Legally Required Information Disclosure
Zanbato, Inc. and its affiliates (“Zanbato”) provide services which help users engage in private securities transactions efficiently, securely, and lawfully. Our services mainly process information concerning legal entities—but to ensure business is done properly, we’ll also have to handle information about natural persons like yourself. To that end, personal information collected by Zanbato is used solely for providing the service for which the Client (“you”) has engaged Zanbato.
This Privacy Policy covers Zanbato services provided through zanbato.com and the Zanbato mobile application. It describes how Zanbato collects, uses, shares and secures the personal information you provide. It also describes your choices regarding use, access and correction of your personal information.
Regardless of whether or not you’re signed into Zanbato, we collect basic information associated with your browsing session, such as your IP address, browser type, and preferred language, in order to effectively display the site for you. We also use cookies provided by Google Analytics solely to track your browsing session’s movement within zanbato.com. (For more information about what cookies are and how you can control them, check out the section below titled “Cookies and Tracking Technology.” For more information about how Google uses and processes Google Analytics data, see www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners.)
We use this data to identify usage patterns and improve our site’s design. In this context, your IP address is used purely as a geographic indicator assigned to an anonymous user. As long as you aren’t signed in, we can’t link this information back to you as an individual.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors without proper consent from a parent or legal guardian. If you believe that we may have collected personal information from a minor without the requisite consent, please contact us as described in this Privacy Policy and we will investigate and promptly address the issue.
We will retain your Personal Information for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Notice unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
ZX is the exchange platform located at trading.zanbato.com and is only accessible to users authorized by Zanbato staff. To use ZX, we’ll need to collect and process more of your personal information for a few purposes.
At a high level, ZX is a mediated deal network. It’s built so your personal information is generally only visible to ZX staff—up until the point when a deal has been agreed and everyone needs to sign on the dotted line.
Read on to learn about the ways ZX handles your personal info. In this section, we’ll describe each of our processes, and how we handle the data.
When you register, several financial regulatory bodies require us to collect various personal information. This “registration information” includes full name, employer, title, business address, business telephone number, and business email address. In addition, before you may close a transaction on the site, we are required by the same bodies to have you fill out a “confidential customer questionnaire.” This form may request the ID number of your driver’s license or passport.
We use this standard financial industry information only as absolutely necessary to prevent fraud and to comply with legal requirements.
Your email address, combined with a password of your choosing, will allow you to sign into ZX securely. We’ll also send you emails whenever necessary to help you manage your account - for example, if you need to reset your password, or if a major change to one of our policies is coming up.
You’ll be communicating often with ZX staff in order to use the platform. As a result, ZX staff will be able to see your full name when you are chatting with them. Any conversations you have in our system will be associated with your account.
When signed in, your activity on the Zanbato Platform is logged and linked to your user id. This data includes information about what pages under trading.zanbato.com you’ve visited, and when. ZX staff review this data to better understand usage patterns on ZX. We also review this data periodically to prevent fraud and monitor suspicious activities as necessary.
We’ll use your email address to provide you with a variety of updates about Zanbato. These include feature announcements, platform activity notifications, policy updates, and others. We only send these emails if you’re an active client. Additionally, you can configure your email preferences on the website itself (see below).
Zanbato licenses a tool called Private Label (PL) to clients. When you use a Private Label platform, the licensee ultimately makes the decisions about how your data is handled. We’ll describe what our tools do in this section, but be sure to consult the licensee’s Privacy Policy to get the full picture.
You or your employer (the licensee) can create an account on Private Label for you. Your email address, combined with a password of your choosing, will allow you to sign in securely. We’ll also send you emails whenever necessary to help you manage your account - for example, if you need to reset your password, or if a major change to one of our policies is coming up.
Your full name may also be linked with your account at registration.
We’ll use your email address to provide you with a variety of updates about Zanbato. These include feature announcements, platform activity notifications, policy updates, and others. We only send these emails if you’re an active client. Additionally, you can configure your email preferences on the website itself (see below).
Features such as Closing Room and NDA may use names and/or emails as necessary to create relevant paperwork for signature. This data is processed by a third party digital signature service (described below). We ensure that this service only uses this data for providing the tool as described.
Before signing up for the platform, you’ll likely talk with one of our representatives in person, over the phone, or by email. If we reach out to you first, we’ll let you know where we got your contact information from—generally speaking, this would be by referral from one of your colleagues, or if you asked us to get in touch after a networking event. This information may include your email, telephone number, and/or email address. When you provide us with personal information about your contacts we will only use this information for the specific reason for which it is provided.
If you believe that one of your contacts has provided us with your personal information and you would like to request that it be removed from our database, please contact us at privacy@zanbato.com.

Where we are relying on consent to process your personal data, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. However, withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
Note that in the case of direct marketing emails, we provide an Unsubscribe link which allows you to object and opt-out automatically. You can also configure your email preferences by signing into Zanbato and visiting your account settings page, or by contacting us at privacy@zanbato.com.
Zanbato acknowledges that you have the right to access your personal information. In the case of Private Label platforms, Zanbato may not have a direct relationship with the individuals whose personal data it processes. An individual who seeks access, or who seeks to correct, amend, or delete inaccurate data should direct their query to the data controller responsible for operating the Private Label portal. If requested to remove data we will respond within a reasonable timeframe (no longer than 30 days from receiving your request). In certain circumstances we may be required by law to retain your personal information, or may need to retain your personal information in order to continue providing a service.
We do not, unless you explicitly consent, process any of your personal data in the following special categories: (i) personal data revealing your racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or trade union membership; (ii) genetic data; (iii) biometric data for the purpose of uniquely identifying you; or (iv) data concerning your health, sex life or sexual orientation.
We do not use your personal data to make automated decisions about you without any human input. If we ever begin to do so, if and as applicable, and to the extent required by applicable law, we will endeavor to implement suitable safeguards, including, for example, an opportunity for you to request human intervention, express your point of view, contest any decisions made, and request that we restrict the use of your personal data for the purposes of these automated decisions.
If you have an unresolved privacy or data use concern that we have not addressed satisfactorily, please contact our U.S.-based third party dispute resolution provider (free of charge) at https://feedback-form.truste.com/watchdog/request.
Under certain conditions, more fully described on the Privacy Shield website, you may invoke binding arbitration when other dispute resolution procedures have been exhausted.
Zanbato follows industry-standard best practices to protect your personal information. On the Zanbato platform, all data is encrypted both in-transit and at-rest. Access to sensitive systems, physical or digital, is secured and limited to qualified systems administrators.
Note that no data transmission over the Internet can be fully guaranteed to be completely secure and we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information that you transmit to us, so you do so at your own risk.
If you have any questions about security on the Zanbato Platform, please contact us at support@zanbato.com.
We utilize a number of third parties to power Zanbato, in addition to the ones listed above. As a result, your personal data may be transferred to the entities below and/or other service providers as necessary.
In all cases, we make sure that our service providers only process personal data as absolutely necessary to provide the functions we’ve described. This constraint is enforced through our service agreements with the third parties. We also use contracts to ensure that they provide at least the same level of protections for your personal data when we transfer it to them, and that these requirements also apply to any third parties used by our service providers, as well.
We reserve the right to disclose your personal data as required by laws or regulations or when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights and/or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process. In certain situations, Zanbato may be required to disclose personal data in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.

4.3 Additional Termination Rights of Zanbato. In addition to its other rights and remedies hereunder, Zanbato shall have the right to terminate your access to the Site by notice to you: (i) upon the occurrence of any event which would prevent Zanbato from providing the Site to authorized users generally, including, without limitation, any loss or potential loss of regulatory authorization or license by ZS, any change in applicable law affecting the Site or interpretation by any regulatory authority, or any determination by Zanbato to cease providing the Site; (ii) if Zanbato determines, in its sole discretion, that the you or any of your officers, directors, employees or agents (including any Authorized Customer Delegee) may have violated these Terms of Use, the Rulebook or any applicable law in connection with their use of the Site or any Linked Site; or (iii) if Zanbato determines, in its sole discretion, that the security or normal operation of any part of the Site has been compromised and cannot be promptly cured.

7.1 Bids, Offers and Firm Orders. "Bids" and “Offers" on the Site represent non-binding indications of interest submitted by Zanbato, BROKER-DEALER or one of their respective authorized registered representatives on behalf of their clients (unless such bids/offers are noted as “firm”). A “firm” bid or offer (each, a “Firm Order”) obligates the customer of Zanbato or BROKER-DEALER submitting the Firm Order to pay commissions or banking fees on introduction of a counter-party accepting the terms of their Firm Order, meaning these orders represent a higher level of commitment to transact. Bid and Offers may be for any class of equity security of an issuer and may be for blocks of shares held, exercizable, or held or to be held in special purpose vehicles. Rights of holders of the securities will vary, and transactions may be subject to transfer restrictions, including a right of first refusal by the issuer or others. Some issuers may restrict transfers in their securities to certain classes of investor. Specific information on a given ticket is available from Zanbato market operators through its Z-Chat function.
7.2 Entire Agreement. These Terms of Use, together with the Privacy Policy, and as applicable, the Zanbato ATS Rulebook, the Authorized Registered Representative User Agreement, Subscriber Agreement as well as any definitive written agreement executed by the parties constitute the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior discussions, agreements, and undertakings, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter of these Terms of Use.
7.3 Changes. BROKER-DEALER and Zanbato may change the terms of these Terms of Use at any time. The most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use will be available on the Site. You agree that your continued use of the Site will constitute acceptance of any new or modified version of these Terms of Use. If you do not agree with any such amendment, your sole remedy will be to terminate your access to the Site in accordance with Section 4.
7.4 Severability. If any term or other provision of these Terms of Use is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in a jurisdiction, all other terms and provisions of these Terms of Use will nevertheless remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party and such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability in such jurisdiction will not have any effect in any other jurisdiction.
7.5 Governing Law and Arbitration. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflicts of laws principles. The parties shall attempt to resolve any disputes under this Agreement in an amicable manner by mediation before a single mediator administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") or Judicial Arbitration & Mediation ("JAMS"), under their respective applicable commercial mediation rules, before resorting to arbitration. Thereafter, any unresolved dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be settled by binding and non-appealable arbitration administered by the AAA or JAMS under their respective Commercial Arbitration Rules, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties in the state or federal courts located in New York and the parties hereby consent to the personal jurisdiction and exclusive venue of these courts.
