PROVIDE TO PERSEUS OR ANY INFORMATION THAT PERSEUS COLLECTS, IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS POLICY.
Privacy Policy
Perseus is committed to handling information regarding its past, current and prospective clients and other users of the Website responsibly. New technologies have dramatically changed the way information of all kinds is gathered, used and stored, but the importance of preserving the security and confidentiality of client information has remained a core value of Perseus. Perseus recognizes and respects the privacy expectations of each of our clients and users of our Website. The confidentiality and protection of client and user information is one of our fundamental responsibilities.
For purposes of this Policy, the term “user” means any natural person, corporation, limited liability company, and other entity who visits the Website and/or provides non-public personal information to Perseus through the Website.
Collection and Disclosure of User Information
User information collected by or on behalf of Perseus is obtained directly from the user, from the user’s professional advisors or other representatives, or on behalf of the user from other third parties, and generally is entered on the Website or comes from the following sources: subscription agreements, advisory agreements, other required forms and agreements, correspondence, and written or telephone contacts with users regarding their accounts.
The information Perseus collects (the “Information”) may include a user’s name, address, social security or employee identification number, assets, net worth, income, investments, beneficial interests, investment history, information about investment goals and risk tolerance and other identifying information or personal financial or non-financial data.
Perseus may record certain data about your use of the Website. Perseus may use your IP address to help diagnose problems with its server, and to administer the Website.
The Information you may
provide to Perseus via the Website is used for reasonable business purposes and
the purpose for which you provided it, including, without limitation, to
respond to your request or correspondence.
The Information may also be analyzed so that Perseus can provide you
with useful information and serve you in the best manner possible through new
features and functions on its Website.
Perseus may employ outside
agents or third-party service providers to operate the Website and employ
others to perform functions on its behalf, such as sending postal mail and
e-mail and analyzing data. These third
parties may have access to personally-identifiable information needed to
perform their functions. These third
parties may not use your Information
for any other purpose.
Perseus may disclose your Information to certain third parties: (i) as
authorized by you, (ii) as permitted by applicable law, for example, to service
providers who maintain or service customer accounts for Perseus; or (iii) as
required by applicable law, for example, as part of a regulatory or similar
filing with certain regulatory and/or governmental agencies. You hereby authorize Perseus to
disclose your Information in those
circumstances.
Security of User Information
If Perseus collects any
Information about you, it will take reasonable precautions to protect your
Information from loss, misuse or alteration.
Perseus restricts access to your Information to those employees who need
to know that Information to provide products or services to you. Perseus maintains physical, electronic, and
procedural safeguards that comply with applicable federal regulations to guard your
Information. You should recognize, however, that there is no such thing as
“perfect security” on the Internet and consequently Perseus cannot ensure or
warrant the security of any information you transmit to it.
Perseus adheres to the policies and practices described in this Policy
regardless of whether or not the user is a current or former client.
Correcting or
Updating Personal Information
If Perseus
collects any personal information about you and your personal information
changes, Perseus will gladly correct, update, or remove any data you have
previously provided. You may change your
personal information at any time by sending Perseus an e-mail at perseusllc@perseusllc.com. Perseus
