Effective Date: July 30, 2026
VENTUREANDPHILANTHROPY LLC, doing business as Venture + Philanthropy (“Venture + Philanthropy,” “V+P,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information when you visit ventureandphilanthropy.com, submit a form, schedule a meeting, communicate with us, participate in our programs or communities, or otherwise interact with our services.
By using our website or providing personal information, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If a separate client or program agreement contains additional privacy or confidentiality terms, those terms also apply to the applicable engagement.
1. PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT
Information you provide directly. We may collect your name, email address, telephone number, mailing address, organization, job title, professional interests, meeting preferences, communications, form responses, survey responses, event or program registrations, testimonials, feedback, and other information you choose to provide.
Service and relationship information. If you become a client, member, participant, donor, partner, or other business contact, we may collect information needed to administer the relationship, such as engagement details, program participation, scheduling information, transaction records, and communications. Payment-card information may be collected directly by our payment processor; we generally receive transaction details rather than full card numbers.
Information collected automatically. When you use the website, we and our service providers may automatically collect device and usage information, such as Internet Protocol address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring page, pages viewed, links clicked, approximate location derived from IP address, and dates and times of access. We may collect this information through cookies, pixels, tags, logs, and similar technologies.
Communication preferences. We may record your email and text-message subscriptions, consent records, and opt-out requests.
Sensitive information. Please do not submit Social Security numbers, government identification numbers, financial-account credentials, health information, precise geolocation, or other sensitive personal information unless we specifically request it through an appropriate and secure method.
2. SOURCES OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
We collect personal information directly from you, automatically from your browser or device, from our service providers and business systems, and from referral partners, publicly available sources, social networks, event organizers, or other third parties where permitted by law.
3. HOW WE USE PERSONAL INFORMATION
We may use personal information to:
• Respond to inquiries and provide requested information;
• Schedule discovery calls, meetings, programs, and events;
• Provide and administer advisory, coaching, community, educational, and related services;
• Manage client, participant, partner, and business relationships;
• Process transactions and maintain business records;
• Send administrative, service-related, and transactional communications;
• Send marketing communications where permitted by law and consistent with your choices;
• Personalize and improve the website, content, programs, and services;
• Measure website performance and understand how visitors use our services;
• Maintain security, prevent fraud and abuse, and troubleshoot technical issues;
• Enforce our agreements and protect our rights, users, and others;
• Comply with legal, tax, accounting, and regulatory obligations; and
• Carry out any other purpose disclosed when information is collected or with your consent.
4. COOKIES AND ANALYTICS
We may use cookies and similar technologies that are necessary for site functionality, remember preferences, measure traffic, and improve performance. We may use analytics, advertising, customer-relationship management, scheduling, email, form, and hosting providers that place or read these technologies on our behalf.
You can adjust cookie settings through your browser. Blocking certain cookies may affect website functionality. Where required by law, we will provide additional choices or obtain consent for nonessential technologies. We will honor legally required browser-based opt-out signals when applicable.
5. HOW WE DISCLOSE PERSONAL INFORMATION
We may disclose personal information to:
• Service providers that support hosting, customer-relationship management, forms, scheduling, communications, email, text messaging, analytics, payments, security, data storage, and professional services;
• Contractors, advisors, and professional consultants that need the information to perform services for us;
• Business partners or program collaborators when needed to provide a service you request or with your direction or consent;
• Government authorities, courts, regulators, or other parties when required by law or reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, property, or the integrity of our services; and
• A buyer, successor, or other party in connection with a merger, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, or similar business transaction, subject to appropriate protections.
We do not sell personal information for money. We do not disclose personal information to third parties for their own direct marketing without your consent. If our practices change in a way that creates an opt-out right under applicable law, we will update this policy and provide the required choice before engaging in that activity.
6. MOBILE INFORMATION AND TEXT-MESSAGE CONSENT
If you provide a mobile number and opt in to text messages, we may use your number and consent record to send the message categories described at the point of collection. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out or HELP for assistance, or call 512-426-5906. Consent to receive marketing texts is not a condition of purchasing goods or services.
No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing or promotional purposes. Information sharing described elsewhere in this policy excludes text-messaging originator opt-in data and consent; that information will not be shared with third parties except service providers that help us deliver messaging services, or as required by law. Those providers may use the information only to perform services for us.
7. EMAIL COMMUNICATIONS
You may unsubscribe from marketing emails by using the unsubscribe link in the message. We may still send non-marketing communications, including responses to your requests, service notices, and messages relating to an active business relationship.
8. DATA RETENTION
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including to provide services, maintain business and consent records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Retention periods vary based on the type of information, the relationship, legal requirements, and operational needs. When information is no longer needed, we may delete, de-identify, or securely dispose of it.
9. DATA SECURITY
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. No system, transmission, or storage method is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for using appropriate care when sending information to us.
10. YOUR PRIVACY CHOICES AND RIGHTS
Depending on where you live and subject to applicable exceptions, you may have the right to:
• Confirm whether we process your personal information;
• Access or obtain a portable copy of personal information;
• Correct inaccurate personal information;
• Request deletion of personal information;
• Opt out of targeted advertising, the sale of personal information, or certain profiling;
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent; and
• Appeal a decision we make regarding a privacy request.
To submit a request, use the contact form on our website, call 512-426-5906, or write to the address in the Contact Us section below. Clearly label the request “Privacy Request” and describe the right you wish to exercise. To appeal a decision, submit a new request labeled “Privacy Appeal” and explain why you believe the decision should be reconsidered.
We may need to verify your identity and authority before completing a request. An authorized agent may submit a request where permitted by law, but we may require proof of authorization and direct identity verification. We will not discriminate against you for exercising applicable privacy rights. If we cannot fulfill a request, we will explain the reason, subject to legal limitations.
11. CHILDREN’S PRIVACY
Our website and services are intended for adults and are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, contact us so we can take appropriate action.
12. THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES AND SERVICES
Our website may link to or integrate with third-party websites, social networks, scheduling tools, payment processors, video platforms, or other services. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, not this Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review those policies before providing information.
13. INFORMATION RELATING TO ORGANIZATIONS
Our services may involve information about businesses, nonprofits, foundations, or other organizations and their personnel. Information that is not linked or reasonably linkable to an individual may not be personal information under applicable law. Contractual confidentiality obligations may apply separately to client and partner information.
14. INTERNATIONAL VISITORS
V+P is based in the United States. If you access the website from another country, your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States and other locations where our service providers operate. Those locations may have different data-protection laws than your country of residence.
15. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The revised policy will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Material changes may be communicated by additional means when required by law.
