Privacy Policy
Privacy is crucial to us and our business. So we wanted to be completely upfront with you about Venture Proof’s privacy policy.
Below is the full legal blurb that our lawyers want us to tell you about – and to be fair it is important stuff and you should read it. However, before you get on to that the Venture Proof team also wanted to pick out a few key things for you to show you our commitment to protecting your personal data and to completely reassure you about our service.
Our commitment to you:
We will be very careful with any data you give us – storing this very securely and safely.
We will send you emails from us on a need to know basis only.
We plan to send no more than one general email a month telling you more about what is going on with Venture Proof and our plans – but only if you want this and choose to receive it. You don’t have to if you don’t want to.
We will never send you spam.
We won’t sell your email address or other data to third parties.
We will always treat your personal data with respect.
