Our Commitment to Privacy
At Poliwogg, our most important assets are our relationships with our issuers and our investors.
We are required by law to ask for certain non-public personal information (“NPI”) in order to perform our services for you, but we are committed to protecting your NPI. This Privacy Policy tries to answer some of the most commonly asked questions about the information we collect, how it’s used and how it’s protected. It also describes the choices available to you regarding our use of your NPI and how you can access and update this information.
Our Policy
Welcome to the web site www.Poliwogg.com (the "Site"), which is owned and operated by Poliwogg Holdings, Inc. (Henceforward "Poliwogg," "we," "us," and/or "our"). This Site has been created to provide information about Poliwogg and capital-raising services (the "Services") to all users of the Site or Service, including companies and entrepreneurs ("Issuers") and Accredited Investors, as defined by SEC Regulation D Rule 501 ("Investors"), who use the Site or Service provided by Poliwogg (in each case, a "User"). This Privacy Policy sets forth Poliwogg's policy with respect to information, including NPI, and other information that is collected from Site visitors and users of the Services.
Information We Collect
When you interact with us through the Site or the Services, we may collect NPI and other information from you, as further described below:
NPI That You Provide Through the Site: We collect NPI from you when you voluntarily provide such information such as when you register for access to the Services (for example, contact information such as your name, email address, and mailing address); and when you wish to use certain Services (for example financial information such as bank account numbers, your Date of Birth and last 4 digits of your social security number). Contact us with inquiries or respond to one of our surveys. By voluntarily providing us with NPI, you are consenting to our use of it in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you provide NPI, you acknowledge and agree that such NPI may be transferred from your current location to the offices and servers of Poliwogg and the authorized third parties referred to herein located in the United States.
Non-Identifiable or Aggregated Data: When you interact with Poliwogg through the Site or Services, we receive and store certain non-identifiable information about you. Such information, which may be collected passively using various technologies or through other means, cannot be used to specifically identify you.
As is true of most web sites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data. Poliwogg may store such information itself or such information may be included in databases owned and maintained by Poliwogg affiliates, agents or service providers. This Site may use such information and pool it with other information to track, for example, the total number of visitors to our Site, the number of visitors to each page of our Site, the domain names of our visitors' Internet service providers, and how our users use and interact with the Services. Also, in an ongoing effort to better understand and serve the users of the Services, Poliwogg often conducts research on its customer demographics, interests and behavior based on the NPI and other information provided to Poliwogg by Issuers and Users.
This research may be compiled and analyzed on an aggregate basis. Poliwogg may share this non-identifiable and aggregate data with its affiliates, agents and business partners, but this type of non-identifiable and aggregate information does not identify you personally. Poliwogg may also disclose aggregated user statistics in order to describe our Services to current and prospective business partners and to other third parties for other lawful purposes.
In operating this Site, we may also use a technology called "cookies." A cookie is a piece of information that the computer that hosts our Site gives to your browser when you access the Site.

For instance, our Site may set a cookie on your browser that allows you to access the Site without needing to remember and then enter a password more than once during a visit to the Site. In all cases in which we use cookies, we will not collect NPI except with your permission. On most web browsers, you will find a "help" section on the toolbar. Please refer to this section for information on how to receive notification when you are receiving a new cookie and how to turn cookies off. We recommend that you leave cookies turned on because they allow you to take advantage of some of the Site's features.
