Thank you for visiting the website of Launch Career Services, LLC, and its affiliates (together, “Launch”, “we,” or “us”). An important part of our commitment to you is our respect for your privacy as a user of this website (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy seeks to help you understand whether and how we collect information about you when you visit the Site, and how we use such information. Your visit to the Site is subject to this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use. By visiting the Site, you agree to this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use, which we may update at any time without advance notice. If we update our Privacy Policy, we will post the updated Privacy Policy here. Any such changes will be effective upon posting. You should consult the “Privacy Policy” link on this Site each time you visit the Site. If you do not agree with it, you should not use the Site.
This Privacy Policy concerns only this Site and does not concern any website to which this Site may link. Should you choose to visit these third-party sites, you should review their privacy policies to ensure that you understand and are comfortable with their practices concerning your personally identifiable information. Similarly, this Privacy Policy does not concern your interaction with Launch in any matter other than your use of the Site.
If you have any questions or comments about this Privacy Policy, e-mail us at info@launchsvc.com with the subject line “Launch Inquiry”.
1. The Types of Information We Collect About You
When you enter and browse the Site, we may collect two different types of information about you: information you provide to us, and information we collect through technology.
Information You Provide to UsIn order to obtain access to certain information or materials provided via the Site, you may have to provide information that we collect and store in a way that allows us to relate it to you personally, including but not limited to your name, e-mail address, mailing address, physical address, phone number, and other data as we may require from time to time. We refer to such information as personally identifiable information. Additionally, we may collect and retain a record of all communications with you.
Information We Collect Through TechnologyWe may collect information about you through technology. For example, we may collect your IP address
each time you request a page during a visit to the Site. (An IP address is often associated with the portal
through which you enter the Internet.) At times, we may also use IP addresses to collect information
regarding the frequency with which users browse various parts of the Site.
The Site may also use other technical methods to track and analyze the traffic patterns on the Site, such as
the frequency with which our users visit various parts of the Site. These technical methods may involve the
transmission of information either directly to us or to another party authorized by us to collect information
on our behalf. We may also use these technical methods in HTML e-mails that we send our Site users to
determine whether such users have opened those e-mails and/or clicked on links in those e-mails. We may
collect the information from the use of these technical methods in a form that is personally identifiable.
During some visits, we may use various software tools to measure and collect session information, including
page response times, download errors, length of visits to certain pages, page interaction information (such
as scrolling, clicks, and mouse overs), and methods used to browse away from the page. We may use this
information to measure Site activity, develop ideas for improving our websites, and perform any other
purpose to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Cookies are small text files that may be placed on your hard drive when you visit our website. Cookies are
used primarily for administrative purposes to improve your experience with our website. For instance, when
you return to the Site after logging in, cookies provide information to the Site, including personal
information, so that the Site will remember who you are. This website may use cookies primarily to capture
anonymous analytics to improve our web site experience and performance. This includes compiling
statistical information concerning, among other things, the frequency of use of our site, the pages visited,
and the length of each visit, as well as information about your computer, operating system, browser,
language, and country. We do not use cookies to store any personal information that could be read or
understood by others.
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 Internet browser Help menu to
learn the correct way to modify your cookies. If you turn off cookies, you may not have access to many
features that make browsing our Site smoother, and some of our services may not function properly. You
may at any time delete any cookies set by using the relevant option of your Internet browser or by deleting
the cookies on your hard drive. If you continue without changing your settings, we’ll assume that you accept
receipt of all cookies on the Launch website.
2. Our Use of Your Personally Identifiable Information
Launch does not disclose any nonpublic personally identifiable information about its Site users to any nonaffiliated third party except as set forth below. We may use or disclose certain personally identifiable
information we collect about you when you visit and browse the Site as part of our normal business
operations, or to send you administrative communications either about your interactions with us or about
features of the Site, including any future changes to this Privacy Policy.
We may also store your personally identifiable information and share it with our affiliates. We may use or
disclose this information for marketing, research, and other business purposes, and we may associate your
personally identifiable information with other information we collect about you, such as details about your
usage patterns and interests, but we will not sell this information or disclose it to third parties. We may also
use service providers to facilitate our services or platform functions on our behalf. These companies and
individuals may have access to your personally identifiable information, as needed to perform their
functions, but are contractually obligated not to use it for any other purpose.
We will use or disclose personally identifiable information when we believe that such disclosures are
required by law, regulation, legal process, subpoena, document request, or governmental request. For
example, it may be necessary, under anti-money laundering and similar laws, to disclose information about
investors in order to accept subscriptions from them. We may also do so to help enforce our Terms of Use,
protect your safety or security, including the safety and security of property that belongs to you, or protect
the safety and security of our websites, databases, or third parties, including the safety and security of tangible or intangible property that belongs to us or to third parties. Also, in the event that Launch, or
substantially all of the assets of Launch or one or more of its businesses, are acquired or merged with another
entity, whether an affiliate or a third party, user information may be one of the transferred assets. We may
transfer all user information (which may include personally identifiable information) to our acquirers or
successors. Launch reserves the right to use any personally identifiable information in any manner permitted
by law.
3. How We Use Your Non-Personally Identifiable Information
Non-personally identifiable information is information that does not personally identify you, including anonymous information and aggregate data. We may use this information to better understand how our visitors use the Site, research our visitors’ demographics, interests, and behavior, improve the Site, provide visitors with customized services and information, and other similar purposes. We may combine this information with personally identifiable information. We may share this information with others, such as investors, for information or promotional purposes, and may use this information in any manner permitted by law, but any disclosure that identifies you personally will be governed by Section 2.
4. Protection of Information
We endeavor to protect your personally identifiable information. We use technical, administrative, and physical methods to maintain the integrity and security of our databases, including firewalls. Please be aware, though, that there is no such thing as “perfect security” on the Internet, and third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications. We will not be responsible or liable for any damages, losses, or causes of action arising out of or in connection with the disclosure of your personally identifiable information.
5. Do Not Track
Launch does not track its customers over time and across third-party websites, and therefore does not respond to Do Not Track (“DNT”) signals. However, some third-party sites do keep track of your browsing activities when they serve you content, which enables them to tailor what they present to you. If you visit such sites, your browser allows you to set the DNT signal so that third parties (particularly advertisers) know you do not want to be tracked. You should consult the help pages of your browser to learn how to set your preferences so that websites do not track you.
6. Children
Although this Site is not targeted toward children, we are concerned about the safety and privacy of children who use the Internet. If we become aware that a child under 16 has provided personally identifiable information to us through the Site, we will take steps to delete such information from our databases as soon as reasonably practicable, consistent with applicable law and this Privacy Policy.
7. International Use
Launch makes no claims that materials on the Site are appropriate or may be downloaded for use in locations outside the United States. Access to the Site from countries or territories where such access is illegal is prohibited. Furthermore, our databases are located in the United States. If you access this website from outside the United States, you do so at your own risk. By sending us your data, you consent to its transfer to and storage within the United States. Those who access the Site from outside the United States do so on their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws, rules, and regulations.
8. Limitation of Liability
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL LAUNCH OR ITS RELATED PERSONS (AS DEFINED
BELOW) BE HELD LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIMS, LIABILITIES, LOSSES, COSTS OR DAMAGES,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL,

CONNECTION WITH ANY ACCESS, USE (OR INABILITY TO USE) OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE
SITE, INCLUDING DAMAGES CAUSED BY ANY FAILURE OF PERFORMANCE, ERROR,
OMISSION, INTERRUPTION, DELETION, DEFECT, DELAY IN OPERATION OR TRANSMISSION,

TRUE EVEN IF LAUNCH HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR
LOSSES.
Launch its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, managers, partners, members, shareholders,

title, non-infringement, availability, security, accuracy, freedom from viruses or malware, completeness,
timeliness, functionality, reliability, sequencing or speed of delivery.
While we use reasonable efforts to obtain information from reliable sources, Launch does not warrant that
the information on this Site is accurate, reliable, complete, or correct, that this Site will be available at any
particular time or location. Such information or materials are provided “as is” and “as available”. Please be
aware that there is no such thing as “perfect security” on the Internet, and third parties may unlawfully
intercept or access transmissions or private communications, and accordingly, electronic mail and other
transmissions to and from the Site or made via the Site may not be secure.
9. Disclaimers
This website is primarily for informational purposes and should not be construed as an offer or a contractual agreement. Launch does not purport to, and does not, in any fashion, provide tax, legal, investment, accounting, or broker/dealer advice or any related services. In no event will Launch be liable for any errors or omissions in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise, in respect of any damage, expense, or other loss you may suffer arising out of any reliance you may have placed upon Launch, its agents or employees. Launch will not treat users of this website as its partners, clients, customers, or investors by virtue of their accessing the website. Past performance is no guarantee of future returns.
