Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 4, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how EquityCF Inc, doing business as EquityCF (“EquityCF,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), collects, uses, discloses, and protects personal information when you visit our website, create an account, submit a founder application, schedule a consultation, request information, subscribe to communications, or otherwise interact with our services.

This Privacy Policy applies to the EquityCF website, forms, accounts, communications, and related services collectively referred to as the “Services.”

It does not govern websites, platforms, or services operated independently by third parties, including Silicon Prairie Capital Partners, LLC. Those parties maintain their own privacy policies and practices.

1. Information We Collect

The information we collect depends on how you interact with EquityCF.

• appointment and scheduling information;
• communications, questions, and support requests;
• marketing and communication preferences; and
• any other information you choose to provide.

Founder and Company Information

When a founder or company submits an application, requests a consultation, or seeks assistance with a potential capital raise, we may collect:

• company legal name and website;
• business description and industry;
• formation state, formation year, and entity structure;

• Internet Protocol address;
• browser type and version;
• device type and operating system;
• referring and exit pages;
• pages viewed and features used;
• dates and times of visits;
• approximate geographic location derived from an Internet Protocol address;
• website interactions and performance information; and
• cookie, pixel, session, or similar technology identifiers.

We may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the website, maintain login sessions, remember preferences, understand website use, prevent fraud, and improve the Services.

Information Received from Third Parties

We may receive information from third parties when you interact with them in connection with EquityCF, including:

• publicly available sources.

The information we receive depends on your interaction with the third party and the permissions you provide.

2. Information We Do Not Intend to Collect Directly

EquityCF is not a broker-dealer or funding portal and does not independently process securities investments.

When you proceed to an investment or regulated offering process, Silicon Prairie or another registered intermediary and its service providers may separately collect information such as:

• Social Security or taxpayer-identification numbers;
• government-issued identification;
• bank-account or payment information;
• accreditation or investment-limit information;
• identity-verification information;
• anti-money-laundering information;
• investment orders and transaction records; and
• tax documentation.

That information is governed by the privacy policies and legal obligations of the registered intermediary and its applicable service providers.

You should not send this information to EquityCF unless we specifically request it through an authorized and secure process.

3. How We Use Personal Information

We may use personal information to:

• provide, operate, maintain, and improve the Services;

We may also use information for another purpose disclosed when the information is collected or with your consent.

We will not authorize a partner to represent that your company has been accepted for an offering unless that acceptance has actually occurred.

Legal and Safety Purposes

We may disclose information when we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to:

• protect the rights, property, safety, or security of EquityCF, our users, or others;
• detect or prevent fraud, misconduct, or security threats;
• enforce agreements and policies; or
• establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

Business Transactions

We may disclose or transfer information as part of a merger, financing, acquisition, restructuring, bankruptcy, sale of assets, or similar transaction. Where appropriate, we will require the recipient to handle the information consistently with this Privacy Policy and applicable law.

With Your Direction or Consent

We may disclose information when you request, direct, authorize, or consent to the disclosure.

5. Selling and Sharing Personal Information

EquityCF does not sell personal information for monetary payment.

We do not currently use or disclose personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

We may disclose personal information to service providers, regulated intermediaries, professional advisers, and other parties for the business purposes described in this Privacy Policy. Those operational disclosures are not intended as sales of personal information.

We will update this Privacy Policy and provide any legally required choices before materially changing these practices.

6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We and our service providers may use cookies, local storage, pixels, scripts, and similar technologies.

These technologies may be used to:

• operate essential website functions;
• keep users signed in;
• remember preferences;
• protect accounts and prevent abuse;
• measure traffic and website performance;
• understand how visitors interact with the Services; and
• improve content and user experience.

Your browser may allow you to block or delete cookies. Disabling essential cookies or local storage may prevent account login or other parts of the Services from working correctly.

7. Google Authentication

EquityCF may allow you to create or access an account using Google authentication.

When you use this feature, Google may provide us with information authorized through the sign-in process, such as your name, email address, profile image, and account identifier.

We use that information to authenticate your account and provide the Services. Google’s handling of your information is governed by its own privacy policy and account settings.

EquityCF does not receive your Google password.

8. Marketing Communications

When permitted by law, we may send you educational resources, news, offering updates, founder resources, or promotional communications.

You can unsubscribe from promotional emails by using the unsubscribe link included in those messages or by contacting us.

Even after you unsubscribe from promotional messages, we may continue sending necessary transactional or administrative communications, such as:

• account notices;
• security alerts;
• appointment confirmations;
• responses to your requests;
• application-status communications; and
• legally required notices.

9. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to:

• provide the Services;
• maintain business and transaction records;
• manage founder and user relationships;
• comply with legal, accounting, tax, regulatory, or contractual obligations;
• resolve disputes;
• prevent fraud and abuse; and
• enforce our agreements.

Retention periods may vary based on the type of information, how it is used, the sensitivity of the information, and applicable legal requirements.

When information is no longer reasonably necessary, we may delete it, deidentify it, or securely dispose of it.

Information held by Silicon Prairie or another independent third party is subject to that party’s retention requirements and privacy practices.

10. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information.

These safeguards may include access controls, authentication measures, restricted permissions, secure service providers, encryption in transit where supported, monitoring, and other security practices appropriate to the information we maintain.

No website, database, communication system, or method of electronic transmission is completely secure. We cannot guarantee that personal information will never be accessed, disclosed, altered, lost, or destroyed without authorization.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and account credentials. Please notify us promptly if you believe your account has been compromised.

11. Your Choices and Privacy Requests

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have the right to request that we:

• confirm whether we process your personal information;
• provide access to personal information we maintain about you;
• correct inaccurate personal information;
• delete certain personal information;
• provide a portable copy of certain information;
• explain the categories of information we collect and disclose;
• restrict or object to certain processing; or
• honor applicable rights concerning the sale or use of personal information for targeted advertising.

You may also:

• unsubscribe from promotional emails;
• adjust browser cookie settings;
• decline to provide optional information; and
• update certain account information through the Services.

To submit a privacy request, contact us using the information in the “Contact Us” section.

We may need to verify your identity before completing a request. We may deny or limit a request when permitted by law, including when information must be retained for security, legal, regulatory, contractual, recordkeeping, or fraud-prevention purposes.

Authorized agents may submit requests where permitted by law, but we may require proof of authorization and identity verification.

We will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising an applicable privacy right.

12. California Privacy Disclosures

California residents may have rights under California privacy laws.

During the preceding twelve months, EquityCF may have collected the following categories of personal information, as described more fully in this Privacy Policy:

• identifiers;

• Internet or electronic-network activity;
• professional or employment-related information;

Do Not Track

Some browsers transmit “Do Not Track” signals. There is not currently a universally accepted standard for responding to those signals, and the Services may not respond to them.

We will recognize browser-based opt-out preference signals when required by applicable law and when those signals apply to our data practices.

13. Information About Children

The Services are intended for adults and are not directed to children under 13.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected such information without legally valid authorization, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

The ability to invest in an offering may also be subject to age, capacity, account, and eligibility requirements imposed by the registered intermediary.

Parents or guardians who believe a child has provided personal information may contact us using the information below.

14. Third-Party Websites and Services

The Services may contain links to or integrations with websites and services operated by third parties.

These may include Silicon Prairie, authentication providers, scheduling providers, social-media platforms, document providers, accountants, attorneys, and other vendors.

We do not control the privacy, security, or data practices of independent third parties. You should review their privacy policies before providing information through their services.

A link to a third-party service does not necessarily mean that EquityCF endorses all of its practices.

15. International Users

When you access the Services from another country, your information may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in the United States or other jurisdictions where our providers operate.

Those jurisdictions may have data-protection laws that differ from the laws where you live.

16. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or Services.

When we update the policy, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of the page. We may provide additional notice of material changes when appropriate or legally required.

Your continued use of the Services after an updated policy becomes effective is subject to the revised policy.
