We at Reach Capital (“Reach” “we,” “us,” or “our”) know that privacy is very important to you.

We explain in this Privacy Policy how we may use and disclose that information, the steps we take to keep it secure, your choices regarding our use of this information, and how you can contact us if you have any questions about our privacy practices. We will refer to the above-listed ways in which you may interact with us collectively as the “Services.” Capitalized terms not defined in this Privacy Policy shall have the meanings set forth in our Terms of Service.

By visiting the website or using the Reach Services, you accept the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to all of the terms of this Privacy Policy, you may not access or use the Services.

1. Information We Collect

In the course of operating the Services, Reach collects or receives the following types of information, which may include personal information.

a) Contact Information

When you submit a business idea or pitch presentation using our “Submit Your Idea” link or reach out to us using the “Get In Touch” link, you will be required to provide us with personal information about yourself, such as your first and last name and e-mail address (collectively, the “Contact Information”). We do not collect any Contact Information from you when you use our Services unless you provide it voluntarily through the “Submit your Idea” or “Get In Touch” links.

In addition to the Contact Information, we may collect additional information regarding you and your use of our Services, your interactions with us, any additional personally identifiable information (“PII”) you choose to provide when communicating with us (for example in your pitch submissions), as well as information regarding your computer or other devices used to access our Services (collectively, the “Other Information”). Such Other Information may include:

  • Information we collect automatically through cookies, and similar technology. Like most online services, we automatically receive standard technical information when you connect with the Services. We collect this information through browser cookies, pixels, web server logs, web beacons, and similar technologies. These features enable us to personalize your experience with the Services, understand how you use them, maintain a persistent session, and improve and further develop the Services. Cookies are small packets of data that a website stores on your computer’s hard drive so that your computer will “remember” information about your visit. We use cookies to help us collect Other Information and to enhance your experience using the Services. Specifically, we use cookies to personalize your experience when using the Services, analyze which features of the Services you use most frequently. To do this, we may use both session cookies, which expire once you close your web browser, and persistent cookies, which stay on your computer until you delete them. If you do not want the Services to place a cookie on your hard drive, you may be able to turn that feature off on your computer or mobile device. Please consult your Internet browser’s documentation for information on how to do this. However, if you decide not to accept cookies from us, the Services may not function properly. When the Services are made available to you through third-party sites, please be aware that these other sites maintain their own policies regarding cookies and the collection and use of information. You are responsible for reviewing those policies.
  • Information obtained from third-party analytics services. We may use third-party analytics services (such as Google Analytics) to evaluate your use of the Services, compile reports on activity, collect demographic data, analyze performance metrics, and collect and evaluate other information relating to the Services and internet usage. These third parties use cookies and other technologies to help analyze and provide us the data. By accessing and using the Services, you consent to the processing of data about you by these analytics providers in the manner and for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. The information used by such analytics services is generally at the aggregate level. To the extent any such information is at the individual level or is used for secondary marketing purposes, Canadian users may opt-out of such collection or use by sending an e-mail to info@reachcapital.com or writing to us at:Reach Capital

    • Monitor and analyze the effectiveness of the Services;
    • Improve the Services and develop new products, services, features, and functionality; and
    • Test the Services and our infrastructure to make sure the Services are working correctly.

3. How We Share Your Information

We may share transfer, or disclose Contact Information, and/or Other Information if you consent to us doing so, as well as in the following circumstances: 

  • To provide our Services to you. To provide you with our Services, we may need to share your Contact Information and Other information with third-party service providers such as cloud storage companies, information technology providers, and third party analytics companies such as Google Analytics. Such parties will use such information in accordance with the terms of their respective privacy policies. 
  • As part of the sale or other transfer of our business. As we develop our businesses, we might sell or buy businesses or assets. In the event of a corporate sale, merger, reorganization, sale of assets, dissolution, investment, or similar corporate event, the Contact Information, Billing Information, and Other Information may be part of the transferred assets.
  • For legal purposes. To the extent permitted by law, we may also disclose Contact Information, and the Other Information when required by law, court order, or other government or law enforcement authority or regulatory agency, or whenever we believe that disclosing such information is necessary or advisable, for example, to protect the rights, property, or safety of Reach or others.

We will take reasonable measures to require that any party receiving any of your personal information from us undertakes to: (i) retain and use such information only for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy; (ii) not disclose your personal information except with your consent, as permitted by law, or as permitted by this Privacy Policy; and (iii) generally protect the privacy of your personal information.

4. How We Protect Your Information

We take commercially reasonable steps to protect the Contact Information and the Other Information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Please understand, however, that no security system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee the security of our databases, nor can we guarantee that the information you supply will not be intercepted while being transmitted to and from us over the Internet. 

5. Children’s Information

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 through the Services. If you are under 13, please do not give us any personal information. We encourage parents and legal guardians to monitor their children’s Internet usage and to help enforce our Privacy Policy by instructing their children to never provide us personal information without their permission. If you have reason to believe that a child under the age of 13 has provided personal information to us, please contact us, and we will endeavor to delete that information from our databases.

6. External Websites and Payment Providers

The Services may contain links to third-party websites. Reach has no control over the privacy practices or the content of any of our business partners or other websites to which we provide links. As such, we are not responsible for the content or the privacy policies of those third-party websites. You should check the applicable third-party privacy policy and terms of use when visiting any other websites.

8. Do Not Track

As discussed above, third parties such as analytics providers may collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites when you access or use the Services. Currently, various browsers offer a “Do Not Track” option, but there is no standard for commercial websites. At this time, we do not monitor, recognize, or honor any opt-out or do not track mechanisms, including general web browser “Do Not Track” settings and/or signals.

9. Important Notice to Non-U.S. Residents
