Depending on how you interact with our Platform, there may be some cases where we need to provide you with additional information about how we use your Personal Data and/or what options you have regarding our use of your Personal Data.

WE COLLECT PERSONAL DATA AND USAGE INFORMATION
Our primary goals in collecting Personal Data are to verify the identity of individuals who are principal owners of entities that apply for and maintain a financial account with us, provide and improve our Platform, conduct our operations, communicate with you and enable visitors to our Platform to enjoy and easily navigate it. This section describes what Personal Data we collect.
When we refer to "Personal Data" in this Notice, we mean information that identifies, relates to, describes or is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, to a specific person. This might be information that directly identifies someone, such as their name, or it may be information that identifies someone only when combined with other information available to us. Please note, except as provided under applicable laws, Personal Data does not include information that is publicly available through government records or information that has been deidentified or aggregated in a way that it cannot be used to identify a specific individual.
In addition to Personal Data, we, or third parties acting on our behalf, may collect certain information about the device you use when you interact with our Platform through the normal operation of our Platform and through the use of cookies, pixels, and other web technologies on our Platform (collectively, "Usage Information"). Usage Information, by itself, generally does not identify the specific person using the device that generated it. This means that unless required pursuant to applicable law, Usage Information usually will not be considered Personal Data and the ways we use Usage Information may differ from what is described in this Privacy Notice. However, if we link Usage Information directly with your Personal Data or other information that could identify you, we will treat the linked Usage Information as Personal Data and use the linked Usage Information as described in this Privacy Notice.
Categories of Personal Data We Collect. Depending on the type of activity you are performing on the Platform or how you use or interact with our Platform, we may collect and disclose the following Personal Data:

HOW WE COLLECT YOUR PERSONAL DATA
Directly From You. When you engage with us in connection with our Platform, such as requesting information, creating an account, communicating with us or otherwise interacting with us, we may ask you to provide certain Personal Data. Some of the Personal Data we request may not be required, however, we will specifically indicate what Personal Data is required to engage in such activity. For example, we may need to verify your identity and provide additional information via a video call to process a withdrawal request. If you elect to not participate in the video call or provide the requested information, we may not be able to process the applicable withdrawal request.
From Third Parties. We, or third parties acting on our behalf, may collect Personal Data about you from third parties, including, without limitation, online and offline sources, entities affiliated with us, our service providers, social media platforms, advertising networks and other public or commercial sources (collectively, "Third Party Sources"). The collection of Personal Data from these Third Party Sources can occur in a variety of ways, including, without limitation:

Please note, we have not yet developed a response to browser "Do Not Track" signals, and do not change any of our data collection practices when we receive such signals. We will continue to evaluate potential responses to "Do Not Track" signals in light of industry developments or legal changes.
HOW WE USE SESSION REPLAY SOFTWARE
Session replay software allows a website operator to record and play back a user’s journey through the operator’s website or mobile app. We may use session replay software provided by third parties that help us to better understand each individual’s user experiences on our Website (like how much time users spend on which pages, which links they click, what they like and don’t like) and use that knowledge to fix bugs on the Website, improve user experience throughout our Platform, and improve how the Website functions. Session replay software may use cookies and other technologies to collect data about the behavior of our users, including, without limitation, mouse movement, click information, and text entered as a user navigates through our Website, as well as information about the devices that accessor interact with our Website, including, but not limited to, IP address of the device, screen size, device type, unique device identifiers, information about the browser used, general location of the device, and the preferred language for displaying our Website. The third parties that provide session replay software to us store this information on our behalf in a pseudonymized user profile and are contractually prohibited from selling the data they collect on our behalf through the session replay software.
You can block session replay software in several ways. If you have cookies disabled, you won’t be tracked by any session replay software using cookies. You can visit www.allaboutcookies.org in order to obtain more information on deleting or controlling cookies. Some session replay software providers also respect the Do-Not-Track (DNT) headers in browsers, meaning that you may be able to use the DNT setting in your browser to avoid certain session replay software from tracking any data about your visit. DNT is implemented through your browser, so you’ll need to check if the setting is enabled or disabled within your own browser.
