Venture Seeds Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy

Your privacy is critically important to VentureSeeds. Our two fundamental privacy principles:

We don't ask for personal information unless it's truly needed.
Personal information is not shared with anyone.

It is our policy to respect your privacy regarding any information collected through forms on the VentureSeeds website.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, VentureSeeds collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. The purpose of collecting non-personally-identifying information is to better understand how visitors are using the site. From time to time, non-personally-identifying information may be released in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of the website.

Potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses are collected as well. However, such information is not used to identify visitors and it is not disclosed, other than under the same circumstances that personally-identifying information may be disclosed, as described below.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to VentureSeeds choose to interact with the site in ways that require VentureSeeds to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that the site gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who fill out our contact forms to provide a name and email address. Those who engage in transactions with VentureSeeds - by purchasing a custom web application, for example - are asked to provide additional information, including, as necessary, the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, VentureSeeds collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor's interaction with the site. VentureSeeds does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. Visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

Aggregated Statistics

VentureSeeds may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, VentureSeeds may monitor website posts and visitor comments in an effort to identify and eliminate spam. VentureSeeds may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, VentureSeeds does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

VentureSeeds discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on VentureSeeds' behalf or to provide services available at the site, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using the VentureSeeds site, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. VentureSeeds will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, VentureSeeds discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when VentureSeeds believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of VentureSeeds, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of the VentureSeeds website and have supplied your email address, VentureSeeds may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what's going on with VentureSeeds and its products & services. These e-mails are kept to a minimum. VentureSeeds takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
