This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, and protected when you visit smartflexfund.com, request information, complete a form, or otherwise communicate with us through this website.

Information we collect

We may collect information you choose to provide, such as your name, email address, phone number, company or professional information, investor status information, message content, event or webinar registrations, scorecard or questionnaire responses, and other information submitted through forms on this website.

We may also collect technical information automatically, such as IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, referring URLs, approximate location derived from IP address, cookie identifiers, and other usage data used for website security, analytics, performance, and troubleshooting.

How we use information

We may use information to respond to inquiries, provide requested resources, evaluate website performance, improve content and user experience, maintain website security, manage communications, document consent or eligibility-related information, and comply with applicable legal, regulatory, administrative, or recordkeeping obligations.

Submitting information through this website does not create an advisory, fiduciary, investor, client, or other professional relationship by itself. Any potential investment relationship is governed only by the applicable offering documents and completed subscription or onboarding materials.

Cookies and analytics

This website may use cookies, pixels, analytics tools, and similar technologies to operate the site, remember preferences, understand traffic sources, measure engagement, protect against abuse, and improve marketing and communications. You can usually adjust cookie settings through your browser, but some site features may not function properly if cookies are disabled.

Email and communications

If you provide contact information, we may use it to send requested materials, follow up on your inquiry, provide updates, or share information about SMART Flex Fund or related Hickory Creek Capital Partners activities. You may unsubscribe from marketing emails where an unsubscribe option is provided. We may still send administrative, transactional, or legally required communications when appropriate.

How information is shared

We do not sell personal information in the ordinary sense of exchanging it for money. We may share information with service providers, technology vendors, website hosts, analytics providers, CRM/email platforms, professional advisors, compliance or administrative service providers, and other parties that help operate the website, communicate with visitors, evaluate inquiries, or satisfy legal and regulatory obligations.

We may also disclose information if required by law, regulation, legal process, regulatory request, court order, or to protect rights, property, security, users, or the integrity of the website and related operations.

Data retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including communications, business records, legal and regulatory obligations, security, dispute resolution, and legitimate operational needs. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the reason it was collected.

Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect information. No website, transmission method, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Third-party websites and services

This website may link to or embed content from third-party websites, platforms, or services. Those third parties may collect information under their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party sites or services.

Your choices

You may contact us to request access, correction, deletion, or other handling of personal information, subject to applicable legal, regulatory, recordkeeping, security, and verification requirements. We may need to verify your identity before responding to certain requests.
