Privacy

The Internet is an amazing tool. It can change the way we live, and we can see this potential of internet today. You can buy goods and services, follow news, look up facts and communicate with others around the world and all this with only a few mouse-clicks. It’s important for Ventture to help our customers retain their privacy when they take advantage of all the Internet has to offer.

We believe your business is no one else’s. Your privacy is important to you…and to us. So, we’ll protect the information you share with us. To protect your privacy, Ventture follows different principles in accordance with world-wide practices for customer privacy and data protection.

Ventture respects your privacy and is committed to being transparent with you about how we handle personal information.

This Privacy Policy explains how Ventture collects, uses, and shares information about you when you use the Ventture Platform, or otherwise interact with us. It also goes over how you can exercise your privacy rights and choices.

The Ventture Platform is designed to allow Sellers to build, design, publish, and sell courses, coaching, digital products, retail products and other services to their Customers. This Privacy Policy applies when you access or use the services and tools offered through our Platform, or otherwise interact with us.

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully prior to accessing and using Ventture Platform. If you have any questions, please contact us at: [email protected].

Overview

Personal information refers to any information that relates to an identified or identifiable individual. How we handle your personal information will depend on whether we act as a “controller” or as a “processor” for the personal information. The controller is the entity that decides how and why to process personal information. The processor processes personal information on behalf of the controller at the controller’s direction.

Ventture is the controller of personal information that it collects and processes in connection with the use of our marketing site and the Ventture platform. This includes personal information that you provide to us when you create an account on the Ventture Platform, subscribe to a Ventture plan, enroll in a course, purchase a product or service through our Platform, etc. Please refer to the “Personal Information

We Collect” section of this Privacy Policy for more information about personal information that Ventture collects as a controller.

Sellers are the owners of content/product/information that they upload, submit, or otherwise provide to the Ventture Platform (“Sellers Content”) and are the controller with respect to any personal information included in their Sellers Content. Ventture processes Sellers Content on behalf of the Sellers as a processor.

When a Customer enrolls, buys, or access the Seller Content, Ventture will provide the Seller access to a limited set of personal information about the Customer (“Customer Data”) to enable the Seller to provide their services to the Customer. Ventture and Sellers may each use Customer Data for their own business purposes, at all times subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy, the Data Processing Agreement and our Terms of Use. The Seller and Ventture each act as an independent controller with respect to their particular use of Customer Data.

Sellers acknowledge and agree that they are responsible for complying with all applicable laws and regulations related to the protection of personal information for which they are controllers.

What information do we collect about you?

Ventture collects personal information about you in several different ways, depending on how you interact with our Platform. Please note that the types of personal information we collect differs depending on how you’re using our Platform, for example, as a Seller or a Customer.

We collect personal information you directly provide to us. We may also receive personal information about you from others; e.g. from another user or our payment processors.

To use certain features of our Platform (such as to create a course or to enroll in a course), you’ll need to register for an account with Ventture. To do so, you’ll need to provide us with certain personal information, such as your name, email address, and password.

When you subscribe to a paid Ventture plan, we will collect certain personal information from you for the purposes of billing your subscription fees and any payment service fees, such as your business and billing address. You’ll also need to provide certain payment-related information directly to our third party-payment processors, as described below.

If you’re using Ventture’s Native Payment Gateways, you’ll need to link your payment account to our Platform to receive payouts. By linking your account, Ventture will receive certain payment related information about you, including your payment card type and last four digits, postal code, country of origin, payment expiration date, and any email address associated with the payment type. Further, we will collect certain personal information for tax purposes. This tax information may include your full name, address, and registration number.

To purchase a product, course, coaching, or other service through our Platform, you’ll need to provide us with certain personal information, such as your name, address, and information about the service you are purchasing. You may also need to provide certain payment-related information directly to our third party payment processors, as described below.

Third Party Payment Processors. We use third party payment processors like PayPal and Stripe to process payments through the Ventture Platform.

For security purposes, Ventture does not collect or receive any sensitive payment information, such as your complete card number or authentication data. Our third-party payment processors are independent from Ventture and have their own privacy processes. For additional information about how your payment information is processed and stored, we recommend that you review the applicable payment processor’s Privacy Policy.

When you enroll in a course, coaching service, or other Seller’s products, Ventture will collect personal information relating to your participation in the Seller Products, such as courses enrolled in, products/services purchased, quiz results, progress and certifications.

You may allow our Platform to interact with third party services (such as Facebook and Google).
