Privacy Policy
The VC42 startup studio (referred to herein as “VC42” or “we,” “us,” “our” and other similar pronouns) cares about your privacy. This privacy policy (the “Policy”) shall apply to all of VC42’s websites from which this Policy is accessible (each, a “Website"). We created this Policy to explain the type of information we collect, how we will use and protect this information once it is collected.

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully before using this Website. By using this Website in any manner (whether in an automated fashion (including, without limitation, through a software tool, spider, bot, or agent) or otherwise), your actions constitute an act of acceptance of, and agreement to be bound by, this Policy.
This Policy does not apply to information that you may provide to us, or that we may obtain, other than through our Websites, such as over the phone, by mail, or in person.

If you have any questions about data protection in connection with our products and services or the use of our website, you can also contact us at any time:

Information You Provide to Us
“Personal Information” is information that can be used to identify you as an individual or allow someone to contact you. We may collect Personal Information such as your name, email addresses, telephone numbers and any other information you provide to us online.

Information Gathered Automatically
When you visit a Website, some information is automatically collected by us. For example, our servers automatically collect your IP address when you visit this Website, and we may associate that with your domain name or that of your Internet access provider. We receive data from or about the computer and/or mobile device that you use to access and/or install the Website, including data about the computer’s or mobile device’s operating system and the browser used to access the Website. We may also capture certain “clickstream data” about your site usage (such information referred to as “Website Usage Information”). Clickstream data includes, for example, information about your computer or mobile device, web browser and operating system and their settings, the referring page that linked you to the Website, the pages, content, or ads, to the extent ads have been included on the Website, that you see or click on during your visit and when and for how long you do so, items you download, the next website you visit when you leave the Website, and any search terms you have entered on the Website or a referral site. We may record your interactions with the Website, view any information that you may enter into the Website’s fields, and create video recordings of your user session. Such video recordings capture your interactions with the Website (such as the movements of your cursor, the pages of the Website you visit, and any information you may enter into the Website’s fields). Such video recordings do not capture your interactions with other websites or your interactions with your computer or mobile device that are unrelated to the Website.

Also, we may deploy various tracking technologies on the Websites to collect additional information about your Website visits.

Cookies: Cookies are small data files stored on your computer or device at the request of a website. A cookie assigns a unique numerical identifier to your web browser and may enable us to recognize you as the same user who was at this Website in the past and relate your use of the Website to other information about you, such as your Website Usage Information and Personal Information. Cookies may also be used to enhance your experience on a Website (for example, by storing your username so you can log in easily, keeping you logged into the Website after you have provided your password, and storing the contents of your shopping cart as you browse) or to collect general usage and aggregated statistical information and detect and prevent fraud. Most browsers can be set to detect cookies and give you an opportunity to reject them, but refusing cookies may, in some cases, inhibit or preclude your use of the Website or its features.

Local Shared Object: Local shared objects, such as “Flash cookies,” may be stored on your computer or device using a media player or other software installed on your computer or device. Local shared objects operate like cookies, but cannot be managed in the same way. Depending on how local shared objects are enabled on your computer or device, you may be able to manage them using software settings. HTML5: HTML5 (the language some websites are coded in) may be used to store information on your computer or device about your Website usage activities. This information can be retrieved by us to determine how this Website is being used by our visitors, how it can be improved, and to customize it for our users.

Cache Cookies: Cache cookies, such as electronic Tags, may be used to identify your computer or device as the same computer or device that visited our Website or another website in the past.

Clear GIFs: A pixel tag (also known as a “clear GIF” or “web beacon”) is a tiny image – typically just one-pixel – that can be placed on a web page or in our electronic communications to you to help us measure the effectiveness of our content by, for example, counting the number of individuals who visit us online or verifying whether you’ve opened one of our emails or seen one of our web pages.
These tracking technologies may be deployed by us and/or by our service providers on our behalf. These technologies enable us to assign a unique number to you and relate your Website Usage Information to other information about you, including your Personal Information.
By using this Website, you consent to our use of these tracking technologies as described above.

Security
While we endeavor to protect the security and integrity of sensitive Personal Information collected via our Websites, due to the inherent nature of the Internet as an open global communications vehicle, we cannot guarantee that any information, during transmission through the Internet or while stored on our system or otherwise in our care, will be absolutely safe from intrusion by others, such as hackers. If you correspond with us by email, text message, or even through web forms feature on this Website, you should be aware that your transmission might not be secure. A third party could view the information you send in transit by such means. We will have no liability for disclosure of your information due to errors or unauthorized acts of third parties during or after transmission.
If we believe that the security of your Personal Information in our care may have been compromised, we may seek to notify you of that issue. If a notification is appropriate, we will endeavor to notify you as promptly as possible under the circumstances. If we have your email address, we may notify you by email. You consent to our use of email as a means of such notification.
