Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

We collect information in the following ways:

• Information you provide to us. When you use our contact or investor-interest forms, or email us directly, you may provide your name; email address; company, firm, or organization; the nature of your inquiry; your investor type; your self-certification of accredited-investor status; and any other information you choose to include in your message.
• Information collected automatically. When you visit the Website, our hosting and infrastructure providers may automatically collect limited technical information — such as your IP address, browser and device type, referring pages, and the dates and times of your visits — through server logs and similar technologies.
• Cookies and similar technologies. The Website uses the cookies necessary for it to function. If we use analytics cookies to understand how the Website is used, we do so in a privacy-protective manner, as described below.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to your inquiries and communicate with you;
• Evaluate and follow up on expressions of interest from prospective investors, including verifying accredited-investor status before sharing any non-public materials;
• Operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Website;
• Comply with our legal and regulatory obligations, including those under applicable securities laws; and
• Protect our rights and the rights of others, and detect, prevent, and respond to fraud or misuse.

3. Basis for Processing

We process your information because you have provided it to us voluntarily and consented to its use for the purposes described, because it is necessary to respond to your request, or because we have a legitimate business interest in operating and growing Stonemont Group — in each case consistent with applicable law.

4. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information:

• With service providers who perform services on our behalf — such as website hosting, email delivery, and similar infrastructure providers — who are permitted to use the information only to provide those services;
• With our professional advisors, such as attorneys, accountants, and other consultants;
• With co-investors or financing parties in connection with an actual or prospective investment, only as appropriate and consistent with applicable securities laws;
• If required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Stonemont Group or others; and
• In connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, financing, acquisition, or other transaction involving all or a portion of our business or assets.

5. Cookies and Analytics

Most web browsers let you control cookies through their settings, including refusing or deleting them. Because some cookies are necessary for the Website to function, disabling them may affect how the Website works. We do not use the Website to serve third-party advertising.

6. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy — including to maintain our relationship with you, to comply with our legal, tax, and regulatory obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce our agreements — after which we delete or de-identify it.

7. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the information we collect. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Your Choices and Rights

You may:

• Decline to provide information, though some features of the Website may not be available to you as a result;
• Ask us to access, correct, update, or delete the personal information we hold about you; and
• Opt out of non-essential communications at any time by contacting us.

We will respond to your request consistent with applicable law.

9. California Privacy Rights

If you are a California resident, you may have the right to know the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you; to request deletion or correction of that information; and not to be discriminated against for exercising your rights. We do not sell or share (as those terms are defined under California law) your personal information. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below.

10. Other U.S. State Privacy Rights

Depending on your state of residence, you may have similar rights to access, correct, delete, or obtain a copy of your personal information. Contact us to exercise any rights available to you under applicable law.

11. Accredited-Investor and Financial Information

If you request investor materials, we collect your self-certification of accredited-investor status, and we may later request documentation to verify that status before providing any non-public information. We treat this information as confidential and use it only to evaluate and process a potential investment relationship and to meet our obligations under applicable securities laws.

12. Children’s Privacy

The Website is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18 years of age. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

13. Third-Party Links

The Website may contain links to third-party websites, such as our LinkedIn page. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies.

14. Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” signal. The Website does not currently respond to Do Not Track signals.

15. Users Outside the United States

The Website is intended for users in the United States. If you access it from outside the United States, you do so on your own initiative, you are responsible for compliance with local laws, and you understand that your information will be processed in the United States.

16. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above. Your continued use of the Website after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.
