Information we collect and how we use it
We offer a service that requires you to register for an account and provide some personal and business information to us. In order to provide our services, we may collect the following types of information:

Personal information – When you sign up for an EquityNet account, we ask you for personal information (such as your name, address, phone number, email address, and account username and password). We also request that our customers provide credit card or other payment account information, which is encrypted and securely maintained at Authorize.Net. Email addresses and other user contact information that is collected through Crowdcast is securely stored and is used to send, resend, and unsubscribe from the Crowdcast mailing list. This information is collected for internal use only and will not be sold to or shared with third-party firms.

Business information – We may collect business information that may be used by us in an anonymous aggregate form. This information will not be used with an identification of individual users or individual businesses. Transparency of user and business data related to an identifiable business is restricted to recipient users who have been specifically authorized to view such information by the originating and authorizing user.

Contact information – Each time you use our Crowdcast functionality, you may grant us authorization to retrieve a list of contacts from an email account you provide. We do not interact with or store your credentials. You may select to use all, a portion, or none of the contacts that are listed. The contacts that you choose will be stored in our database only for the purposes of scheduling the emails and handling unsubscriptions from further mailings.
When using a Google account with our Crowdcast functionality, we ask for readonly access to your contacts at both the general and "other contacts" levels in order to provide the broadest base of people for you to contact about your business.
