Contingency Capital Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how we gather and use information for visitors of this website. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. If you do not agree with any of the terms and conditions contained herein, please do not access or otherwise use this website.

This Privacy Policy constitutes a legally binding agreement between Contingency Capital and you, the user of this website. By entering and using this website, you acknowledge your acceptance of, and agree to be bound by, the Privacy Policy stated herein, our Terms of Use and all additional terms incorporated by reference herein. If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy, please do not access or use this website.

The Information We Collect and How We Use It

We may collect various types of information from users of this website. For example, knowing how users use our website — tracking their movement through this website — helps us improve website design and usefulness. As a result, Contingency Capital’s server may collect general data pertaining to users, including the length of time spent on this website, the pages accessed while visiting the website and Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. Contingency Capital generally does not, however, collect any personally identifiable information such as names, home addresses or e-mail addresses from users of this website.

To the extent that you provide us with any personally identifiable information through or in connection with this website, we may use such information for Contingency Capital’s business purposes, but will not disclose any personally identifiable information about you to anyone, except as permitted or required by law or regulation and to service providers. In providing personally identifiable information to Contingency Capital, you consent to Contingency Capital’s use of such personally identifiable information for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information and data via the Internet is not completely secure. Although we make an effort to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of any information or data transmitted to or through our website; any transmission of information or data by you to or through this website is at your sole risk.

Capacity

You represent to Contingency Capital that you have the authority to visit this website according to the Terms of Use. This website is only intended for individuals who are at least 18 years of age. We do not knowingly encourage or solicit visitors to this website who are under the age of 18 or knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 18 without parental consent. If we learn we have collected or received personal information from an individual under the age of 18, we will delete that information.

Protection of Personal Information

The security of your personal information is important to us. We employ technical, administrative and physical security measures to protect any personal information you provide through this website from unauthorized access or use. You should be aware, however, that “perfect security” does not exist on the Internet, and there is always the risk that unauthorized persons may access or use your personal information. You use this website and send us such information at your own risk.

Cookies

Like many websites, we may also use cookies. A cookie is a piece of data stored on a user’s hard drive containing information about a user’s use of a website. As explained below, we use cookies in order to make the website work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to us:

“Session based” cookie. This is essential for parts of the website to operate and has already been set. It is used to maintain the state of a user’s actions so as not to constantly request the same information from them within a “session”.

“Remember me” cookie. This is a permanent cookie which can remember who you are once you have logged into the website so you are not asked to log in again for future visits. You will be asked for your consent before agreeing to the use of this function.

“Analytics” cookie. This is used to collect information about how you use our site, such as where you have come to the site from and which website pages you have visited. We use the information to help us improve the website.

Notification of Changes

We reserve the right to amend this Privacy Policy from time to time and for any reason, in our sole discretion, without notice, by updating this Privacy Policy. Any changes we may make to this Privacy Policy in the future will be posted on this website.

Your Rights

You have the right to access the personal information we hold about you, and there are a number of ways you can control the way in which and what information we store and process about you.

Access: You have the right to ask for a copy of the personal information that we hold about you free of charge; however, we may charge a “reasonable fee,” if we think that your request is excessive, to help us cover the costs of locating the information you have requested.

Correction: You may notify us of changes to your personal information if it is inaccurate or it needs to be updated.

Deletion: If you think that we should not be holding or processing your personal information any more, you may request that we delete it. Please note that this may not always be possible due to legal obligations.

Restrictions on use: You may request that we stop processing your personal information (other than storing it), if: (i) you contest the accuracy of it (until the accuracy is verified); (ii) you believe the processing is against the law; (iii) you believe that we no longer need your data for the purposes for which it was collected, but you still need your data to establish or defend a legal claim; or (iv) you object to the processing, and we are verifying whether our legitimate grounds to process your personal information, override your own rights.

Object: You have the right to object to processing, including: (i) for direct marketing; (ii) for research or statistical purposes; or (iii) where processing is based on legitimate interests.

Portability: If you wish to transfer your personal information to another organization (and certain conditions are satisfied), you may ask us to do so, and we will send it directly if we have the technical means.

Withdrawal of consent: If you previously gave us your consent (by a clear affirmative action) to allow us to process your personal information for a particular purpose, but you no longer wish to consent to us doing so, you can contact us to let us know that you withdraw that consent.

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal information (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.
