Belay Investment Group, LLC (“Belay,” “we,” and “us”) recognizes the importance of protecting the privacy needs of users of our websites (the “Service”) and social media pages.

Information We Collect and Use

Through the Service. We collect and store the following personal information and use it for typical business purposes (including security and anti-fraud purposes), as described more specifically below, and where required by law, we will rely on consent (including implied consent) as a basis for processing your personal information.

• Personal identifiers. We receive personal identifiers (such as your name, phone number, and e-mail address) and use them to respond to your requests, and to communicate with you for marketing, and informational purposes. We may also collect and use this information to respond to feedback and complaints.
• Message content. We receive messages you submit through contact us forms on the Service, including in connection with inquiries, and complaints. We use this information to respond to your requests and to improve the Service and our service.
• Location information. We may use some of the information we collect, such as IP addresses, to estimate an approximate location of the device you are using to access our Service in order to enhance and personalize the features and functionality of the Service and service offerings and to better understand the usage of the Service.
• Anonymous or aggregated information. We de-identify or aggregate data we receive and may use and disclose it for any business purpose.
• Inferences. We may draw inferences from the categories of information described above. This information may be used so that we can improve future user experiences with the Service and to provide a more personalized experience.

Social Media.  If you post information on our social media pages, we may use the information to respond to your post, to promote our business and services, and in the normal course of our business operations. We may collect personal identifiers, such as your social media username, and other personal characteristics that you have made publicly available on the social media website. Note that the third-party operators of social media websites also receive such information and your posts, and their use of your personal information is governed by their own privacy policies.

Automatically Through the Service. When you visit our Service, we and our third-party partners, such as analytics providers including Google Analytics, collect information by automated means. Such means include the use of cookies, web beacons, web server logs, and other similar technologies.

We may use such technologies to collect personal identifiers (such as your IP address), information about your device (such as your browser characteristics, device IDs and characteristics, operating system version, and language preferences) and information concerning your usage of our Service (including the link you used to reach a given webpage). For example, we use this information to determine how many users have visited particular webpages, viewed particular content, or opened messages or alerts, and we may also use such information to improve the performance of the Service, to improve our marketing activities, and to enforce our website service terms, prevent malicious conduct, and for anti-fraud and security purposes.

In some cases, our third-party partners may process information collected by cookies and related technologies that we permit them to use on the Service. With respect to any social network pages that we may use, please see the privacy policies and any cookie policies of the applicable social network providers as to their automated data collection practices.

Like many other website operators, we currently use Google Analytics to collect and process certain Website usage data so we can evaluate our Website traffic. To learn more about Google Analytics and how to opt out, please visit https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

You may be able to change a web browser’s settings to block and delete cookies when you access the Service through that web browser. However, if you do that, the Service may not work properly; also, we will still receive basic information (such as last URL visited) when you navigate to the Service. The Service does not respond to browser do-not-track signals.

Information and Disclosures

We may provide third parties with the personal information we collect (as described above) for our business purposes to assist us in providing products and services to you.

To Comply with the Law and Legal Process. We may access, preserve, and disclose information concerning you if required to do so by law or if we believe that such action is necessary in our judgment to comply with a legal obligation.

Other Sharing. We may share information as described under “Information We Collect and Use” above and for other business purposes as otherwise explained in this Privacy Policy.

Sales, Mergers, and Acquisitions. In the event of a merger, acquisition, financing due diligence, reorganization, bankruptcy, receivership, sale of company assets, or transition of service to another entity (whether by private sale, through operation of law, as part of a divestiture plan, or otherwise), we will provide personal information and transaction history associated with each such business unit to the persons and/or entities assuming control of such business unit or as otherwise necessary to complete the transaction as permitted by law or contract.

Protection of Personal Information

We strive to process your information securely, in accordance with this Privacy Policy, and in accordance with information security requirements imposed by applicable law. We cannot, however, be responsible for Internet communications that are inherently not completely secure.

Links to Third-Party Websites and the Investor Login Portal

The Service may contain links to other websites, and other websites may link to the Service. This Privacy Policy does not apply to personal information that you submit to the websites of our business partners or any other third-parties or that are collected by them from you, even if those third-party websites are linked to our Service. This Privacy Policy also does not apply to the Investor Login portal to which the Service links. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other websites. When you visit another website – via a link from the Service or otherwise – you should review the privacy policy of that other website. This Privacy Policy applies solely to information provided or obtained on our Service.

No Use by Children Under the Age of 13

The Service is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. If you are under the age of 13, you may not use our Service. We do not knowingly collect, maintain, or use personal information from children under 13 years of age.

Privacy Rights
