By visiting this website made available by JB Matteson (the “Site”), you agree to be bound to the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy, which may be updated by us at any time.

We only collect, use, store and disclose your personal information where we have a lawful basis to do so. We, including parties acting on our behalf or our affiliates behalf (such as our service providers), collect, use and disclose (for the purposes described below) several types of personal information, including:

  • Identifiers. We collect contact information, such as name, email, address, phone number and title, if you or your representative provide us with this information in connection with prospective services or if you work with us as a service provider or vendor to our business. We also collect contact information from those who register for or attend our sponsored events. We use this information to communicate with such persons and conduct our business relationships.

  • Information Collected Through Technology. We collect information you voluntarily provide us by email, by webform on the Site and any other electronic transmissions. We also collect information automatically on the Site through the use of cookies. When you visit websites, they may store or retrieve data in your browser. This storage is often necessary for the basic functionality of the website. The storage may be used for marketing, analytics, and personalization of the site, such as storing your preferences. You have the option of disabling certain types of storage that may not be necessary for the basic functioning of the website. For those who engage with us as an investor, we, or our service provider, collect your online identifiers, such as your username and password, to access restricted investor portals accessible from our Site.

  • Commercial Information. We may collect information needed for our operations, such as bank account information to process vendor invoices and payments, transaction history and signatures, as further described below.

  • Professional and Education Information. We may collect information needed for our operations, such as background or educational information, references, emergency contact information, information to identify conflicts of interest and similar information as needed to comply with our policies and procedures.

  • Other Electronic Network Activity Information. We maintain various security measures to protect our technology infrastructure. We monitor those who connect to our guest internet network or otherwise interact with our in-office technology infrastructure, such as by collecting browsing history, IP address or other unique identifier and information about the devices connected to our network.

  • Audio and Visual Information. We collect audio and visual recordings of our hosted events to support our marketing efforts. We maintain security measures to protect our premises, including video cameras, and to facilitate our operations, we may also collect audio recordings from those who leave us voice messages.

  • Physical Security and Biometric Information. We maintain various physical, technical and administrative security measures to protect our premises and operations, which capture personal information. These include badges to enter the building and access certain parts of the premises, health checks as may be recommended by public health authorities and sign‐in processes for guests.

If you have provided us with non-personally identifiable information, including anonymous information and aggregate data, we may use such non-personally identifiable information to understand better how visitors use the Site. We may use this anonymous data and disclose it to our service providers for lawful business purposes, including to improve the Site and promote our business.

If you engage with us as an investor, we, including parties acting on our behalf or our affiliates behalf (such as our service providers), also collect, use and disclose:

  • Information you provide us or that your financial representative provides us on forms used in connection with your investments, in other electronic or written communications and during telephone or in person meetings (such information may include identifiers such as your name, residential and business addresses, citizenship, birthdate, email address, telephone numbers, household income and net worth, investment qualification and education background, sensitive personal information including your social security number or taxpayer identification number, passport information, driver’s license, information on your tax forms, and other information necessary for us to market our services to you or comply with laws and regulations that apply to our operations);

  • Information about the amounts you have invested with us, such as your initial investment, current account balances and any subscriptions or withdrawals;

  • Information about any bank account used to transfer funds between your investment with us and your bank, including information provided for wire transfers; and

  • Information we receive from other parties, including information from referral sources, and information that is generated by our service providers, such as administrators, accountants, bankers and custodians, to service our investors and accounts (such as account statements, tax information reports, transaction records, confirmations of contributions and withdrawals and similar information).

Sources of Personal Information

Much of the information referenced above will have been provided by you, but some may come from other sources, such as your representatives (including your broker-dealer or investment adviser), your business contact at JB Matteson or a mutual referral contact.

If you provide personal information about any person other than yourself, you must ensure they understand how their personal information will be used and that they have given their permission for you to disclose their personal information.

Use of Your Personal Information

We use personal information under this Privacy Policy to operate our business. For example, we may use personal information:

  • To evaluate and effect investment transactions and contracts, manage the services we provide and help maintain the administration, safety, security and integrity of our business and assets;

  • To comply with any applicable compliance, legal and regulatory obligations, lawful requests and legal processes (such as to respond to subpoenas and requests during government investigations) as we believe appropriate, and to comply with the compliance obligations required by our service providers;

  • To communicate with you about investments, our other services and products, and updates regarding our firm;

  • To improve the services provided to you, as well as understand your interests and personalize your experiences with us;

  • For marketing and promotional communications (as permitted by law and to the extent you do not opt out of receiving such promotional communications); and

  • On occasion, we may ask for your consent to use your personal information for purpose(s) we explain at that time.

If you do not provide requested information in connection with our operations and services, we may be unable in some circumstances to comply with our obligations or to pursue a relationship with you, and we will tell you about the implications of that decision at that time.
