Your privacy matters to us. This policy explains what personal data we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
1. What data we collect

- Cookie data. First-party and third-party cookies and similar technologies (see section 3).
- Voluntarily provided information. If you email us, join our newsletter, or submit a startup for coverage, we receive the contact details you choose to share (e.g., name, email, company, pitch deck).
2. How we use the data
- Operate, secure, and maintain the Website
- Measure readership and improve editorial content (aggregated analytics only)

3. Cookies & similar technologies
We use cookies to recognise repeat visitors, analyse traffic, and personalise ads. You can control cookies in your browser settings; refusing cookies may limit site features.
Third-party advertising. We work with advertising partners who serve ads on this site. These partners may use cookies, device identifiers and similar technologies to deliver and measure advertising, including personalised advertising where permitted. You can manage your consent choices through the privacy settings link on this site and through your browser or device settings.
4. Analytics
We currently use Google Analytics 4 to understand aggregate reader behaviour. Google Analytics may set cookies or read existing cookies to collect anonymous traffic data. You can opt out via this browser add-on.
5. Log files
The web server automatically records standard log-file information (IP address, timestamp, user-agent, referring page) for security, diagnostics, and fraud-prevention. Logs are rotated and deleted within 12 months unless needed for legal reasons.
6. Data retention
We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purpose it was collected, or to comply with legal obligations.
7. Data security
We follow industry-standard practices (HTTPS, access controls, regular patching) to protect data in transit and at rest. No Internet transmission is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. International visitors
Our servers are located in the United States and/or the European Union. If you access the site from outside those regions, you consent to transferring your data to, and processing in, those locations.
9. Your privacy rights

- California residents (CCPA/CPRA). You may request to know, delete, or opt out of “sale”/“sharing” of your personal information. We do not knowingly sell personal data, but display advertising may be considered “sharing” under California law. To exercise rights, email the address below.
10. Children’s privacy
The Website is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If you believe we have mistakenly collected such data, please contact us so we can delete it.
