Privacy Policy

Kinematic Ventures (“Kinematic,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) values your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you visit our website (the “Site”) or otherwise interact with us online.

 

 

1) Information We Collect

 

 

We may collect the following categories of information:

 

A. Information you provide to us

 

  • Contact information (such as name, email address, company, role, phone number)

  • Messages and submissions (such as inquiries, pitch submissions, meeting requests, or other content you send via forms or email)

  • Subscription information (such as newsletter sign-ups and preferences)

 

 

B. Information collected automatically

When you use the Site, we may automatically collect:

 

  • Device and usage data (IP address, browser type, device identifiers, operating system, pages viewed, referring/exit pages, timestamps, and general interaction data)

  • Approximate location (derived from IP address)

  • Cookies and similar technologies (see Section 5)

 

 

C. Information from third parties

If you interact with us through third-party services (e.g., scheduling tools, email providers, analytics platforms, or embedded content), we may receive information from those services consistent with their privacy settings.

 

 

2) How We Use Information

 

 

We use information for the following purposes:

 

  • To operate and improve the Site (performance, troubleshooting, analytics, testing)

  • To respond to inquiries and communicate with you

  • To review pitch submissions or requests to connect

  • To send updates you request (e.g., newsletter or announcements)

  • To maintain security and prevent fraud, abuse, or unauthorized access

  • To comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms/policies

 

 

 

3) How We Share Information

 

 

We do not sell your personal information.

 

We may share information in these situations:

 

  • Service providers: vendors who help run the Site or our business (e.g., website hosting, analytics, form processing, email delivery, scheduling). They may access information only to perform services for us and are expected to protect it.

  • Legal and compliance: if required to comply with law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request; or to protect rights, safety, and security of Kinematic, our users, or others.

  • Business transfers: in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of assets (information may be transferred subject to appropriate protections).

 

 

 

4) Data Retention

 

 

We keep personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to:

 

  • provide the Site and requested services,

  • maintain business records and communications,

  • comply with legal obligations,

  • resolve disputes, and

  • enforce agreements.

 

 

Retention periods vary depending on the type of information and why it was collected.

 

 

5) Cookies and Analytics

 

 

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Site and understand usage.

 

Types of cookies we may use:

 

  • Essential cookies for basic site functionality

  • Analytics cookies to measure traffic and improve performance

  • Preference cookies to remember settings (where applicable)

 

 

You can control cookies through your browser settings. If you disable cookies, parts of the Site may not function properly.

 

Analytics: We may use analytics providers (such as Google Analytics or Wix Analytics) to help us understand how visitors use the Site. These providers may set cookies or collect device/usage data. You can often opt out using browser controls or provider opt-out tools.

 

 

6) Your Choices

 

 

  • Email communications: You can unsubscribe from marketing emails using the link in the email. We may still send non-marketing messages (e.g., replies to inquiries).

  • Cookies: You can manage cookies via your browser settings and, where enabled, any on-site cookie preferences tool.

  • Do Not Track: Some browsers offer “Do Not Track.” The Site may not respond to all DNT signals.

 

 

 

7) Security

 

 

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect information. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

 

 

8) Children’s Privacy

 

 

The Site is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

 

 

9) International Visitors

 

 

If you access the Site from outside the United States, your information may be processed and stored in the United States or other jurisdictions where our service providers operate. Data protection laws may differ from those in your location.

 

 

10) U.S. State Privacy Rights (California and others)

 

 

Depending on where you live, you may have rights such as:

 

  • requesting access to or deletion of certain personal information,

  • correcting inaccurate personal information,

  • opting out of certain processing where applicable, and

  • limiting use of sensitive personal information (if collected).

 

 

Kinematic does not sell personal information and does not share personal information for “cross-context behavioral advertising” in a manner that would trigger opt-out requirements under certain state laws, unless stated otherwise in an updated policy.

 

To make a request, contact us at: [privacy@kinematicventures.com] (or the email in Section 12). We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling a request.

 

 

11) Changes to This Privacy Policy

 

 

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Effective Date” above indicates when it was last revised. Changes take effect when posted on the Site.
