Non-Personal Information
The Site and Application may also collect through cookies certain information that is not personally identifiable, such as IP addresses, geographic regions, browser version, device information, operating system and other websites you may have passed through to reach the Services, as further described in the section above on Cookies.
We may use third-party providers to host our Site, Application, databases and other content relating to the Services, to help operate or promote the Services, and to provide related marketing services. We may share anonymous statistical information, but never PII, with these service providers and other third parties that provide services for our business.

Security

All payment information is transmitted securely to our service provider Dwolla, Inc. and other personal information may be transmitted to our other Third Party Service Providers. See the below section on Third Party Services.
However, because no security system is impenetrable, we cannot guarantee the security of your data on the servers we use that are hosted by a Third Party Service Provider. In addition, because Internet communication is generally unsecure, we cannot warrant the security of your information or guarantee that the information you transmit through our Site or Application may not be intercepted, accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed.
You should be cautious about using open, unsecured Internet WiFi connections any time you are transmitting any PII to us. We strongly advise that you use a secure connection to interact with the Services any time you access your account or submit PII.
In the unlikely event that we have reason to believe the security of your PII data in our possession or control may have been compromised, we may seek to notify you of that development or take other actions as may be required by applicable laws. If a notification is appropriate, we would endeavor to do so as promptly as possible under the circumstances and in compliance with applicable laws, and if we have your e-mail address we may notify you by e-mail as well as by postal mail if we have your mailing address. You consent to our use of e-mail as a means of such notification.
Business Transfers
In the event that HappyNest merges with or is acquired by a third party, or substantially all of our assets are acquired by one or more third parties, as a result of an acquisition, merger, sale, reorganization, consolidation, or liquidation, PII may be assigned or transferred to our successor, merged entity or new owner of such assets.

Loose Change Round Up Terms
The HappyNest Application’s Loose Change Round Up Feature allows you to incrementally invest by rounding up the purchases made with your linked credit or debit card to the nearest whole dollar (‘Round Up’). The ‘Round Up’ amounts are tracked and once they accumulate to $5.00, you authorize a transfer equivalent to these ‘Round Ups’ from your linked bank account—not the credit card—to your HappyNest account for investment (‘Round Up Deposit’).
To participate in the Round Up Program, you must connect your HappyNest account to at least one bank account, which we refer to as your ‘Linked Bank Account.’ While you may also link a credit card to facilitate the tracking of ‘Round Ups,’ please note that no charges will be made to your credit card for the purpose of funding your investments. Instead, the credit card is used exclusively for calculating the ‘Round Up’ amounts based on your spending.
You acknowledge that by enrolling in the Round Up Program and upon reaching the $5.00 threshold of ‘Round Ups,’ you permit the transfer of funds from your Linked Bank Account to your HappyNest account for the purchase of fractional shares based on the current net asset value (NAV) of HappyNest shares, in accordance with our offering. These fractional shares carry the same rights and are subject to the same terms as all other shares issued by HappyNest NAV without any delay or special treatment.
Investors can continue to participate in the Round Up Program, with their Linked Bank Account being debited in subsequent $5.00 increments as new round-up amounts accumulate. Each time the $5.00 threshold is met, the investment process is repeated, ensuring consistent and ongoing investment activity.
There may be a monthly subscription fee associated with the Loose Change Round Up Feature, which will be disclosed to you upon enrollment and subject to your consent.
You may cancel your subscription to the Round Up Program at any time through the Application, with the cancellation becoming effective at 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the day before the next billing cycle. Upon cancellation, any accumulated ‘Round Ups’ will be stored for sixty (60) days before being removed from the database.
