If you do not agree with the content of this Privacy Policy, please do not use this Site.

If we make material changes to this Privacy Policy we will notify you by posting the revised Privacy Policy and the revised effective date on this Site and/or by some other means. If you use the Site after any changes to the Privacy Policy have been posted, this means you agree to all of the changes. This Policy is part of our Terms and Conditions of Use.
This Privacy Policy only covers our treatment of your personal information that we gather when you are accessing or using our Site, but not to the practices of companies we don’t own or control, or people that we don’t manage, nor to the privacy practices of any entity with whom CCG (or any of our affiliates) has an investment relationship, even if you are able to access such entity’s website or service through a link on the Site. It also does not apply to information obtained or disclosed in offline correspondence, through other personal contacts with CCG representatives.
TYPES OF INFORMATION COLLECTED BY CCG
CCG collects both non-personal information and personal information (which includes personal identifiers) from your interactions with us via the Site. Non-personal information is information that does not, by itself, identify the visitor as a specific individual. Personal information is information that specifically identifies a visitor to the Site (which may include contact information). As used in this Privacy Policy, “personal information” includes information referred to as “Personal Information” under the Delaware Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”).
Information You Provide to Us
If you sign up to receive CCG newsletters, or provide contact information or other information about yourself when signing up for a CCG event, CCG may request and/or you may be required to provide personal information, including, without limitation, your e-mail address.

Information Collected Automatically
CCG may collect information during your visit to the Site through our automatic data collection tools, which may include cookies and other commonly used information-gathering tools. These tools collect certain information that your browser sends to our website such as your browser type and language, access times, and the address of the website from which you arrived at the Site. They may also collect information about your Internet Protocol (IP) address and clickstream behavior (i.e. the pages you view, the links you click, and other actions you take in connection with the Site), geolocation data, and information about your device. A “cookie” is a small piece of data stored on a user’s browser, and contains non-personally identifiable information about the user. When you visit the website, CCG may place a “cookie” in order to improve your experience by recognizing you when you visit the website and in order to allow the company to optimize the information presented based on your demonstrated areas of interest.
Cookies may also be used to compile information about website usage. If you subsequently provide us with personal information such as your email address, we may associate any cookies on your browser with that information. You may be able to change the preferences on your browser or device to prevent or limit your device’s acceptance of cookies, but this may prevent you from taking advantage of some of our features. If you click on a link to a third-party website or service, a third party may also transmit cookies to you. Again, this Privacy Policy does not cover the use of cookies by any third parties, and we aren’t responsible for their privacy policies and practices.
CHILDREN’S PRIVACY
CCG is committed to protecting the privacy of young children, and therefore does not knowingly collect or maintain personally identifiable information on the Site from persons under 13 years of age, and no part of our website is directed to persons under the age of 13. IF YOU ARE UNDER 13 YEARS OF AGE, THEN PLEASE DO NOT USE OR ACCESS THE SITE AT ANY TIME OR IN ANY MANNER. In the event that CCG discovers that personal information has been collected from a person under 13 years of age, without verified parental consent in accordance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (“COPPA”), CCG will delete such information.
HOW CCG USES AND SHARES INFORMATION
Contacting You: CCG may use personal information you provide in order to contact you. For example, if you sign up for the CCG newsletter, CCG may use your contact information to send you the CCG newsletter and other communications from CCG. If you provide CCG with contact information or other information about yourself in connection with a CCG event, CCG may use that information internally and to communicate with you regarding CCG’s events. Aggregated Information: CCG may share information in aggregate form (i.e., that cannot reasonably identify a particular individual) with third parties for business purposes, such as consultants and advisors to CCG.
Protection of CCG and Others: CCG may disclose your information to a third party if required to do so by law or if, in good faith, CCG believes that such action is necessary to: (1) comply with the law, court order or with other legal process; (2) protect and/or defend CCG’s rights and property or prevent fraud; (3) protect CCG against abuse, misuse or unauthorized use of CCG’s products or services; or (4) protect the rights, safety and/or property of its personnel, affiliates, users of this Site or the public.
NON-CONFIDENTIALITY
If you submit unsolicited business plan ideas or slide decks to CCG through the Site, CCG cannot and will not accept responsibility for protecting against misuse or disclosure of any confidential or proprietary information included in such materials, in the absence of CCG’s express written agreement to do so. Except as expressly set forth in this Privacy Policy with respect to your personal information, any plans, information and other materials you submit in connection with this Site may be used or disclosed by CCG for any purpose and in any manner, as CCG determines in its sole discretion. Please consider this carefully before sending CCG any information or other materials that you deem confidential or proprietary.
ACCESS AND DELETION
You may request the specific pieces of personal information we have collected from you or request that we delete the personal information that we have collected from you by contacting us at privacy@CCG.com. However, we may need to retain such information in certain circumstances if it is necessary to provide you with services you requested or if we use such data only for our internal analytical use. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights under the CCPA. We will not deny you access to our Site or services, or provide you a lower quality of services if you exercise your rights under the
