Last Updated On: 08-02-2021

Your privacy is important to VentureDive; maintaining your trust is paramount to us.

It is VentureDive’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our website. This Privacy Policy applies to venturedive.com/ (hereinafter, “us”, “we”, or “venturedive.com/”). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting personally identifiable information you may provide us through the Website.

We have adopted this privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) to explain what information may be collected on our Website, how we use this information, and under what circumstances we may disclose the information to third parties. This Privacy Policy applies only to information we collect through the Website and does not apply to our collection of information from other sources.

This Privacy Policy, together with the Terms and conditions posted on our Website, set forth the general rules and policies governing your use of our Website. Depending on your activities when visiting our Website, you may be required to agree to additional terms and conditions.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, VentureDive 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. 

VentureDive’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how VentureDive’s visitors use its website. From time to time, VentureDive may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

VentureDive also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on http://venturedive.com/blog posts. VentureDive only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to VentureDive’s websites choose to interact with VentureDive in ways that require VentureDive to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that VentureDive gathers depend on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up on the contact form at http://venturedive.com/contact to provide a username and email address.

Security

VentureDive ensures data security through adequate measures to minimize the likelihood of data breaches, whether pre-emptive or post. Data breaches and protection of data itself come under the wider umbrella of the data lifecycle.

Additionally, observing the GDPR regulations, secure auditory practices are carried out to ensure standardized operations and encryption practices. New techniques are continually implemented in order to keep our Data Security ahead of the curve.

If you feel like you have encountered a shortfall in our policy or a security breach in VentureDive’s system, reach out to us at privacy@venturedive.com, for adequate error reporting.
