This personal information may include your name, email address, home address and phone number, date of birth, social security number and/or tax identification number, employer, and job title. When you subscribe to make an investment in one of the opportunities listed on the Site, you will again be asked for some of the same personal data as well as some additional data, such as your bank routing number and bank account number. This data is needed in order to enable ourselves or our broker-dealer partners to utilize your bank account to originate funds transfers and later to make investment disbursements to you.

Since we do not have direct control over the policies and practices of TTC, or any third-party vendor or partner, we are not responsible for the privacy practices or contents of their sites.

We may make your information, including non-personally identifiable information or personally identifiable information, available on the Site and visible to other users of or visitors to the Site. For instance, subject to certain preferences and permissions as to visibility you will be allowed to make, information you provide about yourself in response to questionnaires on the Site may be made available to others such as information concerning your status as an accredited investor. As such, other users of the Site may be able to personally identify you based on your information made available on the Site.

We may also send you responses to emails you send us, if appropriate. From time to time, we will also send user surveys, requests for user feedback regarding user experience and Site operations or marketing offers from us or from us on behalf of our marketing partners. The completion of these surveys or requests for feedback or acceptance of any offer is strictly voluntary. If you do not wish to receive these offers, surveys or user feedback emails, please opt out in any offer email you receive from us.

Cookies, Web-Beacons & Server Logs

Cookies are small text files, which often include a unique but anonymous code, sent by a Site server to your Web browser and stored on your computer. They recognize you as a repeat visitor, allowing you to log in faster and enhance your navigation through the site and the general user experience. Cookies do not identify you by name as an individual or by account number. Cookies also track traffic patterns on our Site, helping us understand how you are using our Site. This information allows us to improve the security, content, navigation and functionality of our Site. Cookies note that your browser was used to visit certain sites, pages, or advertisements on a certain date, but are not used to collect or disseminate any personal information.

Additionally, we use cookies on our Sites and the sites on which we advertise to track advertising performance and to collect aggregate data on Web page viewing. We may contract with third-party service providers (e.g. Google Analytics) to assist us in better understanding our site visitors. These service providers are not permitted to use the information collected on our behalf except to help us conduct and improve our business.

You can manually disable cookies. You should review the online documentation of your browser or consult with the provider of your browser for instructions on how to disable cookies. However, disabling cookies may cause some parts of the Site to not function properly.

A “web beacon” is typically a transparent graphic image (usually 1 pixel x 1 pixel) that is placed on a site or in an email which allows the website to record the simple actions of the user opening the page that contains the beacon. “Server logs” can be either a single log file or several log files automatically created and maintained by a server of activity performed by the server, which can include information about any transaction you conduct with the server.

Internet Protocol (IP) Address

As you enter our Site, we capture and retain the IP address of the device you are using, such as a personal computer or a handheld device. The IP address does not identify you or your personal information and is used for security purposes only. We may use this information to monitor and prevent fraud, diagnose problems, and (anonymously) estimate demographic information.

Nonpublic Personally Identifiable Information

In the event that you request access to the confidential investment details and business details of an offering on the Site or the Service, the email address linked to your SOMA.finance user account may be furnished to the issuer to facilitate communication between you.

SOMA.finance

does not sell, rent, or license, or otherwise disclose nonpublic personally identifiable information about current or former clients to anyone, except in cooperation with the government and regulatory agencies with a lawful summons, court order, subpoena, fraud investigation, audit or regulatory examination, investigations of a violation of legal rights of SOMA.finance or any other person, or as permitted or required by law, to non-affiliated third parties that help us provide services to you. For example, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) requires that we verify your accredited investor status before you may invest in any offerings made available through our Site. Toward that end, SOMA.finance employs or contracts with other third parties, companies or individuals, including TTC, to perform certain functions or services on its behalf. Examples of these services from such third parties, companies, or individuals, may include:

• ID verification;
• Accreditation/financial/credit verification;
• Electronic document signing;
• Payment storing and processing;
• Sending postal mail and email;
• Escrow services;
• Disbursement of funds;
• Analyzing data;
• Providing marketing assistance; and
• Providing customer service.

As such, these third parties, companies, or individuals may have access to nonpublic personally identifiable information concerning you that they provide to us. In turn, in order to comply with SEC requirements, we may have to share such information with issuers of securities or other offerings made available on our Site, with broker dealers, or with  TTC, depending on the types of investments you will be making through the Site.

All non-affiliated third parties that accept or receive this information from us are obligated contractually or by law or regulation to keep this information confidential and to use the information only to provide the services we ask them to perform. These non-affiliated third parties will be provided with only that information necessary to perform their functions on our behalf, and we will not allow them to use your personally identifiable information for any other purpose. SOMA.finance shall be entitled to transfer to a third-party information it maintains, including any personally identifiable information, in connection with a transaction or proceeding involving a transfer of some or all of the assets relating to the Site or a business in connection with which such information is maintained.

We may store nonpublic personally identifiable information in locations outside of our direct control such as on servers, or databases maintained by hosting providers. You may decline to submit nonpublic personally identifiable information through SOMA.finance, in which case we may not be able to provide certain services to you. You may update or correct your account information and email preferences at any time in your online profile.

SOMA.finance may buy or sell assets or business offerings. Customer, email, and visitor information is generally one of the transferred business assets in these types of transactions. We may also transfer such information in the course of corporate divestitures, mergers, or dissolution. In any such transfer of information, your user information would remain subject to the Agreement.

If you use our blog on the Site, you should be aware that any personally identifiable information you submit there can be read, collected, or used by other users of this forum, and could be used to send you unsolicited messages. We are not responsible for the personally identifiable information you choose to submit in this forum.

Protecting Your Information

SOMA.finance uses commercially reasonable physical, managerial, and technical safeguards to preserve the integrity and security of your personal information. We employ a variety of security measures, including encryption and authentication tools. Your personal information is stored behind firewalls and is only accessible by a limited number of people who are required to keep the information confidential.
