Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 5/11/2026

AND THEN VENTURES LLC (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information when you visit our website, interact with our services, or communicate with us.

By using our website, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

Scope

This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through our website and any related online services, communications, or forms operated by AND THEN VENTURES LLC. As a tech incubator, we may collect information from founders, startup applicants, collaborators, vendors, customers, website visitors, and other business contacts. California law does not provide a general B2B exemption for all business contact information, so business-related contact data may still be covered.

Information We Collect

We may collect the following categories of personal information:

  • Identifiers, such as name, email address, phone number, mailing address, and online identifiers.
  • Commercial information, such as inquiries, application details, service interests, and transaction records.
  • Internet or network activity information, such as IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and interaction data.
  • Professional or employment-related information, such as company name, title, industry, and startup details.
  • Audio, visual, or similar information, if you choose to submit it.
  • Inferences drawn from the information above, where permitted by law.

We may collect this information directly from you, automatically through your browser or device, from service providers, or from third parties you authorize us to use. California privacy rules require businesses to disclose the categories collected and the sources from which they are obtained.

How We Use Information

We may use personal information for the following business and commercial purposes:

  • Operating, maintaining, and improving our website and services.
  • Reviewing incubator applications, inquiries, and partnership opportunities.
  • Communicating with you about programs, opportunities, updates, and support.
  • Sending marketing or informational messages, where permitted.
  • Analyzing website usage and performance.
  • Protecting against fraud, unauthorized access, or misuse.
  • Complying with legal, regulatory, and contractual obligations.

California privacy notices should explain the business purposes for which information is collected and used.

How We Share Information

We may disclose personal information to:

  • Service providers that help us host, operate, analyze, secure, or market our website and services.
  • Professional advisors, such as lawyers, accountants, and consultants.
  • Business partners, where needed to evaluate or provide incubator-related opportunities.
  • Government authorities, regulators, or law enforcement when required by law.
  • Successors or acquirers in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets.

We do not intentionally disclose personal information except as described in this Policy or with your consent.

Cookies and Analytics

We may use cookies, pixels, analytics tools, and similar technologies to understand how visitors use our website, improve performance, and personalize content. You can usually control cookies through your browser settings, but some website features may not function properly if cookies are disabled. California privacy rules expect clear notice about online tracking and related data collection practices.

California Privacy Rights

If you are a California resident, you may have the right to:

  • Know what personal information we collect, use, disclose, share, or sell.
  • Request deletion of personal information.
  • Request correction of inaccurate personal information.
  • Request access to specific pieces of personal information.
  • Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, if applicable.
  • Limit the use and disclosure of sensitive personal information, if applicable.
  • Not be discriminated against for exercising your privacy rights.

California law also requires businesses to provide specific notice of these rights and methods for submitting requests.

Do Not Sell or Share

We do not sell personal information for money. However, some website analytics, advertising, or tracking activities may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information under California law depending on how they are configured.

If applicable, California residents may opt out by contacting us at the email address below with the subject line “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information.” If we use advertising or tracking tools that trigger this obligation, we will provide a clear opt-out mechanism on our website. California guidance specifically references a “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” opt-out for covered businesses.

Sensitive Information

We do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes other than those permitted by law, unless we disclose otherwise in this Policy or obtain your consent. California rules also require a clear explanation of how consumers may limit use of sensitive information where applicable.

Requests and Verification

To exercise your California privacy rights, contact us at the email below. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request and may request additional information reasonably necessary to confirm your identity and residency. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.

Retention

We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.

Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. No security system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children

Our website is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected such information, we will delete it as required.

Our website may contain links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the effective date at the top of the page and post the updated policy on our website.
