This policy covers personal information processed through the Services. It does not govern a third party's own services or privacy practices, even when we link to or integrate with them.
Our work involves two materially different categories of information:
The same information can fall into both categories depending on its source, context, and use. When that happens, we evaluate the information according to the context in which we collected and use it, applicable law, safety considerations, and the rights described below.
Depending on how you interact with the Services, we may collect the following categories of User Data:
Please do not include highly sensitive personal information in prompts, files, forms, or other submissions unless it is necessary for your request and you are authorized to provide it.
Public Research Data may include names, professional biographies, employment and association information, company roles, public contact or social links, education, location at a city or region level, investment activity, financing information, public statements, and other business or professional information.
We may compile this information from public records; regulatory and government sources; company, fund, accelerator, and professional websites; news and other publications; public profiles; third-party research and data services; and information supplied by users or the subjects of the research. We may derive classifications, summaries, comparisons, and other inferences from those sources.
Public Research Data may be displayed publicly, provided through the Services, licensed, sold, or otherwise made available as part of our research products. This is distinct from selling User Data about a person's use of aVenture.
We collect information:
We may use personal information to:
The Services use artificial intelligence, machine-learning, search, embedding, reranking, transcription, computer-vision, and related systems. To answer a request or operate these features, we may send our inference gateway or a provider the prompt, question, instructions, selected Public Research Data, retrieved web or database context, images, files or content you submit, and technical metadata needed to process and secure the request.
Providers used for these functions include, but are not limited to, OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter, Google, DigitalOcean, and Weights & Biases. The specific provider can vary by feature, model availability, quality, reliability, security, and configuration. We may also use self-hosted or other third-party models and infrastructure.
Do not submit confidential, regulated, or sensitive information to an AI feature unless the feature is intended for it and you have the right to do so. AI output may be incomplete or inaccurate and should be independently verified before consequential use.
We use provider configurations and agreements intended to restrict an AI provider's independent use of User Data, except as allowed by our agreement with that provider, your instructions, or applicable law. Provider retention and processing can differ by service and configuration.
We may use AI observability and evaluation services, such as Langfuse or Weights & Biases, to record model, tool, prompt, response, usage, cost, error, and trace information. We configure these systems to limit unnecessary data where practical, but their records may still contain personal information included in an input, retrieved context, tool result, or model output.
We may disclose personal information to the following categories of recipients for the purposes described in this policy:
We select and manage service providers using protections appropriate to the information and service involved and, where applicable, require them to process personal information for the contracted service and protect it consistently with our instructions and applicable law.
The vendor names above are current examples, not a permanent or exhaustive list. We may add, replace, or discontinue providers as our Services and operations change. The recipient categories, purposes, and data practices described in this policy remain controlling. If a provider change creates a material new use or disclosure of personal information, we will update this policy and provide any additional notice or choice required by law.
We use cookies, local storage, pixels, server logs, and similar technologies to keep users signed in, remember preferences, secure the Services, understand usage, diagnose problems, and measure communications or campaigns.
Browser controls can block or delete cookies, but doing so may prevent authentication or other features from working. Some browsers transmit “Do Not Track” signals; there is no uniform industry standard for responding to them, and not every service we use responds in the same way. Where legally required, we process recognized opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control, as a request to opt out for the browser or device that sends the signal.
We do not sell User Data for money. Some disclosures to advertising or analytics providers may be considered a “sale,” “sharing,” or use for targeted advertising under certain U.S. state privacy laws even when no money changes hands. You may request to opt out of those disclosures by emailing [email protected] or using https://aventure.vc/forms/contact.
Depending on where you live and which laws apply to aVenture and the particular processing, you may have rights to:
We will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising an applicable privacy right.
To make a request, email [email protected] or use https://aventure.vc/forms/contact. Please describe the request and identify the account, interaction, or information involved. We may verify your identity and authority before responding. An authorized agent may submit a request where permitted by law, but we may request proof of authorization and verify the consumer directly.
These rights apply only to the extent provided by applicable law. For example, California Consumer Privacy Act rights apply when its statutory requirements cover aVenture and the processing at issue. We may choose to honor a request more broadly, but doing so does not mean that a particular law applies to every request or aVenture activity.
If Public Research Data about you or your organization is inaccurate, outdated, misleading, or missing important context, submit supporting sources through https://aventure.vc/forms/request-data-updates. We consider good-faith correction requests as part of maintaining a useful research dataset.
We generally do not remove accurate information solely because it is publicly available and unwanted. We do consider removal, limitation, or redaction requests involving credible safety risks, unlawfully obtained or nonpublic information, legal obligations, or evidence that publication would be materially false or misleading.
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy. The period depends on the nature of the information and may include the time needed to provide an account or requested service; maintain research integrity and source provenance; resolve disputes; prevent abuse; comply with legal, tax, accounting, or reporting obligations; and enforce agreements.
When information is no longer reasonably necessary, we delete, deidentify, or aggregate it, subject to limited backup, archival, legal-hold, security, and provider-retention requirements. A deletion request may not remove information we must or are permitted to retain, or independently collected Public Research Data that we continue to use lawfully.
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
aVenture is based in the United States. We and our providers may process information in the United States and other countries whose data-protection laws differ from those where you live. Where required, we use appropriate measures for cross-border transfers.
The Services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, contact [email protected] so we can investigate and take appropriate action.
We may update this policy as the Services, providers, and law change. We will post the updated policy here, revise the “Last updated” date, and preserve a summary of material changes below. If a change materially affects how we use or disclose previously collected personal information, we will provide additional notice or obtain consent when required by law.
