PrivacyPolicy.

This policy explains what information dan-ventures.com (the “Site”), run by Dan Ventures (“Dan,” “we,” “us”), collects, how it is used, and the choices you have. We keep this simple: we collect as little as we can.

What we collect

• Contact form. When you send a message, we store the name, email address, company (if given) and message you enter, along with the approximate country, IP address and browser type your request came from. The IP address is used to prevent spam and abuse.
• Newsletter sign-up. If you subscribe, your email address is sent to our newsletter provider, Buttondown, which sends you a confirmation email and manages your subscription.
• Site analytics. We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count visits and see which pages are read. It does not use cookies and does not track you across other websites.
• Emails and social messages. If you email us or message us on social media, we receive whatever you choose to send.

How we use it

We use this information only to read and reply to your message, send newsletters you asked for, keep the Site secure and working, and understand in general terms how the Site is used. We do not sell or rent your personal information, and we do not use it for targeted advertising.

Who we share it with

Only with the service providers that run the Site for us: Cloudflare (hosting, security, message storage and analytics) and Buttondown (newsletter). They handle data on our behalf under their own privacy terms. We may also disclose information if the law requires it, or to protect our rights or the safety of others.

Cookies

The Site does not set advertising or tracking cookies. Cloudflare may use strictly necessary security measures to protect the Site from abuse.

How long we keep it

We keep contact messages for as long as needed to respond and keep a reasonable record of our correspondence. Newsletter subscriptions last until you unsubscribe, which you can do from the link in any email.

Your choices and rights

You can ask to see, correct or delete the personal information we hold about you by emailing dan@dan-ventures.com. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under local law, and we will honor requests as that law requires.

Children

The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.

Security

We use reasonable safeguards, including encrypted connections (HTTPS), to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it last changed.
