We use the term “Personal Information” to mean any information that could be used to identify you, including your name, address, email address, birth date, financial information, cell or land-line phone number, or any combination of information that could be used to identify you. What Personal Information we collect from you depends on what Services you choose to use and how you interact with the Services: 


Site Visitors 
We have structured our Site so that, as a casual site visitor, you may come to our Site and review selected information about our Services without registering or providing Personal Information. However, if you wish to become an Investor, then we require you to provide certain Personal Information. 

Investors
If you choose to access our Services as an Investor, we require that you complete a registration form. An Investor is an individual who is over the age of 18 and has completed the registration process on the Site. Our registration forms will specify the information which you must provide in order to enjoy the particular features to which you wish to subscribe, which may include such items as (i) name; (ii) email address; (iii) phone number(s); (iv) mailing address; (v) Social Security number (for IRS tax reporting purposes); (vi) bank account number; and (vii) birth date. Our registration forms may additionally request information that you may, at your option, choose to provide or withhold.

This information may include (i) information from a successfully completed electronic check transaction, (ii) a credit report, or (iii) other similar information designed to authenticate and confirm your identity or to otherwise comply with applicable law.
