Children's Privacy

You must be 18 years or older to use our Services. Our Services are for a general audience, are not targeted to children, and do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18 years of age.

Links to Third-Party Websites

We may provide links to websites and other third-party content (e.g., social media platforms) that are not owned or operated by us. The websites and third-party content to which we link may have separate privacy notices or policies. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these websites.

If you provide any personal information through a third-party site, your interaction and your personal information will be collected by and controlled by the privacy policy of that third party site. We recommend that you familiarize yourself with the privacy policies and practices of any such third parties, which are not governed by this Privacy Policy.

Advertising and Opt-Out Disclosures

When you use our Services, our third-party advertising partners, social media providers and analytics providers may collect personal information about your online activity on our Services and on third party websites.

These providers may set web tracking tools (e.g., cookies and web beacons, as discussed further below) to collect information regarding your online activity. In addition, our advertising partners may use this information to deliver advertisements to you when you visit third party websites within their networks. Please note that you may continue to receive generic ads that are not based on your preferences.

Information Security

We use commercially reasonable administrative, technical, personnel, and physical measures designed to safeguard information in its possession against loss, theft and unauthorized use, disclosure, or modification. However, the confidentiality of information transmitted over the Internet cannot be guaranteed. We urge you to exercise caution when transmitting personal information over the internet. We cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will not gain access to your information; therefore, when submitting personal information to us, you do so at your own risk.

Cookies and Similar Technology

We and our partners use various tools to collect data when you visit our sites and apps, including cookies, pixels, localStorage, and other similar technologies. Some of these technologies store data in the browser or on your device. Other technologies may use network-related or other information to recognize your device (e.g., IP address). Our Services use these technologies, for example, when you first request a web page and data is then stored on your computer or other device so the website or mobile application can access personal information when you make subsequent requests for pages from that Service. These technologies may also be used to collect and store information about your usage of the Services, such as pages you have visited, other content you viewed, and search history.

We and our partners may also use these technologies to gather personal information about how you view and use our Services and content, and to connect your activity with other data we store about you. We and our partners may collect your personally identifiable information about your online activities over time and across different websites when you use the Services. The use of these technologies helps us serve you better by understanding what you're interested in, tracking trends, measuring the effectiveness of ads, saving your preferences, and storing information you may want to retrieve on a regular basis. We also allow specific, approved partners to collect data from your browser or device for advertising and measurement purposes using their own similar tools.

Your web browser can be set to allow you to control these technologies, such as whether you will accept cookies, reject cookies, or to notify you each time a cookie is sent to your browser. If your browser is set to reject cookies, websites that are cookie-enabled will not recognize you when you return to the website, and some website functionality may be lost. The Help section of your browser may tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting these technologies such as cookies. To find out more about cookies, visit www.aboutcookies.org. Also, certain versions of the Android operating system allow you to “Opt-out of Ads Personalization” in the system settings. Options you select are browser and device specific.

Some browsers permit the user to send a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) preference to websites that the user visits indicating that the user does not wish to be tracked over time and across websites. Because there is not yet a common understanding of how to interpret DNT or a common definition of “tracking,” we do not currently respond to the DNT signal on our websites. We do, however, honor other global privacy preferences when required by law.

Your Marketing Preferences

We may periodically send promotional materials or notifications related to our Services. If you no longer wish to receive promotional marketing materials from us, you may opt-out of receiving such materials. You may unsubscribe from receiving marketing or other commercial emails from us by following the instructions included in the email. You may unsubscribe from text messages you previously consented to by following the prompt provided on our messages. We will work to comply with your request promptly.

There are certain service notifications and other non-promotional emails that you may not opt-out of, such as notifications of changes to our Services or policies.

Suspicious Email

It is our policy not to email you or send you electronic communications to request non-public personal information or account information (such as a username or password). If you receive an unsolicited email or other electronic communication that appears to be from Arachno but you suspect may be from another source and might be fraudulent, please email us at Privacy@arachno.io.

If you are a California resident, you may request information about our compliance with the Shine the Light Law by sending an email to privacy@arachno.io or by sending a letter to Arachno LLC, Attn: Arachno LLC Privacy Office, 8 The Green, Suite A, Dover, DE, 19901.

Storage and Protection of Personal Information

We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards that are designed to protect the privacy and security of personal information. Procedurally, Arachno employees are bound by, and held accountable to, a code of conduct and policies regarding confidentiality and the treatment of client information. Furthermore, only those Arachno employees who require access to your personal information in order to provide customary services (investment, administrative, legal) to your account are granted access to your personal information. Additionally, Arachno has a dedicated group that designs, implements and provides oversight of information security. We also monitor our systems infrastructure in order to detect weaknesses and potential intrusions.

Physically, Arachno has policies that require our employees to store and destroy documents containing your personally identifiable information in accordance with applicable laws, federal guidelines and industry best practices.

Technologically, Arachno uses methods such as encrypting files, utilizing firewalls to prevent unauthorized access to information, restricting access to client information to prevent removal of information from the firm, and masking of data on computer screens to protect your personal information.

In order to help secure personal information collected from you as an Arachno/Moneyball Investment Scout online services user, including sensitive financial data, the information is protected by SSL encryption when it is exchanged between your web browser and Arachno/Moneyball Investment Scout online services. However, the internet is not a fully secure environment, and we cannot ensure or guarantee the security of any information transmitted to or generated by Arachno in connection with Arachno/Moneyball Investment Scout online services. There is no guarantee that information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our administrative, technical, and physical, or other operational, safeguards. You play a critical role in protecting your information by maintaining up-to-date computer security protections. Steps you take to ensure the security of your computer, computer passwords, or other personal identifier authentication mechanisms are key components of the protection of your personal information. For more information on protecting your electronic information, please visit our Privacy/Security page. You agree that you are responsible for any additional verification procedures and security you deem necessary.

While we take the aforementioned steps to secure our websites and applications, the confidentiality of information transmitted over the Internet cannot be guaranteed. We urge you to exercise caution when transmitting personal information over the Internet. Arachno cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will not gain access to your information; therefore, when submitting personal information to Arachno, you do so at your own risk.

By using Arachno services, you agree that the procedures provided for in this Privacy Policy and the procedures implemented on Arachno services to protect personal information and to verify the identity of users including, but not limited to, those procedures described in the foregoing paragraph, constitute commercially reasonable website security and customer verification procedures.
