    • We use cookies to improve and customize your browsing experience. For example, cookies permit the Website to remember that you have registered, which makes it possible for you to enter your log in ID and password less frequently and which allows us to speed up your activities on the Website.

This often can be done by changing your internet software browsing settings. It also may be possible to configure your browser settings to enable acceptance of specific cookies or to notify you each time a new cookie is about to be stored on your computer enabling you to decide whether to accept or reject the cookie. To manage your use of cookies there are various resources available to you, for example the “Help” section on your browser may assist you.

    • By accessing or using our Website or online services, you consent to iRely using cookies. If you refuse to accept cookies by adjusting your browser setting or taking any of the other kinds of actions discussed above, some or all areas of our Website or online services may not function properly or may not be accessible.
  • Our Use of Personal Data
    • Generally, iRely will not share, rent, sell or otherwise disclose any of your personal information except with your permission.  However, iRely may disclose personal information in the following ways:
      • If you are a qualified investor, as necessary to enable managers or representatives of private investment funds to make determinations with respect to the eligibility and suitability of you as a qualified investor, and to contact you for purposes of discussing investment opportunities in private investment funds;
      • If you are a manager or representative of a private investment fund, as necessary to enable qualified investors who are registered users to make determinations with respect to the eligibility and suitability of such investment fund, and to contact you for purposes of discussing such investment opportunities;
      • In using certain of the services, some of your personal information will be displayed either to other persons or entities whom you designate, or to the public;
      • Affiliates, including affiliated services providers;
      • We may disclose your personal information to our third-party contractors, service providers, and agents who perform services for iRely. These contractors and service providers are permitted to use the personal information only for the purposes of such services;
      • We may be legally obligated to disclose personally identifiable information to the government, law enforcement officials or third parties under certain circumstances, for example, in response to legal process, court order or a subpoena and tax reporting. We also may disclose such information where we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, unauthorized access, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of our Terms of Use, abuse of this Website, security breaches of this Website, or as necessary to protect our systems, business, users or others or as otherwise required by law;
      • We may disclose and transfer your information as part of a merger, acquisition or other sale or disposition of our assets or business;
      • Other organizations, with your consent or as directed by your representative; and
      • Other organizations, as permitted or required by the laws that protect your privacy (for example, for fraud prevention).
      • We require each of the above parties to adhere to our privacy standards or substantially similar standards for non-disclosure and protection of personal information and to use this information only for the limited purpose for which it was shared. Individuals interact with us in a variety of ways, and under some of these variations, we may exchange information with parties in addition to those described above.
      • We may also share all individual investor information, under joint marketing agreements with nonaffiliated financial services business partners, to offer discounts or other special access to products and services. In addition, we may disclose aggregated information to advertisers and for marketing or promotional purposes. In these situations, we do not disclose to these entities any information that could be used to personally identify you.
      • If you are a former customer, your personal data is treated in the same manner as the personal data of current customers.
  • Our Retention of Personal Data
    • iRely will retain personal data while we have a justifiable business need to do so, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, legal, accounting, or other purposes). For example, if you are a customer, we will keep your personal data for the duration of the contractual relationship you or your company has with us and after the end of that relationship for as long as necessary to perform the functions set forth above or to comply with legal obligations. When we have no justifiable business need to process your personal data, we will either delete or anonymize it, or if this is not possible, we will securely store your personal data and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.


4. SECURITY

iRely uses administrative, organizational, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal data.  We will take reasonable precautions to protect personal data in our possession from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. With respect to information given on the Internet, iRely uses a variety of proven protections to maintain the security of your online session. This may include the use of firewall barriers, encryption techniques and authentication procedures.  We require our partners to use appropriate security measures.


5. USER ACCESS AND CHOICE

  • You are entitled to ask us for a copy of your personal data, to correct it, erase or restrict its processing, or to ask us to transfer (parts of) this data to other organizations. You also have the right to object to certain processing activities, such as the profiling we may perform for the purposes of direct marketing as discussed above in this Policy. Where we have asked for your consent to process your personal data, you have the right to withdraw this consent, for example, by using the opt-out or unsubscribe functionalities in our communications with you.  These rights can be limited where we can demonstrate that we have a legal requirement or legitimate basis to process your personal data, and under such circumstances, we are able to retain your data even if you withdraw your consent.
  • If you wish to make use of any of these rights, please contact our Data Privacy Officer by e-mail or postal mail at the contact information provided below for the Data Privacy Officer or, as applicable, by using opt-out or unsubscribe functionalities in our communications with you. We will respond to your request within 30 days.
