Our Online Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) describes and applies to the information we collect from consumers when they visit our websites or applications (“Online Services”). The terms “we,” “our,” and “us” in this Privacy Policy refer to Thumbraise, Inc. and its affiliates, divisions and subsidiaries. Our Privacy Policy generally describes how we collect, share, use and protect your information.
When you visit our Online Services, we receive and collect certain information about you. The information we collect will generally relate to business entities rather than consumers obtaining a product or service for personal, family or household purposes. We may collect contact and other information relating to potential investors in businesses that use our platform. Businesses seeking investment also may provide information regarding the business, often through one or more pitch videos posted on the platform. Investors may seek through the platform additional information from a business.
We may use information loaded on the platform for a number of purposes, for example, to better service requests and/or inquiries, monitor Online Services usage and/or performance, improve the customer experience of our Online Services, ensure technological compatibility with your computer and protect against fraud or identity theft, or conduct aggregate analyses on usage patterns. Information loaded to the platform may also have identifying characteristics removed and aggregated with other data relating to investors or businesses.
Every time you visit a website, some information is automatically collected from you. For example, this information may include some or all of the following items: your computer’s Internet protocol (IP) address and/or domain; type and version of Internet browser software and operating system you use; date, time, and duration of your Online Services access; specific pages, buttons, images, videos, links, or forms that you access while visiting the Online Services; and demographic information concerning the country of origin of your computer and the language(s) used by it.

We may use these technologies on our Online Services to verify your identity, remember personal settings including your preferences, to offer you additional options or enhance your online experience, and to improve our products and services. We may also use them for marketing site personalization, and tracking of online applications and programs and/or track the effectiveness of advertisements for our products and services, referred to as banner ads, that we may place on our Online Services or other linked and/or partner websites. Cookies used for tracking advertising effectiveness do not collect personally identifiable information. In order to better serve you, some of these technologies allow us the ability to view your past interactions with our Online Services for customer service, troubleshooting, risk analysis and fraud detection, as well as other related purposes. At this time the Online Services do not react differently based on web browser do-not-track or similar signals.
