Privacy Policy
Thank you for your interest in us and your visit to our website (this “Site”), which is owned and operated by High Output Ventures (together with its affiliated entities, “HOV”, “we” or “us”).
HOV is committed to respecting and protecting your privacy. Please read this Website Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) carefully in order to understand what information HOV collects about visitors to this Site, and how HOV uses and discloses that information. By using or accessing this Site in any way, you acknowledge that you have read, understood and hereby accept the practices and policies outlined in this Privacy Policy, and you hereby consent to our collection, use and sharing of your information in the manner described herein. If you do not agree with the content of this Privacy Policy, please discontinue the use of this Site.
We encourage you to check this Site frequently to see the current Privacy Policy in effect and any changes that may have been made to them. This Privacy Policy may be updated or otherwise modified by us at any time. Your continued use of this Site after any such updates or modifications constitutes your acceptance of such updated or modified Privacy Policy.
This Privacy Policy only covers our treatment of your personal information that we gather when you are accessing or using our Site, but not to the practices of companies we do not own or control, or people that we do not manage, nor to the privacy practices of any entity with whom HOV (or any of our affiliates) has an investment relationship, even if you are able to access such entity’s website or service through a link on this Site. This Privacy Policy also does not apply to information obtained or disclosed in offline correspondence, through other personal contacts with representatives of HOV or its affiliates.
Types of Information Collected
HOV collects both personal information (which includes personal identifiers) and non-personal information from your interactions with us via this Site. Personal information is information or data, whether true or not, about an individual who can be identified from that information or data, or from that information or data and other information to which an organisation has or is likely to have access. Common examples of personal data could include name, identification number and contact information.
Information You Provide to Us
If you sign up to receive HOV’s newsletters, provide contact information or other information about yourself when accessing a password protected area or through the “Accelerator/Co-found” page in this Site, HOV may request and/or you may be required to provide personal information, including, without limitation, your e-mail address. If you have provided your email address and do not want to receive communications from us, please indicate your preference by clicking on the “Unsubscribe” link at the bottom of an email message. You may obtain access to your personal information collected by HOV by sending an e-mail to support@hov.co
Information Collected Automatically
HOV may collect information during your visit to this Site through our automatic data collection tools, which may include cookies and other commonly used information-gathering tools. These tools collect certain information that your browser sends to our website such as your browser type and language, access times, and the address of the website from which you arrived at this Site. They may also collect information about your IP address and clickstream behavior (i.e. the pages you view, the links you click, and other actions you take in connection with this Site), geolocation data, and information about your device. A “cookie” is a small piece of data stored on a user’s browser, and contains non-personally identifiable information about the user. When you visit this Site, HOV may place a "cookie" in order to improve your experience by recognizing you when you visit this Site and in order to allow us to optimize the information presented based on your demonstrated areas of interest. Cookies may also be used to compile information about website usage. If you subsequently provide us with personal information such as your email address, we may associate any cookies on your browser with that information. You may be able to change the preferences on your browser or device to prevent or limit your device’s acceptance of cookies, but this may prevent you from taking advantage of some of our features. If you click on a link to a third-party website or service, a third party may also transmit cookies to you. Again, this Privacy Policy does not cover the use of cookies by any third parties, and we are in no way responsible for their privacy policies and practices.
How HOV Uses and Shares Information
HOV may use personal information you provide in order to contact you. For example, if you sign up for HOV’s newsletters, HOV may use your contact information to send you the newsletter and other communications from HOV.
HOV may share information in aggregate form (i.e., that cannot reasonably identify a particular individual) with third parties for business purposes, such as consultants and advisors to HOV.
HOV may disclose your information to a third party if required to do so by law or if, in good faith, HOV believes that such action is necessary to: (1) comply with the law, court order or with other legal process, (2) protect and/or defend HOV’s rights and property or prevent fraud, (3) protect HOV against abuse, misuse or unauthorized use of HOV’s products or services, or (4) protect the rights, safety and/or property of its personnel, affiliates, users of this Site or the public, including the enforcement of the Terms of Service.
Non-Confidentiality of Certain Information Submitted to Us
If you submit unsolicited business plan ideas or slide decks to HOV through this Site, HOV cannot and will not accept responsibility for protecting against misuse or disclosure of any confidential or proprietary information included in such materials, in the absence of HOV’s express written agreement to do so. Except as expressly set forth in this Privacy Policy with respect to your personal information, any plans, information and other materials you submit in connection with this Site may be used or disclosed by HOV for any purpose and in any manner, as HOV determines in its sole discretion. Please consider this carefully before sending HOV any information or other materials that you deem confidential or proprietary.
