PRIVACY POLICY

Effective date: January 3, 2022


This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) applies to eShares, Inc. DBA Carta,
Inc.’s, and its related and/or affiliated companies’, including subsidiaries’
(“Company” or “Carta”) online tools and platform(s), including the associated
Carta mobile and desktop applications, www.carta.com and other Carta websites
(collectively, the “Services”) and other interactions (e.g., customer service
inquiries, user conferences) you may have with Carta. Except as otherwise
indicated, this Privacy Policy describes how Carta collects, uses, and shares
your personal information and your choices with respect to your personal
information.

CartaX users: For information about the collection, use and sharing of your
personal information in connection with the CartaX website at www.cartax.com or
the services it describes, see the Carta Capital Markets, LLC Privacy Policy.

California residents: Please see the important information in our Notice for
California Residents

Individuals in the European Economic Area, UK or Switzerland:  Please see our
Notice for European Users


WHAT WE COLLECT

We get information about you in a range of ways:

Information You Give Us

We may collect your‎ name, postal address, email address, phone number,
username, password, demographic information (such as your occupation), social
security number, tax ID number, bank account information, as well as other
information you directly give us on our Services, which may include marketing,
promotions and when communicating to you about new features.

For customers who have paid software services, we collect your billing details
such as credit card information, banking information, and/or billing address.

Information We Get From Others

We may get information about you from other sources, such as your employer when
they issue you options or shares. We may add this to information you provide us
through our Services.

Information Automatically Collected

Device Information

We may collect information about the devices accessing our Services. Some
examples are: type of device, operating system used, application information,
unique device identifiers and crash data. The type of information we collect
depends on the type of device used and its settings.

Transactional and Usage Information

We may automatically log information about you and your computer, subject to
your consent where required by law. For example, like most services when using
our Services, we log your computer operating system type, browser type, browser
language, pages or screens you viewed, how long you spent on a page or screen,
location (your IP address), access times and information about your use of and
actions on our Services. This is information we collect from every user of the
Services, whether they have an account or not. This information may include
personal information.

Cookies and Similar Technologies Information

As further described below, and subject to your consent where required by law,
we automatically collect information from cookies and similar technologies as
described in our Cookie Policy.


USE AND DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

We may use, process and/or disclose personal information for the following
purposes:

 * To operate, maintain, and improve the Services. This includes use of other
   information to support delivery of our services, assist with service
   requests, monitor for errors, remedy security or technical issues, analyze
   website and application performances.
 * To respond to comments and questions, verify permission access, and provide
   customer service.
 * To send information including confirmations, invoices and billing, technical
   notices, updates, security alerts, and administrative messages.
 * To communicate upcoming events and other news about products and services
   offered by us.
 * To communicate and inform you about system updates and important
   services-related notices, such as privacy and policy update notices or
   changes in our terms of service. These communications are administrative and
   you may not opt out of them.
 * To send marketing emails related to the Services, which you may opt out of
   using provided unsubscribe links or the opt-out mechanism in those
   communications.
 * To link or combine user information with other personal information. An
   example is when we combine the information a company has provided about their
   shareholders with the information entered by shareholders in their personal
   portfolios to improve the user experience.
 * To protect, investigate, and deter against fraudulent, unauthorized, or
   illegal activity, including, but not limited to, validating your identity and
   preventing fraud on your account, and complying with KYC rules and
   regulations.
 * To provide and deliver products and services to our business customers with
   respect to their employees or investors. An example is when an employee
   exercises their employee stock options and we provide a tax form to their
   employer to facilitate compliance with tax laws.
 * To facilitate online advertising. Third-party advertising companies and
   social media companies may use cookies and similar technologies to collect
   information about your interaction over time across the Services, our
   communications and other online services, and use that information to serve
   online ads that they think will interest you.

We may also use and disclose personal information as follows:

 * Our business customers’ equity administrators, authorized users and other
   designated representatives can access information that we hold about the
   equity information of their employees and investors.
 * To comply with laws, lawful requests and legal or regulatory processes.
 * To protect the rights, safety and property of Carta, our agents, users,
   customers, and others. This includes enforcing our agreements, policies, and
   terms of use, reporting on security breaches, or assisting with investigating
   and preventing fraud or security issues.
 * For instant verification of your bank account information with features
   you’re utilizing on Carta, we use Plaid Technologies, Inc. (“Plaid”) to
   gather customer data from financial institutions.  By using these features,
   you grant us and Plaid the right, power, and authority to act on your behalf
   to access and transmit your personal and financial information from the
   relevant financial institution. You agree to your personal and financial
   information being transferred, stored, and processed by Plaid in accordance
   with the Plaid Privacy Policy.

We may create, use and share aggregated or anonymized data for any lawful
purpose, such as marketing, analytics or research purposes permitted by law.

We may share personal information with acquirers and other relevant participants
in business transactions (or negotiations for such transactions) involving a
corporate divestiture, merger, consolidation, acquisition, reorganization, sale
or other disposition of all or any portion of the business or assets of, or
equity interests in, Carta (including, in connection with a bankruptcy or
similar proceedings).

We may share other information with third parties in other ways not described in
this Privacy Policy when we have consent (either from users or business
customers) to do so.

We may share personal information with third party companies or individuals that
we engage as service providers to process information and support our business
and services. Examples include providers of cloud hosting and storage services,
analytics, services, email delivery services and customer support services.

We may share personal information with our lawyers, accountants and other
professional advisors in the course of the services they render to us.





RETENTION

We generally retain personal information to fulfill the purposes for which we
collected it, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or
reporting requirements, to establish or defend legal claims, or for fraud
prevention purposes. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal
information, we may consider factors such as the amount, nature, and sensitivity
of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or
disclosure of your personal information, the purposes for which we process your
personal information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other
means, and the applicable legal requirements.

When we no longer require the personal information we have collected about you,
we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example,
because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we
will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further
processing until deletion is possible. If we anonymize your personal information
(so that it can no longer be associated with you), we may use this information
indefinitely without further notice to you.





AGE LIMITATIONS

Carta does not allow the use of our Services by anyone younger than 18 years
old. If you learn that anyone younger than 18 has unlawfully provided us with
personal data through the Services, please contact us and we will take steps to
delete such information.





INFORMATION CHOICES AND CHANGES

Our marketing emails tell you how to “opt out.” If you opt out, we may still
send you non-marketing emails. Non-marketing emails include emails about your
accounts and our business dealings with you. If at any time you would like to
change your communication preferences, we provide unsubscribe links and an
opt-out mechanism in those communications for your convenience.

You may send requests about personal information to our Contact Information
below. You can request to change contact choices, opt out of our sharing with
others, and update your personal information.

You can typically remove and reject cookies from our website with your browser
settings. Many browsers are set to accept cookies until you change your
settings. If you remove or reject our cookies, it may affect how our website
works for you. See our Cookie Policy for more information about your choices
regarding cookies.

You can update or correct certain personal information in your Carta account. If
you are unable to do so on your own, the information is likely controlled by the
security issuer and you should contact the security issuer directly to update
your information.





DO NOT TRACK

Some Internet browsers may be configured to send “Do Not Track” signals to the
online services that you visit. We currently do not respond to “Do Not Track” or
similar signals. To find out more about “Do Not Track,” please visit
https://www.allaboutdnt.com.





PRIVACY SHIELD STATEMENT

Carta complies with the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework and Swiss-U.S. Privacy
Shield Framework as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the
collection, use, and retention of personal information transferred from the
European Union and Switzerland to the United States. Carta has certified to the
Department of Commerce that it adheres to the Privacy Shield Principles. If
there is any conflict between the terms in this privacy policy and the Privacy
Shield Principles, the Privacy Shield Principles shall govern. To learn more
about the Privacy Shield program, and to view our certification, please visit
https://www.privacyshield.gov/.

The following Carta subsidiaries also adhere to the Privacy Shield Principles:
Carta Securities LLC, Carta Valuations LLC, Carta Investor Services, Inc., Carta
Financial Technologies, LLC and Carta Capital Markets LLC.

However, neither Carta nor its subsidiaries rely on the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield
Framework as a legal basis for transfers of personal data from the European
Union in light of the judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union in
Case C-311/18.

Carta is responsible for the processing of personal data we receive, and
subsequently transfers to a third party acting as an agent on our behalf.

Carta commits to cooperate with EU data protection authorities and the Swiss
Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner and comply with the advice
given by such authorities with regard to human resources data transferred from
the EU and Switzerland in the context of the employment relationship.

Carta is subject to the regulatory enforcement powers of the U.S. Federal Trade
Commission. In certain situations, Carta may be required to disclose personal
data in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet
national security or law enforcement requirements.

For inquiries or complaints regarding this Privacy Policy please first contact
Carta at privacy@carta.com. Please allow a reasonable amount of time to respond
to your request. If you do not receive timely acknowledgement of your complaint,
if your complaint is not satisfactorily addressed by Carta, or if you have an
unresolved privacy or data use concern that we have not addressed
satisfactorily, please contact our U.S.-based third party dispute resolution
provider (free of charge) at https://feedback-form.truste.com/watchdog/request.

If these processes do not result in a resolution, you may then contact your
local data protection authority, the U.S. Department of Commerce, and/or the
Federal Trade Commission for assistance.

Under certain circumstances a binding arbitration option is available to you to
determine, for residual claims, whether Carta has violated its obligations to
you under the Privacy Shield Principles, and whether any such violation remains
fully or partially unremedied. This option is available only for these purposes.
Please be advised that the arbitrator(s) may only impose individual-specific,
non-monetary, equitable relief necessary to remedy any violation of the Privacy
Shield Principles with respect to the resident.

Carta may transfer your Personal Data to countries other than the one in which
you live.

right to withdraw it any time in the manner indicated when you consent or in the
Services.

Use for new purposes. We may use your personal information for reasons not
described in this Privacy Policy where permitted by law and the reason is
compatible with the purpose for which we collected it. If we need to use your
personal information for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and provide
the applicable legal basis.

Sensitive personal information. We ask that you not provide us with any
sensitive personal information (e.g., information related to racial or ethnic
origin, political opinions, religion or other beliefs, health, biometrics or
genetic characteristics, criminal background or trade union membership) on or
through the Services, or otherwise to us.

If you provide us with any sensitive personal information to us when you use the
Services, you must consent to our processing and use of such sensitive personal
information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you do not consent to our
processing and use of such sensitive personal information, you must not submit
such sensitive personal information through our Services.

Your rights. You have the following rights in relation to the personal
information we hold about you:

   reasonable fee.
 * Right to rectification: If the personal information we hold about you is
   inaccurate or incomplete, you are entitled to request to have it rectified.
 * Right to erasure: You can ask us to delete or remove your personal
   information in some circumstances such as where we no longer need it or if
   you withdraw your consent to our processing of your personal information
   (where applicable).
 * Right to restrict processing: You can ask us to “block” or suppress the
   processing of your personal information in certain circumstances, such as
   where you contest the accuracy of that personal information.
 * Right to data portability: You have the right, in certain circumstances, to
   obtain personal information you have provided us with (in a structured,
   commonly used and machine readable format) and to reuse it elsewhere or to
   ask us to transfer this to a third party of your choice.
 * Right to object: You can ask us to stop processing your personal information,
   and we will do so, if we are:

 * * relying on our own or someone else’s legitimate interests to process your
     personal information, unless we can demonstrate compelling legal grounds

   concern about any aspect of our privacy practices, including the way we have
   handled your personal information, you can report it to the relevant
   Supervisory Authority. You can find your data protection regulator here.

You may submit these requests here or email privacy@carta.com or to our postal
address provided above. We may request specific information from you to help us
confirm your identity and process your request. Applicable law may require or
permit us to decline your request. If we decline your request, we will tell you
why, subject to legal restrictions.

Cross-border data transfer. If we transfer your personal information out of
Europe to a country not deemed to provide an adequate level of personal
information protection for purposes of applicable data protection laws such that
additional safeguards are required, the transfer will be performed:

 * pursuant to the recipient’s compliance with Standard Contractual Clauses;
 * pursuant to the consent of the individual to whom the personal information
   pertains; or
 * as otherwise permitted by applicable laws.

You may contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism
used by us when transferring your personal information out of Europe.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time. If we make
material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will notify you by updating the date

will also provide notification of changes in another way that we believe is
reasonably likely to reach you, such as via email or another manner through the
Services.  Any modifications to this Privacy Policy will be effective upon our
posting the modified version (or as otherwise indicated at the time of posting).
In all cases, your use of the Services after the effective date of any modified
Privacy Policy indicates your acceptance of the modified Privacy Policy.

provider (free of charge) at https://feedback-form.truste.com/watchdog/request.

If these processes do not result in a resolution, you may then contact your
local data protection authority, the U.S. Department of Commerce, and/or the
Federal Trade Commission for assistance.

Under certain circumstances an binding arbitration option is available to you to
determine, for residual claims, whether Carta has violated its obligations to
you under the Privacy Shield Principles, and whether any such violation remains
fully or partially unremedied.  This option is available only for these
purposes. Please be advised that the arbitrator(s) may only impose
individual-specific, non-monetary, equitable relief necessary to remedy any
violation of the Privacy Shield Principles with respect to the resident.

Carta may transfer your Personal Data to countries other than the one in which
you live.
