5. Types of Data We Collect
“Personal Data” means data that allows someone to identify or contact you, including, for example, your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, as well as any other non-public information about
you that is associated with or linked to any of the foregoing data. “Anonymous Data” means data that is not associated with or linked to your Personal Data; Anonymous Data does not, by itself, permit the identification
of individual persons. We collect Personal Data and Anonymous Data, as described below.
(a) Information You Provide to Us
We may collect Personal Data from you, such as your first and last name, phone number, e-mail and mailing addresses, professional title, company name, and password when you create an account to log in to our Services
(“Account”). We may collect holdings information provided by you or your advisor; If you use our Services on your mobile device, we may collect your phone number and the unique device ID number.
If you tell us where you are (e.g., by allowing your mobile device to send us your location), we may store and use that information to provide you with location-based information.
Our Services let you store preferences like how your content is displayed. We may associate these choices with your ID, browser or the mobile device, and you can edit these preferences at any time.
When connecting to our Services via a service provider that uniquely identifies your mobile device, we may receive this identification and use it to offer extended services and/or functionality.
Certain services, such as two-factor authentication, may require our collection of your phone number. We may associate that phone number to your mobile device identification information.
We retain information on your behalf, such as files and messages that you store using your Account.
If you provide us feedback or contact us via e-mail, we will collect your name and e-mail address, as well as any other content included in the e-mail, in order to send you a reply.
When you publicly post or share content (such as text, images, photographs, messages, comments or other kind of content) on a publicly accessible area of the Service or with other users of the Services, the
information contained in your posting will be stored in our servers and other users will be able to see it. The information that you provide in your profile page (“Profile”) will be visible to others.
When you post messages on the message boards of our Sites, the information contained in your posting will be stored on our servers and other users will be able to see it.
When you participate in one of our surveys, we may collect additional profile information.
We also collect other types of Personal Data that you provide to us voluntarily, including when you answer questions on our Services to determine what kind of portfolio we might recommend to clients, your financial
and sustainability goals and objectives, other financial information and other information your provide during the onboarding process, and other requested information if you contact us via e-mail regarding support for
the Services.
We may also collect Personal Data at other points in our Services that state that Personal Data is being collected.
(b) Acting as your Authorized Agent
Klathrate offers services where Klathrate acts as an agent to retrieve your financial account information, such as your account balances and holdings and transactions, and household information, from financial
institutions designated by you. By accessing and using the Services you expressly authorize and direct Klathrate, on your behalf, to electronically retrieve your account information maintained by third-party financial
institutions with which you have a legally binding customer relationship (“Account Information”). Klathrate may work with one or more third-party financial service technology providers to access and
retrieve your Account Information.
(c) Information Collected via Technology
Information Collected by Our Servers. To make our Services more useful to you, our servers (which may be hosted by a third party service provider) collect information from you, including your browser type, operating system, Internet Protocol (“IP”)
address (a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you use the Internet, which may vary from session to session), domain name, and/or a date/time stamp for your visit. Log Files As is true of most websites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes IP addresses, browser type, Internet service provider
(“ISP”), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data. We use this information to analyze trends, administer the Services, track users’ movements around the Services, gather demographic
information about our user base as a whole, and better tailor our Services to our users’ needs. For example, some of the information may be collected so that when you use the Services again, it will recognize you and
the information could then be used to serve advertisements and other information appropriate to your interests. Except as noted in this Privacy Policy, we do not link this automatically-collected data to Personal
Data. Cookies Like many online services, we use cookies to collect information. “Cookies” are small pieces of information that a website sends to your computer’s hard drive while you
are viewing the website. We may use both session Cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent Cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete them) to provide you with a more personal and
interactive experience on our Services. This type of information is collected to make the Services more useful to you and to tailor the experience with us to meet your special interests and needs. How We Respond to Do Not Track Signals We do not currently respond to “do not track” signals or other mechanisms that might enable users to opt out of tracking on our Services. Mobile Services We may also collect non-personal information from your mobile device if you access the Services through your mobile device. This information is generally used to help us
deliver the most relevant information to you. Examples of information that may be collected and used include your geographic location, and information about the type of device you use.
Analytics Services In addition to the tracking technologies we place, other companies may set their own cookies or similar tools when you visit our Services. This includes third party analytics
services (“Analytics Services”), including but not limited to FullStory, that we engage to help analyze how users use the Services, as well as third parties that deliver content or offers. We may
receive reports based on these parties’ use of these tools on an individual or aggregate basis. We use the information we get from Analytics Services only to improve our Services. The information generated by the
Cookies or other technologies about your use of our Services (the “Analytics Information”) is transmitted to the Analytics Services. The Analytics Services use Analytics Information to compile reports on
user activity. The Analytics Services may also transfer information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process Analytics Information on their behalf. Each Analytics Services’
ability to use and share Analytics Information is restricted by such Analytics Services’ Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. By using our Services, you consent to the processing of data about you by Analytics Services in
the manner and for the purposes set out above. For a full list of Analytics Services we use, please contact us at privacy@ethicinvesting.com. For more information on how
