SeedAngels – Privacy Policy
Technologies SeedAngels Inc. ("Company", "SeedAngels", or "We") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it by complying with this policy.
This policy applies when we act as the controller of your personal data, in other words, when we determine the purposes and means of processing your personal data.
This policy describes:
- How we collect, use, disclose, and protect the personal data of our clients and website users ("you").
- The types of data we may collect from you or that you may provide when you visit the website https://seedangels.ai and/or our web application https://app.seedangels.ai (individually or collectively, our "Platform").
- Our practices regarding the collection, use, retention, protection, and disclosure of such data.
We will only use your personal data in accordance with this policy, unless required otherwise by applicable law. We take steps to ensure that the personal data we collect about you is adequate, relevant, not excessive, and used for limited purposes.
Privacy laws generally define "personal data" as any information about an identifiable individual, which includes data that can be used alone or with other information to identify, contact, or locate a single person. Personal data does not include business contact information, such as your name, title, or business address.
This policy applies to data we collect, use, or disclose about you:
- On this Platform.
- In emails, texts, and other electronic messages between you and this Platform.
- On our social media accounts.
- Through mobile and desktop applications you download from this Platform, which provide dedicated interaction without a web browser between you and this Platform.
- When you interact with our advertisements and applications on third-party websites and services, if those applications or advertisements contain links to this policy.
The Platform may include links to third-party websites, plug-ins, services, social networks, or applications. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. If you follow a link to a third-party website or engage a third-party plugin, please note that these third parties have their own privacy policies and we do not accept any responsibility or liability for those policies. We do not control these third-party websites and encourage you to read the privacy policy of every website you visit.
Please read this policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding the collection, processing, and storage of your data. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, you may choose not to use our Platform. By accessing or using this Platform, you indicate that you understand, accept, and consent to the practices described in this policy. This policy may be amended from time to time. Your continued use of this Platform after we make changes indicates that you accept and consent to those changes. We therefore invite you to check the policy periodically for updates. Where possible, we will inform you in advance of any significant changes to this policy and obtain your consent for any new method of collecting, using, and disclosing your personal data.
