Our goal in collecting visitor information online is to provide the best website experience possible, through delivering relevant information that meets user needs.

We receive and store any information you enter on our Websites or give us in any other way. You can choose not to provide certain information, but by choosing not to provide such information you might not be able to take advantage of certain features on our Websites. We also receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us.

Your personal data, including name, address, email address, phone number, and chat usernames, will not be sold or shared with outside companies. By providing your personal data, you will be contacted by our staff members, may receive email updates, chat messages, telephone calls, text messages, and periodic notifications via a secure file sharing website.

Information We Share With Others

Any personal information you provide to us on our Websites when you register for emails, call, chat, or submit a request for information is maintained in private files on a secure web server. Golden Gate Global shares this information only with affiliated companies in order to help us provide better service to you. These affiliates are required to maintain your information in the strictest confidence.

We may also share non-personally identifiable information with third party companies to help manage and optimize our online Websites and email communications, to process financial transactions, and to ensure compliance with government regulations.

As we continue to develop Golden Gate Global, we might sell, buy, or create new businesses. In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises made in any pre-existing privacy notice.

We release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law; enforce or apply our relevant or other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of www.3gfund.com, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction. Obviously, however, this does not include selling, renting, sharing, or otherwise disclosing personally identifiable information from customers for commercial purposes in violation of the commitments set forth in this Privacy Policy. We do not sell our clients’ information.
