Privacy Policy

Last Updated: November 11, 2021

I. Introduction

This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) describes how RiseImpact Capital, LLC (“RiseImpact” or “we” or “us”) handle information that we collect about you or other individuals, and the privacy protection we accord to personally identifiable information (“PII”). For purposes of this Policy, PII about you means information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with you or your household.

We may change the terms of the Policy from time to time. When we make changes, we will post the amended policy on our websites, including https://www.riseimpact.com/ and https://ims.riseimpact.com/login, as well as any other Site that links to this Policy (the “Sites”). If the changes are material, we will post a notice on the Sites alerting you to the change. Any changes to the Policy will become effective immediately upon our posting of the Policy, so please be sure to review the current Policy before providing us with PII.

II. How Does RiseImpact Collect Your PII and What Types of PII Does It Collect?

RiseImpact collects PII about you when you actively provide it to us, such as by sending us a message through the Sites’ “Contact Us” pages, responding to a request for information, preparing forms to invest in our funds, signing up to receive communications from us, sending us an email or letter, or applying for a job with us. We also may collect PII about you from other sources, such as our business partners; the Internet, including social media websites; the press or other print media; and other organizations or individuals as permitted under applicable law.

Listed below are the types of PII that we may have collected about you within the past 12 months. Some of these types of information may not be PII, depending on other information we have access to about you. Each type of information listed below is PII only if the information identifies, relates to, describes, references, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with you or your household.

  • Identifiers such as: your name, postal address, online identifier, Internet Protocol (IP) address, email address, Social Security number, driver’s license number, or other similar identifiers.

VI. Updates to Your PII

If you would like to update PII that you have provided to us, you may contact us through one of the means listed in the “How to Contact Us” section below.

VII. Site Use Limitations and International Data Transfers

Our Sites are not directed to users under the age of 13 and we do not knowingly collect PII online from any person we know to be under the age of 13.

Our Sites are designed for users from, and are controlled and operated by us from, the United States. By using our Sites, you consent to the collection of your information in the United States, which may have different data protection rules than those of your country.

VIII. Links to Other Websites

Our Sites may provide links to third-party websites. When you click on one of these links, you will be accessing content that is not subject to this Policy. We are not responsible for the information-collection practices of the other websites that you visit and advise you to review their privacy policies before you provide them with any PII.

IX. California Residents’ Privacy Rights

If you are a resident of California, you have certain privacy rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”). We honor those rights, as described below, and we are prohibited by law from discriminating against you for exercising any of those rights.

A. Right to Know

If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what PII we have collected about you, why we collected it, and the categories of third parties (excluding service providers) with whom we have shared the PII during the past 12 months. (See below on “How to Submit a Request.”) You may request that we provide a description of the categories of PII we have collected (a “Categories Request”) or a request for access to the specific pieces of PII we have collected (a “Specific Pieces Request.”)

If you make a Categories Request, and you do not have any type of account with us, we will need you to provide us with at least two data elements specific to you, such as your cell phone number or driver’s license number (depending on the data elements we already maintain about you), so that we can verify your identity. After we confirm that your request is a verifiable consumer request, we will disclose to you:

  • The categories of PII we collected about you.
  • The categories of sources for the PII we collected about you (e.g., social media websites, government records available to the public, etc.).
  • Our business or commercial purpose for collecting that PII.
  • The categories of third parties other than service providers (if any) with whom we shared the PII.

If you make a Specific Pieces Request, we need to be sure we have verified your identity with great certainty to safeguard the privacy of the PII we have collected. If you do not have any type of account with us, you will need to provide to us at least three data elements specific to you, together with a signed declaration under penalty of perjury that you are the individual to whom the PII you are requesting pertains. After we confirm that your request is a verifiable consumer request, we will, consistent with the CCPA, disclose to you the specific pieces of PII we collected about you that you requested.

B. Right to Request Deletion

You have the right to request that we delete any of your PII that we maintain. However, we are not obligated to comply with your request if we have a legal basis to retain the PII. We will not delete any PII pursuant to your request unless we are able to verify that you are the individual to whom that PII pertains.

If you make a request for us to delete PII, and you do not have any type of account with us, we may need you to provide us with at least two data elements specific to you so that we can verify your identity. Once we receive and confirm that your request is a verifiable consumer request (see below on “How to Submit a Request”), we will inform you whether we have deleted (and have directed our service providers to delete) your PII from our records, or whether we are declining to grant your request to delete due to a legal basis for us to retain the PII.

C. Exceptions to CCPA Rights

The CCPA has certain exceptions to the rights it grants to residents of California. Under one such exception, if you are working for or seeking to work for RiseImpact, the CCPA currently does not provide you with a “right to know” or “right to request deletion” until January 1, 2021. Similarly, if you are an employee or other representative of a business or other organization that is exploring or engaging in a business-to-business transaction with RiseImpact, the CCPA currently does not provide you with a “right to know” or “right to request deletion” until January 1, 2021.

D. How to Submit a Request

To request access to or deletion of your PII as described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by either:

You may make a request on your own behalf, and if you are the parent or guardian of a minor child, you also may make a request related to your child’s PII. If you wish to designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf, please provide us with a signed declaration stating that your intent is to permit that individual to act on your behalf and include such individual’s full name, address, email address, and phone number. That way we will be sure you have fully authorized us to act in accordance with the requests of that individual.

As indicated above, in order to protect your PII from unauthorized disclosure or deletion at the request of someone other than you or your legal representative, RiseImpact requires identification verification before granting any request to provide copies of, know more about, or delete your PII. We take special precautions to help ensure this. We cannot respond to your request or provide you with PII if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm that the PII relates to you. We will only use PII collected in connection with a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 45 additional days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.
