Privacy Policy

Overview

Koester Development (“Koester Development,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through koesterdevelopment.com and its investor portal (together, the “Site”), how we use it, and the choices you have.

Information we collect

Information you provide

• Contact inquiries: name, organization, email address, phone number, inquiry type and the content of your message.
• Investor access requests: name, organization, work email, investor type and any additional information you choose to share.
• Investor portal accounts: name, email address, organization and login credentials (passwords are handled by our authentication provider and are never visible to us).

Information collected automatically

When you visit the Site, our hosting and analytics providers may collect standard technical information such as IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, referring pages and the date and time of visits. We use this information in aggregate to understand how the Site is used and to keep it secure.

How we use information

• To respond to inquiries and communicate with you about potential projects, partnerships or opportunities.
• To review, approve and administer investor portal access.
• To operate, maintain, secure and improve the Site.
• To comply with legal obligations and protect our rights.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for third-party advertising.

How we share information

We share information only with service providers that help us operate the Site, under obligations to protect it, including:

• Website hosting and form processing (Netlify, Inc.)
• Investor portal authentication (our identity provider)
• Email (Google Workspace)
• Website analytics (if enabled)

We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect the rights or safety of Koester Development or others, or in connection with a business transaction such as a merger or acquisition.

Cookies

The Site uses a limited number of cookies and similar technologies that are necessary for it to function, such as keeping investor portal users signed in. If analytics are enabled, they may use cookies or similar technologies to measure Site usage. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling necessary cookies may prevent the investor portal from working.

Data retention

We keep inquiry and access-request information for as long as needed to respond and maintain a business relationship, and investor portal account information for as long as the account is active, unless a longer period is required by law.

Security

The Site is served over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection, and the investor portal uses an established third-party authentication provider. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please do not submit sensitive financial information through Site forms.

Your choices and rights

You may ask us to access, correct or delete the personal information we hold about you, or to close your investor portal account, by contacting us using the details below. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under applicable law.

Children

The Site is intended for business and professional audiences and is not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date above reflects the most recent changes.
