How We Protect Personal Information.

We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect personal information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.  We have implemented appropriate safeguards intended to ensure that our third-party service providers protect personal information that they Process on our behalf.

Although we take precautions intended to help protect information that we Process, no system or electronic data transmission is completely secure. Any electronic transmission of your information is at your own risk and we expect that you will use appropriate security measures to protect your personal information. In particular, email sent to us may not be secure and you should therefore take special care in deciding what information you send to us via email. We may suspend your use of our website without notice if we suspect or detect any breach of security.

Our Use of Cookies and Other Data Collection Technology.

Our website may from time to time use cookies, pixel tags (also known as web beacons, flash cookies, clear GIFs or web bugs) and similar technology. A cookie is a small data file that contains a unique identification number that a website stores on your computer when you visit such website. The cookie stores information about your computer, the type of browser you use and how many times your computer visits a certain website. To learn more about cookies generally, visit https://www.allaboutcookies.org/.

Cookies enable Hall Capital to track how often you and other users visit our website and the specific pages visited and other user actions. You can refuse to use cookies by turning them off in your browser. You do not need to have cookies turned on to use our website. You may, however, find that some areas of the website (such as our Investor Portal) do not function properly if cookies are disabled.

A pixel tag is computer code that contains a unique identifier that enables us to monitor user activity and traffic on the website. We may use pixel tags to gather aggregate information on visits to the website and assist with other features.

We also use Google Analytics, which is a Google service that collects aggregate information about use of our website and reports website trends. Google Analytics does not directly identify individual clients or other users. You can learn about Google’s practices here.

Our Policy on “Do Not Track” Signals: Some web browsers (including Safari, Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome) incorporate a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) or similar feature that signals to websites that a client or other user does not want to have his or her online activity and behavior tracked. If a website that responds to a particular DNT signal receives the DNT signal, the browser can block that website from collecting certain personal information about the browser’s user. Not all browsers offer a DNT option and DNT signals are not yet uniform. For this reason, Hall Capital, like many other website operators, does not respond to DNT signals.

Links to Other Websites and Services.

Our website may include links to third-party webpages and services that are not operated by us. When you click on these links, you will be directed away from our website. A link to a third-party webpage or service does not mean that we endorse it or the quality or accuracy of information presented on it. If you decide to visit a third-party webpage or service, you are subject to its privacy practices and policies, not ours. This Privacy Policy does not apply to any personal information that you provide to third party webpages or services.

This section applies to residents of California whose personal information is subject to the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (the “CPRA”). If you are not a resident of California, the rights described in this section do not apply to you.

Not all of the personal information we collect about certain California residents is subject to the CPRA, because personal information collected, Processed, sold or disclosed pursuant to the GLBA is fully exempt from the CPRA. If you are a current, former or prospective client or an investor in a private fund managed by us, please see the applicable Privacy Notice available here.

We may collect the following categories of personal information: (1) identifiers (for example, your name, postal address, unique personal identifiers and e-mail address; (2) internet usage information (for example, when you browse our website or otherwise interact with us online, we may collect information regarding such interaction); and (3) personal information categories listed in Cal.

We may retain each category of personal information described above as necessary for our legitimate business purposes. The criteria used to determine our retention periods generally include: the length of time we have an ongoing relationship with you; whether there is a legal obligation to which we are subject (for example, certain laws require us to keep records of your transactions for a certain period of time before we can delete them); and whether retention is advisable considering our legal position (such as, for statutes of limitations, litigation or regulatory investigations).

We do not “sell” your personal information to, or “share” your personal information with, third parties (as those terms are defined by the CCPA). Below is a summary of the categories of personal information that we may have disclosed for a business purpose in the previous 12 months and the categories of third parties to whom we disclosed it.

Nevada “consumers” have the right to instruct us not to “sell” “covered information” (as those terms are defined by Chapter 603A of the Nevada Revised Statutes). Although we do not currently sell covered information of Nevada consumers (as those terms are defined under that law), you may contact us as described in “Contact Us” above and provide your name, Nevada address, and email address to be verified and exercise your opt-out rights in the event we do sell covered information under that law in the future. If you change your email address or other contact information, contact us in the same manner to update your contact information to help facilitate your opt-out. Changing your contact information elsewhere (e.g., informational requests, account information, etc.) will not update your Nevada opt-out information and we will only use the information provided to our opt-out program for managing opt-outs.  It is your responsibility to keep your opt-out information current. If after opting-out you direct us to share you covered information with others, we will do so regardless of your prior opt-out.
