This Privacy Policy describes how Duration Capital Partners LLC (“Duration”, “we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses and discloses information about you when you use our website (www.durationcapitalpartners.com), applications, services, tools and features, or otherwise interact with us (collectively, the “Services”). For the purpose of this Privacy Policy, Duration is the data controller for your information, and “you” and “your” means you as the user of the Services. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By using any of the Services, you agree to the collection, use, and disclosure of your information as described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy, please do not use or access the Services.
If you are an investor with any account, investment fund or similar vehicle managed and/or advised by Duration, the data we collect about you in that capacity is subject to our Investor Privacy Notice, which will be made available to you separately.
We may modify this Privacy Policy, in which case we will update the “Last Revised” date. If we make material changes to the way we use information we collect, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify you and will take additional steps as required by applicable law. If you do not agree to any updates to this Privacy Policy, please do not use or access any of the Services.
When you use or access the Services, we collect certain information about you from different sources.

We may disclose your information for legitimate purposes subject to this Privacy Policy, including with:
We use Tracking Technologies to collect information about your browsing activities, including your browsing over time and across different websites following your use of our Services. Most browsers accept Tracking Technologies automatically, but you may be able to control the way in which your devices permit the use of Tracking Technologies. If you so choose, you may block or delete certain Tracking Technologies from your browser; however, blocking or deleting Tracking Technologies may cause some of the Services, including login features and general functionality, to work incorrectly.
Your browser settings may also allow you to transmit a “Do Not Track”, “opt-out preference” signal or other mechanism for exercising your choices regarding the collection of your information when you visit various websites. Like many websites, our website is not designed to respond to such signals and we do not use or disclose your information in any way that would legally require us to recognize opt-out preference signals. To learn more about “Do Not Track” signals, you can visit http://www.allaboutdnt.com/.
We may provide links to third-party websites or platforms, and display, or make available content, data, applications or materials from third parties. If you follow links to sites or platforms that we do not control and are not affiliated with us, you should review the applicable privacy notice, policies and other terms. We are not responsible for the privacy or security of, or information found on, these sites, or the accuracy, completeness or reliability of third-party materials. Information you provide on public or semi-public venues, such as third-party social networking platforms, may be viewable by other users of the Services and / or users of those third-party platforms without limitation as to its use. Our inclusion of such links does not, by itself, imply any endorsement of the content on such platforms or of their owners or operators.
Our Services are not intended for children, and we do not seek or knowingly collect any personal information from children. If we become aware that we have unknowingly collected information from a child, in particular children under 13 years of age, we will make commercially reasonable efforts to delete such information from our database. If you are the parent or guardian of a child who has provided us with their personal information, you may contact us using the below information to request that it be deleted.
Please note that any information you send to us electronically, while using the Services or otherwise interacting with us, may not be secure while in transit. We recommend that you do not use unsecure channels to send us sensitive or confidential information. Despite our reasonable efforts, no security measures are impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee “perfect security.”
We retain your information for as long as is reasonably necessary for the purposes specified in this Privacy Policy. When determining the length of time to retain information, we consider various criteria, including whether we need the information to continue to administer your account, provide the Services, resolve a dispute, enforce our contractual agreements, prevent harm, promote safety, security and integrity, or protect ourselves, including our rights, property or products.
