Privacy Policy

Evanston Capital Management, LLC (“ECM”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is committed to protecting the privacy of personally identifiable information (“PII”) of identifiable individuals who visit our website at https://www.evanstoncap.com (the “Site”) and inquire about or use services associated with our business available through our Site (the “Services”), or express interest in our business. The privacy of your PII is important to us. This Privacy Policy discloses the privacy practices for ECM and for its Site, including the type of PII collected and tracked, how the information is used, and with whom the information is shared.

In order to provide you with Services you may request, it is necessary for us to possess some PII of yours. Similarly, without some of that information, we cannot inform you about the Services we have available or that you may request (though if you are currently receiving marketing communications from us, you may opt-out of receiving further communications at any time). This Privacy Policy explains our PII policies and practices. It includes, but is not limited to, explanations of the types of PII we may collect about you, the purposes for collecting such information, the circumstances under which we may disclose such information to third parties, the measures we take to secure the confidentiality of such information, your rights regarding your PII, and the way to contact us to exercise those rights.

Amendments to this Privacy Policy will be posted to the Site and will be effective when posted. Your continued use of the Services following the posting of any amendment to the Privacy Policy shall constitute your acceptance of such amendments.

Defining Personally Identifiable Information

Various laws and regulations use different terms and definitions for information about individuals that is personal and should be protected. Some laws and regulations consider only very limited types of information to be protected and private. Others include much broader categories.

At ECM, we have chosen to adopt the broader approach to what information must be protected and kept as private as possible. In this notice, “Personally Identifiable Information” (PII) refers to data that could be used, alone or in combination with other data, to identify you as an individual. It can include name, physical address, email address, IP address, date of birth, social security number, passwords, financial or payment information, and more.

This Site is not intended or designed to be used by children under the age of 13. We do not collect PII from any person we know to be under the age of 13 and instruct children under 13 not to send us any information.

The California Consumer Privacy Act and Your Personal Data Rights

The California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) requires us to make certain additional disclosures and provides California residents with the ability to request additional information about their PII. If you are a California resident and it is determined that the CCPA applies to you, this section details those rights, how you may exercise them, and what ECM will do in response.

Please note that the rights under the CCPA do not apply to PII collected, processed, sold or disclosed pursuant to Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (Public Law 106-102) and Fair Credit Reporting Act (12 CFR 1022).

If you are an individual who resides in California and whose personal data is collected and processed by ECM, you may have the right to:

• Request that we disclose, free of charge, the categories and specifics of the PII we collect about California residents (and/or, if applicable, sell or otherwise disclose to a third party for business purposes).
• Choose to opt-out of the sale of personal information. Currently, however, ECM does not sell personal information.
• Request that we delete the PII we have collected. Following our verification of the request, we will comply with the request and delete any or all the PII in our possession that we collected from the California resident and/or any or all such PII in the possession of our service providers, unless otherwise restricted by law or regulation.

Non-Discrimination for Exercising Your PII Rights.

We follow the requirements of California Civil Code §1798.125, and will not discriminate against any consumer who exercises the rights under the CCPA.
