Information you submit to us:
Information we obtain from third parties: We may maintain pages on social media platforms, such as LinkedIn, and other third-party platforms. When you visit or interact with our pages on those platforms, the platform provider’s privacy policy will apply to your interactions and their collection, use and processing of your personal information.
Automatic data collection: We and our service providers may automatically log information about you, your computer or mobile device, and your interactions over time with our website, our communications and other online services, such as:
We use the following tools for automatic data collection:
To provide, operate, maintain, and secure our website and services.
To communicate with you, including to respond to your requests, provide support, and otherwise communicate with you about our services, including by sending announcements, surveys, updates, security alerts, and support and administrative messages.
Improve, monitor, and personalize our website, including by understanding your needs and interests and personalizing your experience with the website and our communications.
For research and development. We may use your personal information for research and development purposes, including to analyze and improve our services and our business. As part of these activities, we may create aggregated, de-identified, or other anonymous data from personal information we collect. We make personal information into anonymous data by removing information that makes the data personally identifiable to you. We may use this anonymous data and disclose it to third parties for our lawful business purposes, including to analyze and improve our services and promote our business.
Direct marketing. We may from time-to-time send you direct marketing communications as permitted by law, including but not limited to newsletters and updates on news and events. You may opt out of our marketing emails as described in the “Opt out of marketing communications” section below.
Compliance and protection. We may use personal information to:
Affiliates. We may disclose your personal information to our subsidiaries and affiliates for purposes consistent with this Privacy Policy.
Service providers. We may disclose your personal information to third party companies and individuals that provide services on our behalf or help us operate our services (such as lawyers, bankers, auditors, insurers, customer support, hosting, analytics, email delivery, marketing, and database management services).
Business transfers. We may sell, transfer or otherwise share some or all of our business or assets, including your personal information, in connection with a business transaction (or potential business transaction) such as a corporate divestiture, merger, consolidation, acquisition, reorganization or sale of assets, or in the event of bankruptcy or dissolution. In such a case, we will make reasonable efforts to require the recipient to honor this Privacy Policy.
Opt out of marketing communications. You may opt out of marketing-related emails by following the opt-out or unsubscribe instructions at the bottom of the email. You may continue to receive service-related and other non-marketing emails.
Limit online tracking. There are a number of ways to limit online tracking, which we have summarized below. Please note that these tools are not associated with Fulcrum Venture Group and we cannot guarantee that they work as their providers advertise them:
Note that because these opt-out mechanisms are specific to the device or browser on which they are exercised, you will need to opt out on every browser and device that you use.
Do Not Track. Some Internet browsers may be configured to send “Do Not Track” signals to the online services that you visit. We currently do not respond to “Do Not Track” or similar signals. To find out more about “Do Not Track,” please visit http://www.allaboutdnt.com.
Our website may contain links to other websites, mobile applications, and other online services operated by third parties. These links are not an endorsement of, or representation that we are affiliated with, any third party. In addition, our content may be included on web pages or in mobile applications or online services that are not associated with us. We do not control third party websites, mobile applications or online services, and we are not responsible for their actions. Other websites and services follow different rules regarding the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of the other websites and mobile applications and online services you use.
We employ a number of technical, organizational, and physical safeguards designed to protect the personal information we collect. However, no security measures are failsafe and we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information.
We keep personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, while we have a business need to do so, or as required by law (e.g. for tax, legal, accounting, or other purposes), whichever is longer.
Our website is not intended for use by children under 13 years of age. If we learn that we have collected personal information through the website from a child under 13 without the consent of the child’s parent or guardian as required by law, we will delete it.
