MicroQuant, LLC AI-Based Software Disclaimers:
You should be aware that MicroQuant (MQ) uses artificial intelligence (AI) – based technologies for customer support and as actual AI-based telephone sales agents. MQ does not provide customized investment or trading advice or individualized advice tailored to a specific portfolio, investment, or financial objective. Be cautious about using AI-generated information to make investment decisions or to attempt to forecast or predict future market direction or price. AI-generated information might rely on data that is inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading. For example, it could be based on false or outdated information about financial, political, or other news events. Or it could draw from false or misleading information that was disseminated in an attempt to influence or manipulate a stock’s or commodity’s price (either positively or negatively). Even when based on accurate input, information produced using AI-based methods can be faulty or even fabricated.
Depending on how it is presented, AI-generated information — particularly conversations with chatbots — could lead you to make misinformed, emotionally-driven, or impulsive investment decisions, which can result in losses, potentially substantial.
AI can generate and spread false or inaccurate information. You should confirm the authenticity of underlying sources and review multiple sources of information before making any investment decision.

2. Categories of Personal Data Collected and Source of the Data
Base Camp Trading collects information that a user chooses to provide by engaging in certain activities on the Platform, for example, by registering as a member, completing a form to download a white paper or request a document, ordering a product or service, submitting content, exchanging email or other correspondences with us or our representatives, and/or posting content in discussion forums or other public areas, entering a contest or sweepstakes, filling out a survey, or sending us feedback. We also collect information by analyzing a user’s behavior, predispositions, preferences, activity, and usage on the Platform over time to create a profile about a user. In general, users may visit unrestricted portions of the Platform anonymously and may refuse to supply Personal Data, though such refusal may prevent users from accessing portions of the Platform or participating in certain Platform related activities.
For purposes of this Policy, “Personal Data” that we may collect and process through the Platform or in connection with the Services means personal information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household, including but not limited to:
Identifying Information: In various sections of the Platform (including to make a purchase and to access designated member services and/or restricted areas) users are asked to provide personal identifying information, such as: name, e-mail address, phone number, billing address, account name, organization, and/or other similar identifiers.
Payment Information: If a user requests Services (including registration to become a trial member or member) for which payment is required, the user may be asked to provide payment information such as: method of payment, credit card number, credit card security code or card verification code, credit card expiration date, and other information which may be necessary to process such transactions. This information is collected and processed by an external payment processor; it is not accessed or stored by Base Camp Trading. This Personal Data is required to provide products and/or Services to you. If you do not provide Personal Data we ask for, it may delay or prevent us from providing products and/or Services to you.
Member Information: If a user registers to become a trial member or member, we create an account in the name of that individual. To establish and maintain such a trial membership or membership we may request identifying information, payment information, and additional information necessary to establish or maintain your account. Only the minimum amount of information necessary to establish or maintain the account is mandatory. To access the user account, the registrant is required to choose a password.
Communication from Users: When a user completes an online form, visits our Platform, or otherwise contacts us by email, phone or text, we automatically collect and store certain information about that user and the user’s activities, such as: name and contact information, information the user provides us, user’s company information (if any), nature of the communication, purpose of the interaction, action taken by Base Camp Trading or user in response to the user’s inquiry or request, and/or demographic information.
Communications to Users: Unless we are prohibited by applicable law from using cookies or a user has not otherwise consented to our use of cookies, we insert cookies in some of our correspondences which allow us to determine whether a user has accessed or declined to open our message and count other unique clicks or visits. This information helps us understand how the user reacts to our communications.
Surveys and Contests: From time-to-time, we invite users to participate in surveys or contests. Participation is voluntary. When a user participates, we collect and store your responses to such surveys, contests, and promotions. Depending on the nature of the survey or contents, we also use this information to send the survey results to the participants, or, if applicable, to notify contest winners and award prizes. We also use the information in aggregate form, for analytics purposes, to understand our market, to monitor site traffic or app usage, or to modify our Platform or our Service to meet the needs or interests of users.
If we use a third-party service provider to conduct these surveys, the information collected by the service provider is subject to both the service provider’s privacy policy and ours. We will provide information about the applicable privacy policies with the survey rules and will seek your explicit consent to these rules when required by law. You should read the terms of the survey or contest to understand the extent to which the service provider is allowed to use or reuse the information collected.
Social Media: Our Platform offers integrations with third-party social media platforms. These services collect, at a minimum, the user’s IP address and which page of our Platform the user is visiting. They may set a cookie to enable their features to function properly. Social media features and widgets are hosted by a third party or directly on our Platform. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing the feature.
Publicly Available Data: We collect information available from publicly accessible sources, such as property records or information about a user’s interests.
Information Provided by Users: Certain areas of the Platform allow you to write messages to other users or post content, which such messages or posts may contain Personal Data. You should be aware that information so disclosed or shared will be generally available to other persons, both inside of and/or outside of the Platform, who have access to such areas of the Platform. All such information is disclosed or shared at a user’s own risk. All user opinions contained in such messages or posts do not reflect the opinions of Base Camp Trading. We request that you do not disclose:
