This Privacy Policy describes how we collect and process information from visitors of this Website (“Website”) as well as our premises and other communications with us such as email. If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, you should not use our Website or otherwise provide us with your information.

This Privacy Policy only applies to this Website and does not apply to any other website operated by a third party to which our Website may link (including the “Investor Login” portal that is accessible via our Website, which is governed by a separate privacy policy). We are not responsible for, and have no control over, the privacy policies or practices of those third-party websites. Links to third-party websites contained on our Website are provided as a courtesy and the inclusion of such links does not imply and endorsement, recommendation or approval of the linked website or its privacy policy. You are encouraged to review any privacy policy contained on the linked site in order to understand how your information is collected and processed. This Privacy Policy is part of our Terms of Use, which is available at www.tcv.com/terms-of-use/.

TCMI, Inc. and its affiliates will each be a controller of any personal data collected by us (we determine how and why personal data is processed). As used in this Privacy Policy, “personal data” means information from which it is possible to identify a natural person (an individual) or information from which any individual is so identifiable. In this Privacy Policy, the term “personal data” also refers to “personal information” and “personally identifiable information”.

What Information We Collect

We may collect and process the following personal data about you:

  • Identifiers such as name, postal address, email address, telephone number and other contact information;
  • Internet or other network activity and technical information: for example, browsing or search history, information regarding your interaction with sites and related applications, IP addresses and online identifiers such as cookies;
  • Mailing list data such as marketing and communications preferences and interests;
  • Audio, electronic, visual or similar information, including photographs and CCTV footage;
  • Physical access data relating to details of your visits to our offices;

  • Commercial information and financial information;
  • Professional information: for example, employment details, education information, occupational history or business relationships; and
  • Other information you provide, or which may be incidentally processed, when you contact us.

We may also collect personal data from other sources, such as other companies providing services to us. Some third-party sources may include publicly available sources of information.

How Information is Used

We utilize the aggregate Website usage information described above to better understand how visitors are utilizing our Website in order to enhance the Website experience.

We may use your personal data:

  • for our legitimate business interests such as to operate, manage, develop and promote our business, sites and premises, to monitor access to the Website and to protect our business from fraud, money laundering and other financial or business crimes, and to screen, identify and evaluation candidates for job positions, including conducting background checks;
  • to send you direct marketing in relation to our services and/or other activities such as events; and
  • to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations and bring and defend legal and/or regulatory claims.

In the regular course of business, we do not disclose any information collected from the publicly available areas of our Website to any parties outside of TCV other than service providers, professional advisors and affiliates. Personal data otherwise voluntarily provided by you (e.g., via email) may be disclosed to third parties, service providers, professional advisors and affiliates in order to facilitate our services and perform functions on our behalf.

Any information collected through our Website or that you otherwise provide to us may be disclosed to other recipients in connection with a court order, subpoena or government inquiry or similar request or proceeding or as otherwise required by law.

We may also disclose your personal data to applicable third parties in the event of a reorganization, merger, sale, acquisition, assignment, bankruptcy proceeding or other disposition of all or a portion of our business, assets or shares.

To the extent that we request personal data from you and you refuse to communicate that personal data to us, this may affect our ability to maintain a business relationship with you or to comply with our legal obligations.

Use of Cookies

Our Website uses “cookies” to facilitate your ongoing access to and use of our Website, and to help us in the ongoing maintenance of our Website. Cookies are small text files that may be placed on your browser when you visit our Website. For instance, when you return to the Website after logging in, cookies provide information to the Website, including personal information, so that the Website will remember who you are.

We use cookies primarily to capture anonymous analytics to improve our Website experience and performance, including by compiling statistical information concerning, among other things, the frequency of use of our Website, the pages visited and the length of each visit, as well as information about your computer, operating system, browser, language and country.

Using the settings of your Internet browser, you can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies. Consult your browser's HELP menu to learn your options with respect to cookies. If you choose to turn off cookies, you may not have access to many features that make your browsing of our Website smoother, and some of our services may not function properly. You may at any time delete any cookies by using the relevant option of your Internet browser or by deleting the cookies on your hard drive.

If you continue to use the Website with a browser set to accepting cookies, we will assume that you accept receipt of all cookies coming from the Website.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to collect information about your use of the Website. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit the Website, what pages users visit and what other websites they visited prior to or after coming to the Website. More information on how Google Analytics uses your data can be found at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. We use the information we get from Google Analytics only to improve the Website. By using the Website with your browser set to accepting cookies, you consent to Google Analytics' use of cookies on the Website.

Do Not Track

We do not track visitors of the Website over time and across third-party websites to provide targeted advertising and therefore do not respond to Do Not Track (“DNT”) signals. However, some third-party websites do keep track of your browsing activities through the use of cookies when they serve you content, which enables them to tailor what they present to you. If you are visiting such websites, your browser allows you to set the DNT signal so that third parties, particularly advertisers, know you do not want to be tracked. You may consult the HELP pages of your browser to learn how to set your preferences so that websites do not track you.

Security

We employ organizational, physical, technical and procedural safeguards that are designed to protect your personal information in our possession or under our control to the extent possible from unauthorized access and improper use. However, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be secure or hacker-proof. TCV cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you submit via the Website or otherwise, and you do so at your own risk. Please consider this when you choose to submit information to us via the Website or otherwise.

Governing Law

This Privacy Policy and the privacy practices of TCV are subject to the laws of the State of California within the United States of America, without regard to its conflict of law principles. You agree that your use of this Website and any disputes relating to the Website or this Privacy Policy shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of California. Any dispute relating to the above shall be brought solely in the state or federal courts located in Santa Clara County, California and it is agreed that such courts shall have jurisdiction over the parties to this Privacy Policy and any dispute arising hereunder. You agree to waive trial by jury in any such action. Use of this Website is unauthorized in any jurisdiction that does not give effect to all provisions of these terms and conditions, including without limitation this paragraph.

Visitors Residing Outside of the United States and Consent to Transfer

Visitors who use our Website and reside outside of the United States do so on their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent local laws are applicable. Please see information below regarding transfers of personal data if you are located in the European Economic Area (“EEA”) or the United Kingdom (“UK”). If you are located outside of the United States, please be aware that any information you provide to us will be transferred and processed in the United States, a jurisdiction in which the privacy laws may not be as comprehensive as those in the country where you reside or are a citizen.

Transfers of Personal Data Outside the EEA or the UK

If you are in the EEA or the UK and transfer your personal data to us directly, you will be transferring such data voluntarily and entirely at your own discretion to our offices in the United States. The United States does not have data protection and privacy laws that provide the same degree of protection as those in the EEA or the UK.

If we were to process your personal data in the context of an establishment in the EEA or the UK and transfer your personal data to a recipient outside of the EEA and/or the UK, we would only do so pursuant to a valid transfer mechanism such as:

  • an adequacy decision by the European Commission (or equivalent);
  • data transfer agreements and/or safeguards using terms approved by the European Commission (or equivalent); and/or
  • other valid transfer safeguards in accordance with applicable data privacy law.

For further information about such safeguards, please contact us using the information below.

How Long Do We Retain Personal Data?

Subject to applicable law, we retain your personal data (as the case may be) for as long as it is required for the purpose for which we collected it, or for such period as is required by or to allow us to comply with legal or regulatory obligations which apply to us.

Rights Under the GDPR

Where the EU General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (the “GDPR”), the UK GDPR (as such term is defined in the UK Data Protection Act 2018) and/or substantially similar law applies, you may be entitled to the following rights:

  • a right to know what personal data we process and a right of access to such personal data;

  • the right to object to our processing of your personal data;
  • the right to request we delete your personal data in certain circumstances, including where you believe that it is no longer necessary for us to hold your personal data, where we are processing your personal information on the basis of legitimate interests and cannot demonstrate an overriding legitimate ground for the processing, or where you believe the personal data we hold about you is being unlawfully processed by us;
  • the right to request we restrict processing of your personal data in certain circumstances—i.e., where you believe the personal data is inaccurate, and while we verify accuracy, where we want to erase your personal data as the processing is unlawful but you want us to continue to store it, where we no longer need your personal data for the purposes of our processing but you require us to retain it for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, or where you have objected to us processing your personal data based on our legitimate interests and we are considering your objection; and
  • a 'data portability' right to require us to transfer your personal data to you or to a third party in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.

We do not generally rely on your consent to process personal data, but to the extent we do and you no longer wish to provide such consent, you can contact us to let us know that you withdraw consent. This does not affect personal data processed prior to your withdrawal of consent.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint about our processing of your personal data with the relevant body regulating data protection in your country.
