Performance of a Contract – Where processing is necessary to provide our Services, open or maintain accounts, facilitate transactions, or otherwise perform our contractual obligations to you.

Legitimate Interests – Where processing is necessary for our legitimate business interests, including operating and improving our Services, ensuring platform security, preventing fraud, conducting internal analytics, enforcing contractual rights, and managing risk, provided such interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms.

Automated decision making and profiling

Augment does not engage in automated decision-making based solely on automated processing that produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you.

Certain automated tools may be used to assist with fraud detection, sanctions screening, AML compliance, risk scoring, and platform security. These tools support human decision-making and do not independently determine eligibility for services or transactions without human review.

If we were to engage in automated decision-making that materially affects you, we would provide appropriate notice and rights as required by applicable law.

Automated decision making

Augment does not engage decision making based solely on automated processing which produces legal effects concerning any individual or similarly significantly affects any individual.

How we share your information

From time to time, to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to any contractual limitations on sharing Personal Data set forth in a relevant contract for products and services, we may share your information with our affiliates, subsidiaries, business partners, customers/members (such as where we process your Personal Data in connection with your role with your employer or financial services provider), third-party service providers, and authorities in the following circumstances:

Affiliates, Subsidiaries, Business Partners, and Customers We may share your information with our business units, affiliates, subsidiaries, business partners, and customers in the US and worldwide for purposes identified above. To the extent required or permitted by applicable law, by visiting or using our Sites or otherwise providing us with your information, you consent to this sharing of your information. To opt-out of such sharing based on consent, please contact us via email at contact@augment.market or at the location in the Contact Us section below.
Service Providers We may share your information with third parties who perform functions on our behalf (e.g., hosting or operating our services or Sites, processing credit card payments, sending email marketing communications, data analysis, or any financial institutions or business partners with whom we jointly offer products or services). We require these third parties to maintain appropriate security to protect your information from unauthorized access or processing. We do not authorize these third parties to use your information for any purposes other than the specific purpose(s) for which it has been provided, and do not permission these third parties to disclose that information to any unauthorized parties.
As Required or Appropriate by Law. We may disclose your information to regulatory authorities, courts, and government agencies where we believe that doing so would be in accordance with, or permitted or required by, any applicable law, regulation, or legal process, to defend the interests, rights, and/or property of Augment or others, or to respond to emergencies. We may also disclose your information as part of an information-sharing arrangement established under applicable law such as one developed by a government authority to combat financial crime.
Business Transfers. We may transfer your information to a third party in the event of any reorganization, merger, sale, joint venture, assignment, transfer, or other disposition of all or any portion of our business, brands, affiliates, subsidiaries, or other assets. To the extent that such a transaction results in you being a current or prospective customer, vendor, or other third-party point-of-contact for both the portion of the business that is transferred and the portion that remains with Augment, your information may be both transferred to the transferee and retained by Augment. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we may share information with a prospective buyer or transferee of the business as part of the diligence process provided that we require any such third party to maintain the confidentiality of your information and protect it with appropriate technical and organizational security measures.

We may share your information with other parties as directed by you or subject to your consent. We may also process and share aggregated or otherwise de-identified information with other parties. For example, we may utilize survey information collected from you on an aggregated or otherwise not individually identifiable basis. We also use aggregated or de-identified information for other business purposes, including the creation and sale of other products and services to our clients and potential clients. This aggregated or de-identified information is not traceable to you, or any particular client or user, and will not be used by any third party to contact you.

Except as described herein, we do not share, sell, rent, or trade your information to our service providers or business partners for their own direct marketing purposes, unless we have explicitly given you the option to opt-in or opt-out of such disclosures.

In connection with any merger, acquisition, financing, due diligence review, reorganization, bankruptcy, or sale of company assets, Personal Data may be disclosed to prospective or actual counterparties and their advisors, subject to appropriate confidentiality and data protection obligations. Any successor entity will be required to use Personal Data in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy or provide notice of material changes.

Marketing communications

We process Personal Data within the scope of our marketing and market segmentation. With market segmentation, we mean that we categorize our customer base based on professional affiliations and functions, alignment with our services and products, and information gathered from public sources of information. For customers or users of our Sites, we may also use information gathered from your use of our products, services, and/or Sites for marketing purposes to market our products and services to you. You always have right to request that we stop using your personal data for direct marketing purposes.

If you no longer wish to receive marketing communications from us, you may opt-out of receiving marketing-related emails: (1) you can use the unsubscribe method provided in our communications; (2) if you created an online account when you registered to receive our emails, you may log-in to your account on the applicable Site and make changes to your communication preferences; or (3) you can opt out by updating your preferences in the Email Alert section of our Sites. In particular, you have the right to object our use of your Personal Data for direct marketing and in certain other situations (in accordance with applicable law). If you are having difficulty unsubscribing from our email marketing communications using the above methods or otherwise wish to object to certain usage, please contact us as at contact@augment.market.

We will make reasonable efforts to comply with your request as soon as reasonably practicable and as required by applicable law. Please note that we may need to retain certain information for recordkeeping purposes, to complete any transactions that you began prior to your request, or for other purposes as required or permitted by applicable law. In addition, please note that even if you opt-out of receiving marketing communications from one or all of our Sites, we may still need to send you service-related communications.

Your rights regarding your personal data

To the extent required by applicable law, in our capacity as the controller of your Personal Data, we will also provide you with the opportunity to be informed of whether we are processing your Personal Data and at any time to access, correct, update, oppose, delete, block, limit, or object to our use of your Personal Data. The foregoing rights will be afforded to you free of charge (except to the extent that your requests are manifestly unfounded or excessive, in which case, we may charge an administrative fee or refuse to meet your request). Please note that legal obligations that apply to our business – for example, financial regulations that apply to us – may prevent us from immediately deleting parts of your information. To exercise your rights, please contact us as detailed under the Contact Us heading below.

To prevent fraudulent activity, we may require you to authenticate your identity when you contact us. We will try to comply with your request as soon as reasonably practicable and within timeframes required by applicable law. Please note that in some instances, due to the nature of the information that we receive, we may require you to provide additional information that will help us identify which information is yours. For requests subject to the European General Data Protection Regulation, we will respond to your request within one month of our receipt of it. We may extend this period by two further months considering the complexity of your request or the number of requests that we have received; we will inform you of any such extension within one month of receiving your request along with the reasons for the delay and information about your right to file a complaint with the supervisory authority.

In general, and depending on applicable laws, you have the following rights with respect to our processing of your Personal Data:

Right to access, rectification, erasure, and restriction of processing. You have the right to request:

Access to your personal data. This means that you have the right to request information on our use of your Personal Data. You also have the right to request a copy of the Personal Data being processed at no cost. However, we may charge you a reasonable administrative fee to provide you with additional copies of the Personal Data. If you make your access request by electronic means such as email, we will provide you with the information in a commonly used electronic format.
Rectification of your personal data. We will, at your request, or at our own initiative, rectify, anonymize, erase, or complement Personal Data that you or we discover is inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading. You also have the right to complete the Personal Data with additional data if relevant information is missing.
Erasure of your personal data. You have the right to request that we erase your Personal Data if we do no longer have an acceptable reason for processing the data. Given this, erasure shall be made by us to the extent: (i) the Personal Data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, (ii) we use your Personal Data with your consent and you withdraw your consent, (iii) you object to the processing of your Personal Data based on our legitimate interest and there is no overriding legitimate ground for the processing, (iv) the Personal Data has not been lawfully processed, or (v) we are required to erase the Personal Data due to a legal obligation.

However, there might be requirements under applicable law or other reasons that prevent us from immediately erasing your Personal Data. In such cases, we will stop using your Personal Data for any other reasons than to comply with the applicable law or the relevant other reason.

Right to restrict processing: This means that we temporarily restrict the processing of your Personal Data. You have the right to request restriction of the processing when:

you have requested rectification of your personal data in accordance with this Privacy Policy, during the period of time we are verifying the accuracy of the data,
the processing is unlawful and you do not want the Personal Data to be erased,
as data controller, we no longer need the Personal Data for the purposes for which it was collected, but you require us to retain the information for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or
you have objected to our legitimate interest for the processing in accordance with this Privacy Policy, during the period of time we determine whether the legitimate interest overrides your privacy rights.

We will take all reasonable and possible actions to notify any recipients of your Personal Data regarding any rectification, erasure, or restrictions carried out by us. At your request, we will also inform you of the third parties with which we have shared your Personal Data (if any).

Right to object to processing. You have the right to object to the processing of your Personal Data based on our legitimate interest. If you object to such processing, we will only continue with the processing if we have a compelling legitimate reason for the processing that outweighs your interest, rights, or freedoms, or if continued processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of a legal claim.
Right to portability. You have the right to receive certain of your Personal Data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and have the right to transmit those data to another controller. You only have this right when your personal data is processed by automated means and our legal basis for the processing is performance of a contract between you and us.
Right to lodge a complaint. You have the right to lodge any complaints regarding our processing of your personal data with the relevant supervisory authority.

Security of your information

We take reasonable technical, administrative, and physical security measures to protect your information, including applying generally accepted industry standards to protect the information submitted to us during transmission and once we receive it. However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure, so we unfortunately cannot guarantee absolute security. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (e.g., if you feel that the security of any account you might have with us has been compromised), please contact us immediately as detailed under the “Contact Us” heading below.

We also maintain a written incident-response program designed to identify, respond to, and remediate actual or reasonably suspected unauthorized access to or use of customer information. Where required by applicable law or regulation, including the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation S-P, we will provide notice to affected individuals of certain security incidents involving their information within the time periods and in the manner required by such laws and regulations.

International transfers

Some of the parties with which we may share your information, as detailed in “How We Share Your Information”, may be located in countries that do not provide an equivalent level of protection as your home country. If we transfer Personal Data outside of its country of origin, we have implemented controls designed to ensure that such transfers are lawful and that your data remains protected by appropriate cross-border transfer solutions to provide adequate protection for transfers of certain personal information, including the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses (available at https://commission.europa.eu/publications/standard-contractual-clauses-international-transfers_en). To the extent permitted by applicable law, by using our Sites, and providing us information about you, you consent to the international transfer of your information as described above.

Retention of your information

We will retain your Personal Data only as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose(s) for which it was collected. The criteria used to determine our retention periods include:

The duration of our relationship with you or the company you represent;
The length of time necessary to provide the services you have requested;
Our legal and regulatory obligations, including recordkeeping requirements under securities laws (e.g., typically 7 years for transactional data); and
Any potential need to resolve disputes or enforce agreements.

Personal Data collected for marketing purposes is retained until you withdraw your consent. If you want additional information about retention periods for your Personal Data, please contact us as described herein.

Cookies, web beacons, and other technologies

This technology may involve placing small files/code on your device or browser that serve a number of purposes, including remembering your preferences (e.g., language) and generally improving your experience on our Sites. For example, we may use such technology to:

Provide us with general analytics about our Sites, including demographic information in a de-identified form, in order to improve our Sites’ performance and customize users’ experience;
Enable us to help you make better use of our services or Sites such as by suggesting how you can improve your use of different features or functionality or help address technical issues that you encounter in using our services or Sites;

Cookies. A cookie is a small text file saved on your device or browser. Some of these cookies are necessary for the functioning of our Sites (known as “strictly necessary” cookies), while others are not (known as “non-essential” cookies). Some cookies (known as “persistent cookies”) will remain on your device until you delete them, while others (known as “session cookies”) are automatically erased when you exit your Internet browser. We do not link the information we store in cookies to you or your personal information.

You can set your device or browser to accept or reject most cookies, or to notify you in most situations that a cookie is offered so that you can decide whether to accept it. However, if you block cookies, certain features on our Sites may not function. Additionally, even if you block or delete cookies, not all tracking will necessarily stop.

We may place or recognize technology on your browser or device when you visit our Sites for purposes of serving you targeted advertising (also referred to as “online behavioral advertising”). We also work with third-party advertising companies who place their own cookies or similar technology on your browser or device when you visit our Sites and other websites to serve customized advertisements to you as you browse the Internet. As noted above, you can set your device or browser to accept or reject most cookies, or at least notify you in most situations that the technology is offered. As an additional step, these advertising companies may participate in one of the following advertising industry self-regulatory programs for online behavioral advertising, with corresponding user opt-outs:

DAA App Choices Mobile App (Mobile Devices Only) – For mobile devices (e.g., smartphone, tablets), you may consider downloading the DAA AppChoices Mobile App to manage such technology.

Please note that even if you reject such technology, you may continue to receive advertisements, but the advertisements will not be tailored to your browsing activities and interests.

Log Files. We automatically gather log files, such as your IP addresses, browser type, internet service provider, referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data when you use our Sites. We may combine information from log files with your information.

Clear GIFs (Web Beacons/Web Bugs/Embedded Pixels). Clear GIFs are embedded on our Sites and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. The information collected by these technologies is associated with other technology and information, but only for internal tracking purposes only. We do not disclose any such tracking information outside of Augment.

Flash LSOs. Flash Local Storage Objects (“Flash LSOs” or “Flash Cookies”) display content based upon your preferences for how you like to view our Sites. Flash LSOs are different from browser cookies in relation to the size, types, and storage of collected information. Cookie management tools provided by your browser will not remove Flash LSOs.

Third-party applications and APIs. We also offer and deliver services, content, or interactive features through and/or using third-party application programming interfaces, gadgets, and/or extensions that are hosted on our Sites or through other third-party websites or social networking platforms. When you use these services, products, applications, or otherwise connect with, or “accept” or “allow” third-party applications, networks, platforms, or services through our Sites, you are authorizing those third parties to receive your information and additionally to potentially share any or all of your information with us, based on your privacy or other settings on the particular third-party network or platform. Any information we receive by these means will be treated and/or processed according to this section and the Privacy Policy generally.

Referrals

If you choose to use our referral service to tell someone about our products or services or Sites, we will ask you for that person’s name and email address. We will send your referral a one-time email to invite him/her to access the Site or with information about the product or service, and store his/her email address for the sole purpose of sending this one-time email and tracking the success of our referral program. Your referral may contact us as detailed under the “Contact Us” heading below to request we remove this information from our database.

Links to other websites

Our Sites may contain links to other websites or services that are not owned or controlled by Augment, including links to websites of our advertisers, sponsors, and partners.

We have no control over these third-party websites, and your use of third-party websites and features are subject to privacy policies posted on those websites. We are not responsible or liable for the privacy or business practices of any third-party websites linked to or from our Sites. Your use of third parties’ websites linked to our Sites is at your own risk, so we encourage you to read the privacy policies of any linked third-party websites when you leave one of our Sites.

We may use third-party payment services to process purchases made through the Sites. If such service is made available and you wish to make a purchase through the Site, your Personal Data may be collected by the third party (and not by us). In that case, the information you provide to the third party will be subject to that third party’s privacy policy and not this Privacy Policy.

Use of sites by children

None of our Sites are targeted for use by children under the age of sixteen. We do not target any of our products or services or Site content/features for use by children of such age.
