Revolution (“we”,  us”) knows your privacy is important to you, and it is important to us too. This Privacy Policy explains the types of information we collect through www.revolution.com (the “Site”), and our digital or online properties or services that link to this Privacy Policy (such as our social media pages) as well as our marketing activities, and other activities described in this Privacy Policy, how we will use it, and how we share or disclose it. 

Please review this Policy to make sure you understand how any personal information you provide us will be handled by Revolution. We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will let you know by posting the changed Privacy Policy on this page. In some cases, for example, if we make any significant changes, we may contact you directly about them, such as by sending you an email if we have your email address. Any changes will be effective immediately upon posting to the Site. Any reference to “Revolution” refers to various affiliated entities using the Revolution® or Rise of the Rest® name and not a single entity.

We are located in the United States. If you are a non U.S. user of the Site, your Personal Information may be processed in the country in which it was collected and in other countries, including the United States, where laws regarding processing of Personal Information may be less stringent than the laws in your country.  

What information do we collect on the site?

We collect two general types of information from Site users: (1) information collected automatically concerning your use of the Site and (2) personal information collected from you or third parties that identifies or can be used to identify or contact an individual.

Information Collected Automatically: As is the case with many websites, our Site automatically collects your browser type and IP address when you visit the Site. In addition, we use certain tracking technologies (e.g., cookies, local shared objects, and pixel tags) and website analytics tools to monitor and better understand user behavior on the Site. Data captured may include, for example, the referring page that linked you to the Site, the country from which you are conducting your browsing session, the next website you visit when you leave the Site, and any search terms you have entered on the Site or a referral site. Such data does not identify you personally.

Please see our Cookie Policy for more information on the cookies and similar tracking technologies we use, and how we use and share this information.

• Cookies: We may collect information using “cookies.” Cookies are small data files stored on the hard drive of your computer or mobile device by a website. 
• Pixel tags: We may also use pixel tags (which are also known as web beacons and clear GIFs) on our Site to track the actions of users on our Site. Unlike cookies, which are stored on the hard drive of your computer or mobile device by a website, pixel tags are embedded invisibly on webpages. Pixel tags measure the success of our marketing efforts and compile statistics about usage of the Site, so that we can manage our content more effectively. The information we collect using pixel tags is not linked to our users’ personal information.
• Local storage technologies, like HTML5, that provide cookie-equivalent functionality but can store larger amounts of data on your device outside of your browser in connection with specific applications. 
• Web beacons, also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs, which are used to demonstrate that a webpage or email was accessed or opened, or that certain content was viewed or clicked. 

Personal Information: Personal information means information that allows someone to identify or contact you, including, for example, your name, email, address, city and any other non-public information about you that is associated with or linked to your personal information. 

• Contact information: We may collect your email address and, if you choose to provide, certain other information, such as name, company, and city of residence. 
• Marketing information: We may collect your preferences for receiving marketing communications from us and details about your engagement with our marketing activities.
• Communications information based on our exchanges with you, including when you contact us through the Service, communicate with us via email, phone, social media, or otherwise. 
• Investor and business information: We may also collect names, addresses, or other types of personal information from our investors and business partners to help verify that they are authorized to access the pages of the Site dedicated to them, if any such pages exist. ROTR event-related information: If you apply to a ROTR event (including but not limited to, a pitch competition, bus tour event, summit, conference or other gathering related to the ROTR platform or fund, any of the foregoing being a “ROTR Event”), you may submit personal information in connection with submitting information about your business, including but not limited to your name, email, city of residence or headquarters, and professional or social media profile. If you apply for a ROTR event, we share your information with our third party service provider who administers the application and registration process for us.
• Other information: We may collect other data not specifically listed here, which we will use as described in this Privacy Policy or as otherwise disclosed at the time of collection.
  ‍

Personal Data of Children:  We do not knowingly collect or solicit Personal Data from anyone under the age of 18.  If you are under 18, please do not attempt to register on the Site or send any Personal Data about yourself to us.  If we learn that we have collected Personal Data from a child under age 18, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that a child under 18 may have provided us Personal Data, please email us at media@revolution.com.

For example, we may need to share certain personal information with prospective counterparties and their advisers.

Security

While we employ a number of controls designed to protect the security and integrity of Personal Information in our care, due to the inherent nature of the Internet as an open global communications vehicle, we cannot guarantee that any information, during transmission through the Internet or while stored on our system or otherwise in our care, will be absolutely safe.

Retention

We retain Personal Information about you for as long as you remain a subscriber to our email marketing list or as necessary to provide the Site to you.   In some cases we retain Information Data for longer, if doing so is necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes or collect fees owed, or is otherwise permitted or required by applicable law, rule or regulation. Afterwards, we may retain anonymized and aggregated data.

Links to third-party web sites

Our Site may contain links, banners, widgets, or advertisements that lead to other websites, including personal blogs written or edited by members of our staff. We are not responsible for these other websites or the accuracy thereof, and so their privacy policies (not this Policy) will govern the collection and use of your information on them. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of those websites to understand how your information is treated there.

Information Collected From Other Websites and Do Not Track Policy

Through cookies we place on your browser or device, we may collect information about your online activity after you leave our Site.  Just like any other usage information we collect, this information allows us to improve the Site and customize your online experience, and otherwise as described in this Privacy Policy.  Your browser may offer you a “Do Not Track” option, which allows you to signal to operators of websites and web applications and services (including behavioral advertising services) that you do not wish such operators to track certain of your online activities over time and/or across different websites.  Our Site does not support Do Not Track requests at this time, which means that we collect information about your online activity both while you are using the Site and after you leave our Site.
