Important Disclosures

CincyTech is a venture capital firm that invests in innovative founders tackling the world's complex challenges. Since inception through Fund I, Follow-on Fund I, Fund II, Fund III, Fund IV and Fund 4+ ( the “Initial Funds”) were advised through CincyTech, LLC. CincyTech, LLC is an SEC Exempt Reporting Advisor. Fund V and Fund VI (the “Current Funds”), are advised by Cincinnati Cornerstone Capital, LLC (dba CincyTech), which is also an SEC Exempt Reporting Advisor.

CincyTech’s website (https://www.cincytechusa.com, referred to herein as the "Website") is limited to the dissemination of general information pertaining to its advisory services, together with access to additional investment-related information, publications, links, email newsletters, associated content distribution platforms, podcasts and public CincyTech social media accounts (collectively, the “Services”). Accordingly, the publication of the Website on the Internet should not be construed by any client and/or prospective client as CincyTech’s solicitation to effect, or attempt to effect, transactions in securities, or the rendering of personalized investment advice for compensation, over the Internet. Any subsequent, direct communication by CincyTech with a prospective client will be conducted by a representative that is either registered or qualifies for an exemption or exclusion from registration in the state where the prospective client resides.

CincyTech does not make any representations or warranties as to the accuracy, timeliness, suitability, completeness, or relevance of any information prepared by any unaffiliated third party, whether linked to the Website or through other Services or incorporated herein, and takes no responsibility therefor. All such information is provided solely for convenience purposes only and all users thereof should be guided accordingly.

Views expressed in “posts” (including podcasts, videos, and social media) are those of the individual CincyTech personnel quoted therein and are not necessarily the views of CincyTech or its respective affiliates.

Certain portions of the Services may contain a discussion of, and/or provide access to, CincyTech’s (and those of other investment and non-investment professionals) positions and/or opinions as of a specific prior date. Due to various factors, including changing market conditions, such discussion may no longer be reflective of current positions and/or opinions. Moreover, no client or prospective client should assume that any such discussion serves as the receipt of, or a substitute for, personalized advice from CincyTech, or from any other investment professional. CincyTech is neither an attorney nor an accountant, and no portion of the Services content should be interpreted as legal, accounting or tax advice. You should consult your own advisers as to legal, business, tax, and other related matters concerning any investment.

Each client and prospective client agrees, as a condition precedent to his/her/its access to the Services, to release and hold harmless CincyTech, its officers, directors, owners, employees and agents from any and all adverse consequences resulting from any of his/her/its actions and/or omissions which are independent of his/her/its receipt of personalized individual advice from CincyTech.

Reasons We Can Share Your Personal Data

• For our everyday business purposes – such as to process your transactions, maintain your account(s), respond to court orders and legal investigations, or report to credit bureaus.
• For our marketing purposes – to offer our products and services to you.
• For our affiliates’ everyday business purposes – information about your transactions and experiences and information about your creditworthiness.

CincyTech does not share for:

• Joint marketing with other financial companies.
• For nonaffiliates to market you.

Why Can’t I Limit All Sharing?

Federal law gives you the right to limit only:  sharing for affiliates’ everyday business purposes – information about your creditworthiness; affiliates from using your information to market you; sharing for nonaffiliates to market to you.  State laws and individual companies may give you additional rights to limit sharing.

Data Security and Retention

Data from unauthorized access, use and disclosure using appropriate physical, technical, organizational and administrative security measures based on the type of Personal Data and how we are processing that data. You should also help protect your data by appropriately selecting and protecting your password and/or another sign-on mechanism; limiting access to your computer or device and browser; and signing off after you have finished accessing your account. Although we work to protect the security of your account and other data that we hold in our records, please be aware that no method of transmitting data over the Internet or storing data is completely secure. We cannot guarantee the complete security of any data you share with us, and except as expressly required by law, we are not responsible for the theft, destruction, loss or inadvertent disclosure of your information or content.

We retain Personal Data about you for as long as we have a business purpose to do so. In some cases, we retain Personal Data for longer, if doing so is necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes or collect fees owed, or is otherwise permitted or required by applicable law, rule or regulation. We may further retain information in an anonymous or aggregated form where that information would not identify you personally.
