Privacy Policy

This privacy policy applies to your use of www.rubiconinvestgroup.com (the “Sites”) and is designed to inform you of the information we gather as part of your use of the Sites and how we use such information. Rubicon Investment Group LLC may be referred to as “Rubicon” or “we” or "us" in this Privacy Policy.

What Type of Information Does Rubicon Collect?

We may collect three types of information from time to time about users: (1) “Personal Information” (such as name, company/employer, phone number, physical address, email address, IP address, session data for your log-in session, and other account-related information); (2) “De-Identified Information” (such as non-identifiable statistical information on the Sites usage); and (3) “Aggregate Information” (such as information about how many users log on to the Sites on a daily basis):

Personal Information is collected online when users voluntarily submit personal information by establishing an account, requesting information, sending or receiving electronic notices or other similar communications on the Sites. Your Personal Information will be retained for fulfillment of the intended purposes for which such Personal Information is collected.
De-Identified Information is collected online information in which all personal information has been removed by Rubicon. De-Identified Information is used in a collective manner for analyses and statistics in order to improve the Sites. De-Identified Information does not personally identify a specific user.
Aggregate Information is non-identifiable (or anonymous) information about you, such as pages most frequently accessed by you. Aggregate Information is used in a collective manner, and no single person can be identified by that compiled information (for example, the number of people who logged into the Sites in a given day). Aggregate Information does not personally identify a specific user.

We will establish minimum and maximum retention periods based upon the type of information collected (i.e., sensitivity), the intended purposes and as otherwise may be legally required.
