Privacy Policy


Last updated: March 8, 2024

This Privacy Policy applies to the websites, emails, and other communications, electronic or otherwise of CTI III, LLC dba Corporate Tax Incentives (“CTI”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, and/or “our” for the limited purpose of this Privacy Policy as the context may require). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it through our compliance with this policy.

This policy describes the types of data that we may collect from you or that you may provide when you visit our website at www.ctillc.com or use our Tax Incentive Platform available through the website or otherwise directly or through the use of an appointed representative (collectively, “Our Sites”), our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting and disclosing that information, and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used by us.

Purpose

This purpose of this Privacy Policy is to give you information on how CTI collects, processes, and maintains your data through your use of applications and services offered by CTI. As the holders of your data, we advise that you read this Privacy Policy so that you are fully aware of how and why we are using your data.

Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally. We will email you for changes we think are important to you. The current version of this Privacy Policy will always be located on our website and app, and the date the policy was updated will appear at the top of the policy.

Changes

Personal data or personal information means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified or that is linked to information that identifies a specific individual. We may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal data, which we have grouped together as follows:

  • Identity Data includes first name, maiden name, last name, username or similar identifier, title, date of birth, and gender.
  • Contact Data includes billing address, email address, telephone, mobile numbers, and other contact information.
  • Financial Data includes payroll information, as well as bank account information, credit card information, and other payment instrument information.
  • Profile Data includes username and password, your purchases or orders, your interests, preferences, feedback, and survey responses.
  • Usage Data includes information about how you use our applications and services.

We also collect, use, and share data that we aggregate that is not personally identifiable, such as statistical or demographic data, for any purpose. Aggregated data could be derived from your personal data but is not legally considered personal data as it will not directly or indirectly reveal your identity in this aggregated form. But if we combine or connect such aggregated data with your personal data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as personal data, which will be used in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We do not collect any special categories of personal data (this includes details about race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, information about your health, and genetic and biometric data). Nor do we collect any information about criminal convictions and offenses.
