Privacy Policy

Effective as of October 15, 2022

California Notice at Collection: See the California resident privacy rights section below for important information about your rights under applicable California privacy laws.

This Privacy Policy describes how Amplify Partners ("Amplify," "we", “us” or "our") processes personal information that we collect through our digital or online properties or services that link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Service”)). Amplify may provide additional or supplemental privacy policies to individuals for specific services or engagement that we offer at the time we collect personal information, such as for job applicants.

Our websites are designed for companies, investors, and their representatives. We do not offer products or services for use by individuals for their personal, family or household purposes. Accordingly, we treat all personal information we collect as pertaining to individuals in their capacities as representatives of the relevant enterprise and not their individual capacities.

California resident privacy rights notice

This section applies to residents of California to the extent the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) applies to us and our Services  and  describes how we collect, use, and share Personal Information of California residents. Please note that we may not be able to process your request if you do not provide us with sufficient detail to allow us to confirm your identity or understand and respond to it.

For purposes of this section, the term “Personal Information” has the meaning given under the CCPA. In some cases, we may provide a different privacy notice to certain categories of individuals, such as job applicants, in which case that notice will apply instead of this section.

Your privacy rights. The CCPA provides residents with the rights listed below. However, these rights are not absolute.  Therefore, we may decline your request in certain cases as permitted by law, including where the CCPA does not apply to us or our Services. 

• Information. You can request the following information about how we have collected and used your Personal Information during the past 12 months:

• The categories of Personal Information that we have collected.
• The categories of sources from which we collected Personal Information.
• The business or commercial purpose for collecting and/or selling Personal Information.
• The categories of third parties with which we share Personal Information.
• The categories of Personal Information that we sold or disclosed for a business purpose.
• The categories of third parties to whom the Personal Information was sold or disclosed for a business purpose.

Exercising your right to information/know, access, correction, and deletion. You may submit requests to exercise your right to information/know, access, appeal, correction, or deletion at privacy@amplifypartners.com or calling us at (650) 445-0800.  

Sale or Sharing. We do not “sell” or “share” your Personal Information as such terms are defined by the CCPA.

Verification of Identity; Authorized agents. We may need to verify your identity in order to process your information/know, access, appeal, correction, or deletion requests and reserve the right to confirm your residency. To verify your identity, we may require government identification, a declaration under penalty of perjury, or other information, where permitted by law.  

Under the CCPA, you many enable an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf upon.  However, we may need to verify your authorized agent’s identity and authority to act on your behalf.  We may require a copy of a valid power of attorney given to your authorized agent pursuant to applicable law. If you have not provided your agent with such a power of attorney, we may ask you to take additional steps permitted by law to verify that your request is authorized, such as by providing your agent with written and signed permission to exercise your rights under the CCPA, to the extent applicable, on your behalf, the information we request to verify your identity, and confirmation that you have given the authorized agent permission to submit the request. 

Personal information that we collect, use and disclose. We have summarized the Personal Information we collect by reference below to both the categories defined in the “Personal information we collect” section of this Policy above and the categories of Personal Information specified in the CCPA (Cal. Civ. Code §1798.140) and describes our practices currently and during the 12 months preceding the effective date of this Privacy Policy. Information you voluntarily provide to us, such as in free-form webforms, may contain other categories of personal information not described below.
