This website is owned and operated by Grotech Ventures (“Grotech Ventures,” “we” or “us”). We recognize that you are concerned about your personal privacy. This Privacy Policy describes the ways in which we collect, use, and disclose information about you in association with your use of our website (https://www.grotech.com) and Grotech Ventures LP Portal (both referred to hereinafter as the “Site”).
For purposes of this Privacy Policy, “personal information” means any information that identifies, relates to, describes, or could reasonably be linked directly or indirectly to you.
This Privacy Policy is current as of the effective date set forth below. Grotech Ventures may change this Policy from time-to-time to reflect changes in privacy practices. By accessing the Site, you consent to the processing of your information as set forth in this Privacy Policy, now and as amended by us.
You may access the Site without providing any personal information (although information may still be collected automatically). However, we may ask you to provide personal information in order to access certain features or content, including but not limited to, email newsletters and updates, or providing credentials to access the Site.
We may collect certain personal information directly from you, such as your name, contact information (e.g., postal and email address), account credentials, marketing preferences, contents of communications, and any other information you voluntarily provide. We may collect this information when you create an account, subscribe to our communications, or contact us with questions, comments, or requests.
We and our service providers may automatically collect information using cookies, which are small text files that the Site saves and accesses on your computer using your web browser, and similar data collection technologies, such as pixel tags, and web beacons (collectively, “Data Collection Technologies”). These Data Collection Technologies collect information such as your IP address, general geographic location, browser type, ISP, device information (e.g., the model and ID of your device), information about your activities on the Site (e.g., pages you view within the Site, pages you view just before and after you access the Site, and the search terms you enter on the Site), and your interactions with our communications (e.g., whether you open and/or forward emails). Some of the Data Collection Technologies we and our service providers use collect information about your online activities over time and across various websites. We use Data Collection Technologies to remember your settings and preferences, learn about your interests, personalize your experience with the Site, analyze Site usage, and improve the Site. You may be able to reject cookies by following directions in your web browser’s “help” settings. If you reject cookies, you may still access the Site. However, some functionality and features may be limited or unavailable.
We also obtain certain information about you from third parties, including publicly-available information. You may choose to interact with social media tools (e.g., like buttons, share buttons, or login services) on the Site or you may choose to interact with us via social media. When you do so, we may collect information from your social media account, such as your friends or contacts, profile picture, birthdate, gender, or other profile-related information and any other information you have opted to share via the platform. The information we obtain from such third-party services depends on your account/privacy settings with those third parties and the third parties’ privacy policies.
We and our services providers may use your personal information for a number of purposes, including to:
You may opt out of receiving marketing communications from us at any time by clicking on the opt-out link in our emails.
We may anonymize your personal information in such a way that you cannot reasonably be identified and may use such anonymized information for our lawful business purposes.
We may share personal information with our affiliates (the Grotech Ventures group of companies); with our third-party service providers, vendors, contractors, and partners for the purposes specified in this Policy; when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights or the integrity of the Site; with potential business transferees (e.g., potential acquirors); to ensure the safety of you or others; or to detect, prevent, or respond to fraud, violations of our Terms and Conditions of Use of the Site or other violations of law; and as required by law.
We may share information that does not reasonably identify you with third parties for our lawful business purposes.
If you visit our Site from outside the United States, please note that U.S. law may not provide the same level of protection for personal information that is provided in your local jurisdiction. Your personal information may be available to the U.S. government or its agencies under a lawful order made in the United States.
As mentioned above, if you no longer wish to receive marketing communications or other emails from us, you may opt out of such communications using the “opt out” link at the bottom of our emails. If you have any other questions, please contact us using contact information provided below.
We do not currently respond to web browser “do not track” signals or other mechanisms that provide a method to opt out of the collection of information across the networks of websites and online services in which we participate. If we do so in the future, we will describe how we do so in this Privacy Policy. Visit www.allaboutdnt.org for more information on this developing area.
We employ administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the information collected through the Site. However, no information system can be 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information. Moreover, we are not responsible for the security of information you transmit to the Site or to Grotech Ventures over networks that we do not control, including Internet and wireless networks.
This website may contain links or may link you to other sites that are not owned or controlled by Grotech Ventures. For example, we provide links to the websites owned and operated by current or historical portfolio companies and links to sources of news articles that we post under our media tab. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of these other sites. Third parties may use your personal information in accordance with their privacy policies, which may differ from ours. We recommend that you carefully review third parties’ privacy policies to understand their privacy and information usage practices. Please refer to our Terms and Conditions for further details.
The Site is not intended for use by anyone under 18 years of age. If you are a parent or guardian of a child from whom you believe we have collected personal information in a manner prohibited by law, please contact us. If we learn that we have collected personal information through the Site from a child without the consent of the child’s parent or guardian as required by law, we will comply with applicable legal requirements to delete the information.
