We use the PII we collect in order to provide you an excellent experience when accessing the Services and to operate our business. We may integrate with social sharing features or other related tools which let you share actions you take on through our Services with other apps, sites or media, and vice versa. These features may enable the sharing of information with your friends or the public, depending on the settings you establish with the social sharing site. For example, you may click on a Facebook "like" button, which publishes to your Facebook account that you "like" one of the pictures or profiles featured through our Services. These features may also collect your IP address and which page you are visiting and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. Your interaction with these features is governed by the privacy policy of the relevant social sharing site. Please refer to the privacy policies of those social sharing sites for more information. As stated herein, we cannot control the use of any such information or content you choose to make available publicly.
Note that we may also process Personal Data of our user’s clients (buyers and/or sellers) in connection with our provision of services to user, in which case we are the processor of this data. If we are the processor or service provider for your Personal Data (i.e., not the controller or business), please contact the controller/business party in the first instance to address your rights with respect to such data. Please read the following carefully to understand our views and practices regarding your Personal Data and how We will treat it.

We may also share your personal data with government or law enforcement agencies when we are required to report our data processing activities, upon receipt of an exigent circumstances request, upon receipt of a duly authorized subpoena or court order, or where doing so is necessary to protect our users, our employees, our contractors, third parties, or property.
Finally, we may share your personal data to a third party if we sell, transfer, or merge any part of our business or assets. In the event that we share your personal data in the sale, transfer, or merger of any part of our business or assets, this Privacy Policy will continue to apply to your personal data when transferred to the new entity.
InvestorFuse has put into place data security measures to protect your PII. InvestorFuse allows access to your PII only by employees and service providers who have a need to know or access your PII on InvestorFuse’s instructions. InvestorFuse will notify you and any regulatory body of any breach of your PII or InvestorFuse’s security measures if it is legally required to do so.
If you have registered an account with us and we provide you with account settings that let you modify, correct, or delete the personal data that you have provided to us that is associated with your account. Many of our third-party service providers are located within the United States and their processing of personal data will involve a transfer of data outside of the European Union.
We also put data security measures into place to protect your personal data. We allow access to your personal data only by employees and service providers who have a need to know or access your personal data on our instructions. We will notify you and any regulatory body of any breach of your personal data or our security measures if and when we are legally required to do so.
We will only retain your personal data for so long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it is collected under this Privacy Policy or for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
You may have a right to request access to your personal data for correction, transfer, erasure, or restriction, or to object to its processing or withdraw your consent. If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact our Data Protection Officer as disclosed in this Privacy Policy.
You do not need to pay a fee to access your PII or to exercise your rights. However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is unreasonable or excessive.
To confirm your request, we may need to request specific information from you as a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to an unauthorized third party. We will attempt to respond to all legitimate requests within thirty days.
InvestorFuse’s Services may include links to third party Services and applications. By clicking on third party links, you may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. InvestorFuse does not control these third-party links and you are advised to review their respective privacy policies.
California residents have a right to request that we disclose what personal information we collect from you and whether, and how, we disclose or sell that personal information. California residents may also request that we correct or delete any personal information collected or maintained by us from you. California residents may also have the right to opt out of the sharing or sale of their personal information or sensitive information upon request.
California residents may opt out of the sharing or sale of their personal information by clicking a link or icon associated with an advertisement. Specifically, this link or icon may state “Do Not Sell My Personal Information,” “Do Not Share My Personal Information,” “Do Not Share My Info,” or “Do Not Sell My Info.” By selecting this link or icon, you “Opt Out,” which means that you have opted out of the sharing or sale of your personal information as set forth in the California Consumer Privacy Act. However, even though you may have opted out, you may still see interest-based advertisements. To learn more about interest-based advertising across websites and additional opt-out choices, you can visit http://optout.aboutads.info. If you opt-out of the sharing or sale of your personal information but do not opt out of interest-based advertising more generally, you may still receive ads tailored to your interests based on personal information that was not shared or sold by us, personal information that was shared or sold to downstream participants at least 90 days before you opted out, or personal information that was shared or sold by other sources from which you have not opted out.
California residents may opt out of having their sensitive personal information used or disclosed for advertising or marketing. Sensitive personal information includes your precise geolocation and the contents of mail, email or text messages, unless the business is the intended recipient.
