Legal Disclaimer and Policies

The Refugee Investment Network (RIN) operates within the Global Development Incubator, a US-based non-profit, 501(C)(3).  Among its many activities, the RIN also acts as a forum in which persons may discuss and educate themselves on commercial aspects involving refugees, other forced migrants and their hosts.  The RIN, therefore, is not a venture fund, an investment bank, a broker dealer, an investment clearing-house or an investment advisor.

Nor does the RIN’s website (www.refugeeinvestments.org) constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to purchase any security that is represented therein. No part of this website constitutes investment, legal, tax, regulatory, accounting or other advice of any kind, and the RIN is not providing you with any business, legal, tax or other advice in connection with the information and descriptions of businesses and presentations herein.

The RIN is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what types of information we collect and how we use it. Your use of this site constitutes your agreement to this Privacy Policy. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this policy, please contact [email protected].
