meet legal criteria to qualify as an accredited investor. We may also receive personal information from third-party broker-dealers or other financial professionals. Professional or financial advisors also provide us with information about themselves, such as their contact information and licensure information.
We and our vendors may collect information about you that is publicly available, including from publicly accessible government lists of restricted persons, public databases, media and internet searches (e.g., we may check an investor’s public LinkedIn profile to confirm his/her employment or source of income, we may do Google searches to corroborate public databases). We and or our third party verification providers may also collect information about you from non-public databases of third parties, to the extent permitted under applicable law.
We may partner with third party companies that share Personal Information with us. For example, if you establish a cryptocurrency wallet through one of our partners to make an investment through the Services, the provider of the wallet will share the address with us. We may also maintain pages for our company and our products on a variety of third-party platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, Google+, YouTube, Instagram, and other social networking services. When you interact with our pages on those third-party platforms, the third-party’s privacy policy will govern your interactions on the relevant platform. If the third-party platform provides us with information about our pages on those platforms or your interactions with them, we will treat that information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
We ask that you not send us, and you not disclose, any sensitive Personal Information (e.g., information revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religion or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, genetic or biometric information, sexual orientation, or criminal convictions or offenses) on the Service, or otherwise to us.
If you send or disclose any sensitive Personal Information to us when you use the Services, you must consent to our processing and use of such sensitive Personal Information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you do not consent to our processing and use of such sensitive Personal Information, you must not submit such sensitive Personal Information through our Website.

We do not share or otherwise disclose Personal Information we collect about you, except as described in this Privacy Policy or otherwise disclosed to you at the time of the collection. We may share your Personal Information in the instances described below:
We may share Personal Information with our headquarters and affiliates, other companies and brands owned or controlled by RAMI and other companies owned by or under common ownership as RAMI, which also includes our subsidiaries (i.e., any organization we own or control) or our ultimate holding company (i.e., any organization that owns or controls us) and any subsidiaries it owns. Personal Information will only be available to those who need such access for purposes consistent with this Privacy Policy or where required by applicable law.
We engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to us (e.g., verification providers, website hosting providers and other parties who assist us in operating our Website, conducting our business, managing our marketing campaigns and mailings, performing tax and accounting activities, performing analytics, or serving our customers). We may share your Personal Information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these functions and provide such services. We also require these third parties to maintain the privacy and security of the Personal Information they process on our behalf.
Certain investment opportunities that are available through the Services may be offered by a broker-dealer, which may be an affiliate of RAMI or an unaffiliated third-party. We may disclose Personal Information to broker-dealers in connection with their offerings. Where an offering is made by a broker-dealer and you seek to participate in that offering, we are required to disclose Personal Information to that broker-dealer to comply with applicable laws of their jurisdiction. The broker-dealer’s use of Personal Information is subject to its Privacy Policy. The offering documents will disclose the broker-dealer associated with an offering before you make an investment through the Services.
We may disclose Personal Information to the issuer of an investment in which you have signed a subscription agreement or smart contract or otherwise invested. For example, when you make an investment with an issuer, we may disclose information such as name and contact details, Social Security Number or tax identification number, and results of investor verification and confirmation that an investor is eligible to participate in the offering. If you seek to contact the issuer through the Service (e.g., to ask a question), we will disclose your contact information to the issuer. An issuer typically needs this information for its own legal compliance and to maintain its ledger of investors. However, we do not control how an issuer uses the Personal Information that we provide to it.
We may disclose Personal Information to our auditors, accountants, attorneys, CPAs and other professional advisors, insurance companies and brokers and financial institutions, as necessary in the course of the professional services that they render to us. If RAMI is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing due diligence, reorganization, bankruptcy, receivership, sale of RAMI assets or transition of service to another provider, Personal Information may be disclosed or transferred as part of such a transaction as permitted by applicable law or contract. We may also disclose Personal Information to third parties as required by law or subpoena or if we reasonably believe that such action is necessary to (a) comply with applicable law and the reasonable requests of law enforcement; (b) to protect the security or integrity of our Website or Services; and/or (c) to exercise or protect the rights, property, or personal safety of RAMI, our visitors, or others, including by protecting, investigating and deterring against fraudulent, harmful, unauthorized, unethical or illegal activity, and by enforcing the terms and conditions that govern our Website or Services.

Some of the business partners that collect information about users’ activities on our Website may be members of organizations or programs that provide choices to individuals regarding the use of their browsing behavior or mobile application usage for purposes of targeted advertising. Please note that we also may work with companies that offer their own opt-out mechanisms and may not participate in the opt-out mechanisms that we linked above.
If you choose to opt-out of targeted advertisements, you will still see advertisements online but they may not be relevant to you.
