Some Important VocabularyThis privacy statement is a legal document, so clarity is important. We will use this section to let
you know about some words that have special meanings whenever you see them in this statement.
Let’s start with the word “statement” itself: when we reference “this statement”, “this privacystatement”, and “our statement”, we mean the D. E. Shaw group Online Privacy Statement youare reading now. Wherever we say “we”, “us”, or “our”, we mean the D. E. Shaw group and its
wholly owned subsidiaries. We use the words “you” and “your” to mean you, the reader, and othervisitors to our website who are, in all cases, over the age of 18. This age requirement is discussed in
more detail later in this statement. Whenever we say “including”, we mean “including but notlimited to” or “including without limitation”.
When we talk about our “website”, we mean the website found at www.deshaw.com and suchothers as we may make available from time to time including any portals or mobile applications
we operate that allow you to interact with us or the content we provide. Finally, when we refer to“personal information”, we mean information that can be used to identify you or that can be easily
linked to you. Thus, a list of personal information would include such things as your name,address, telephone number, email address, social security number, and date of birth.
