If you are uncomfortable with our policies and practices, please do not provide any personal information to us through the site. As used in this Privacy Policy, the terms “you” and “your” refer to each visitor to the site, and the terms “we,” “our,” “us,”, “network”, “platform”, “app” and “ClearLight” refer to ClearLight Capital, or CL.

What We Collect
When you apply for membership, we ask for basic information such as your name, company name and information, and contact information. We keep track of your participation in CL or CL activities and services so we can understand our users interests and evaluate the effectiveness of our offerings. We also collect demographic information from other sources to help us learn more about member characteristics and needs. When you register with CL, we may collect your name, email address, physical address, phone number and other background information, and you may also be asked to provide additional information in your profile, such as but not limited to your location (city, country), professional experience, educational background, link to your LinkedIn profile, company website, and other interests. Please note that by registering at https://clearlight.capital/ or by otherwise providing information on the platform, you have given us your express and informed consent to transfer the data that you provide to us.
Information Sharing
We share your personal information only with companies we have selected to provide member services or support our operations. Our contracts with these companies require them to keep the member information confidential, and allow them to use the information only to offer the contracted services to CL. We may release personal member information on the rare occasions when we are required to do so by law, or when necessary or appropriate to comply with legal process or to protect or defend CL and its members. We do not sell or rent member information to telemarketers, mailing list brokers or any other companies.
Does CL collect non-personal information, using "cookies" or otherwise?
We also collect other types of information that do not allow us to identify your name, email address, or other personal characteristics. This "non-personal information" includes the number assigned to your computer whenever you access the Internet ("IP address"), and the type of browser you use. None of this non-personal information allows us to identify or contact you. We use this information to help us evaluate how the site is being used. By gathering this information, we can learn, among other things, how many people visit the platform, which pages/insights/sections/features are the most and least popular, and which other web sites are the most frequent referral sources for CL.
We may also assign a "cookie" to your computer in some situations. Like an IP address, a “cookie" is a kind of online identification tag that allows us to recognize your computer each time you visit CL.
We currently use Google Analytics to capture the GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) for each user, geographical region, age range, gender and user type, although we may use other similar tools in the future. The GUID is personally identifiable by CL but not by Google. The information is stored in the cookie Google places on the computer for web analytics. We also use an authentication cookie that lets the site know the user has a valid login. If a user disables session cookies, the site may not work. Users can only disable first party and third party cookies.
How does the site protect security and confidentiality?
In order to protect your personal information, we use technologies and processes such as encryption, access control procedures, network firewalls, physical security and other measures. These measures increase, but do not guarantee, the security and privacy of information traveling to, from, and within the site.
