Capital United is a state-registered investment adviser (CRD #285616), with its principal office in Puerto Rico and additional registrations in Florida, Oregon, and Wisconsin; the firm is also subject to Regulation S-P ("Reg S-P") and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which impose additional obligations regarding nonpublic personal information of our clients.
This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through our Website, through email and phone communications, and through written correspondence with Capital United.

Our Website is built on the WordPress platform. When you visit, the following limited technical information may be automatically collected to serve the Website and measure aggregate usage:
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to understand how visitors use our Website in aggregate. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect information such as the pages you view, the time you spend on each page, the links you click, and your general geographic location. This information is used to produce statistical reports on Website activity and to help us improve the Website.
The information generated by Google Analytics is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers that may be located outside your country of residence.

Google's privacy practices are described at policies.google.com/privacy.

For investors subscribing to our 506(c) offering (Cap-U Fuel Innovation 100), we may receive accreditation verification confirmations from independent verification providers (such as licensed attorneys, certified public accountants, or registered broker-dealers). These providers collect documentation directly from you under their own privacy terms; we receive only the verification confirmation, not underlying financial documents, unless you choose to share them with us directly.
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
We do not sell, rent, or lease your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes, and we do not use your information for advertising profiling.
We may share information in the following limited circumstances:

We may disclose information where required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, including disclosures to the SEC, FINRA, state securities regulators, the Internal Revenue Service, the Puerto Rico Department of Treasury, and other applicable authorities.
If Capital United is involved in a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to the protections of this Privacy Policy.

We do not use third-party advertising cookies, Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight, retargeting cookies, or similar cross-context behavioral advertising technologies on this Website.
You can configure your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent. Refusing strictly necessary cookies may cause portions of the Website to malfunction. Disabling analytics cookies will stop Google Analytics collection without impacting Website functionality.
We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards reasonably designed to protect the information we collect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These safeguards include:
Despite these safeguards, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security. If you have reason to believe your interaction with us is no longer secure, please contact us immediately using the information in Section 12.
We retain information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Policy, to comply with legal and regulatory obligations, or to resolve disputes. As a state-registered investment adviser, we are required to retain certain records for a minimum of five years (with the first two years in an easily accessible location) under Rule 204-2 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Certain tax-related records may be retained longer under applicable tax laws.
When information is no longer required, we will securely delete or anonymize it.
