VentureStreet LLC (“VentureStreet,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) values your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes the information we collect, how we use it, and when and to whom we disclose it as you use any of our affiliated websites that link to this Privacy Policy.

The Services are available to both users who create and maintain an account on the Services (“Members”) and users who visit the Services to consume information and submit requests for information (“Consumers”). Through the Services, Consumers can submit basic information to request to be matched with companies in our network or in our partner network. If we match your request to a partner network you agree to accept the terms and conditions and privacy policies of such partner networks (including, but not limited to, Craftjack, Angi, Networx, and eLocal.com). If you are contacted by one of these partner networks and would like to opt out of your service request, please submit your request to that partner network.

By accessing or using the Services, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy, please do not access or use the Services.

The type of information we collect from Consumers includes, but is not limited to, basic contact information such as your name, email address, address, and phone number, and any other information you choose to provide in connection with submitting a quote request or in communicating with us (e.g., information about the project for which you are seeking a service professional). If you choose to participate in a user survey or offer, we may collect additional information from you such as demographic information.

If you are a Member, you understand that the intent of the Services is to participate in a community with other service professionals and Consumers who are seeking service professionals. This participation requires information you provide in connection with your profile and the professional services you offer to be passed to and between other users of the system. You understand your profile information will be viewable by other users of the Services, so please only provide information that you are comfortable with being viewed in this way.

Information from Non-affiliated Third Parties

We may collect information about you or others through non-affiliated third parties. For example, to the extent permitted by law, we may, in our sole discretion, ask for and collect supplemental information from third parties. We may combine information that we collect from you through the Services with information that we obtain from such third parties and information derived from any other products or services we provide.

Information That We Automatically Collect Through Cookies and Other Technologies

As discussed further below, we and our third-party service providers, which include ad networks and analytics companies including Google Analytics, may use cookies, web beacons, and other tracking technologies to collect information about the computers or devices (including mobile devices) you use to access the Services. Through these technologies, we may collect and analyze information including but not limited to: IP address; browser type; operating system; domain names; access times and duration of access; referring or exit pages; page views; unique device identifiers; and the type of device that you use. We use this information (including the information collected by our third-party service providers) for saving your password in password-protected areas, analytics (including to determine which portions of the Services are used most frequently and what our users like/do not like), to assist in determining relevant advertising (both on and off the Services), to evaluate the success of our advertising campaigns, to tailor content to your interests, and as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy. We or our third-party service providers also may use certain of these technologies in emails to our users to help us track email response rates, identify when our emails are viewed, and track whether our emails are forwarded. You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but your browser may allow you to modify your browser settings to disable cookies if you prefer. If you disable cookies, you may not be able to use all parts of the Services.

HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

We may use de-identified or aggregated data for any purpose, including without limitation for research and marketing purposes and may also disclose such data to any third parties, including without limitation, advertisers, promotional partners, sponsors, event promoters, and/or others.

HOW WE DISCLOSE YOUR INFORMATION

We may disclose the information that we collect from you through the Services for our business and operational purposes as follows:

• Service Professionals. Subject to the scope of consent you provide, we will disclose your information to service professionals (located in your designated service area) in our network or our partner networks (including Craftjack, Angi, Networx, and eLocal.com) to fulfill your request for service quotes.
• Affiliates. We may disclose your information to any of our affiliates operated under common ownership or control.
• Service Providers. We may disclose or allow access to your information to third party service providers who perform services on our behalf. These third parties provide a variety of services to us including without limitation billing, sales, marketing, advertising, market research, fulfillment, data storage, analysis and processing, identity verification, fraud and safety protection and legal services.
• Legal Requirements. We may disclose your information when required by law or when we have a good faith belief that such disclosure is necessary to: (a) comply with legal process we receive (e.g., subpoenas, court orders); (b) establish or exercise our legal rights including enforcing and administering agreements with users; or (c) defend ourselves against legal claims.
• Protection of our Services and Others. We may disclose your information when we believe it appropriate to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding possible illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of the Terms of Use or any other legal terms governing use of the Services, and/or to protect our rights and property and the rights and property of other users.
• Business Transfers. As we continue to develop our business, we may sell, buy, merge or partner with other companies or businesses, or sell some or all of our assets. In such contemplated or actual transactions or where there is any change of control, your information may be among the disclosed and/or transferred assets.
• Other users. If you choose to include information on the Services that will be publicly accessible (e.g., your comments, pictures, Member profile), you understand that such information: (a) will be viewable by other users to facilitate the Services; (b) may be collected and used by such other users without our knowledge and not within our control; and (c) may also be accessible through syndication programs and by search engines, metasearch tools, crawlers, metacrawlers, and other similar programs.
• Consent. We may disclose your information in other situations when you provide your consent for us to do so.

ONLINE ANALYTICS AND TAILORED ADVERTISING

Online Analytics

We may use third-party web analytics services on the Services, such as those of Google Analytics. These entities use the technologies described in the “Information We Automatically Collect” section above to help us analyze how users use the Services, and the third-party websites from which they arrive. To prevent Google Analytics from using your information for analytics, you may install the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on.

Tailored Online Advertising

Third parties whose products or services are accessible or marketed via the Services may place cookies or similar technologies on your computer, mobile phone, or other device to collect information about your use of the Services in order to (a) inform, optimize, and serve ads based on past visits to our websites and other sites and (b) report how our ad impressions and interactions with such ads are related to visits to our Services. We also allow other third parties (e.g., ad networks and ad servers such as Google Ads, Facebook, and others) to serve tailored marketing to you and to access their own cookies or other tracking technologies on your computer, mobile phone, or other device you use to access the Services. We neither have access to, nor does this Privacy Policy govern, the use of cookies or other tracking technologies that may be placed on your computer, mobile phone, or other device you use to access the Services by non-affiliated, third-party ad technology, ad servers, and ad networks. Those parties that use these technologies may offer you a way to opt out of targeted advertising as described below. Cookies may also be associated with de-identified data linked to or derived from data you voluntarily have submitted to us (e.g., your email address) that we may disclose to a service provider in hashed, non-human-readable form to serve you with relevant ads as you browse their websites (e.g., Facebook) and the Internet generally.

If you are interested in more information about tailored browser advertising and how you can generally control cookies from being put on your computer to deliver tailored marketing, you may visit the Network Advertising Initiative's Consumer Opt-Out Link and/or the Digital Advertising Alliance's Consumer Opt-Out Link to opt-out of receiving tailored advertising from companies that participate in those programs. To see your options for opting out of Google advertising activities, you can visit the Google Ads Settings page. Please note that to the extent advertising technology is integrated into the Services, you may still receive advertising content even if you opt out of tailored advertising. In that case, the advertising content will just not be tailored to your interests. Also, we do not control any of the above opt-out links and are not responsible for any choices you make using these mechanisms or the continued availability or accuracy of these mechanisms. If your browsers are configured to reject cookies when you visit this opt-out page, or you subsequently erase your cookies, use a different computer or change web browsers, your NAI or DAA opt-out may no longer be effective. Additional information is available on NAI's and DAA's websites, accessible by the above links.

Do Not Track Disclosure. We are committed to providing you with meaningful choices about the information collected on our Services for third party purposes. That is why we have provided links (above) to the NAI "Consumer Opt-Out" link, the DAA opt-out link, and a Google opt-out link. However, we do not currently recognize or respond to browser-initiated Do-Not-Track signals, as Do-Not-Track standards, implementations, and solutions have still not been widely adopted. Please note that Do Not Track is a different privacy mechanism than the legally-required user “preference signal” referenced in the “Your Rights and Choices” section below, which is a browser-based control that indicates whether you would like to opt out of processing of your information for certain purposes, such as the “sale” of your information or the disclosure of your information for targeted advertising purposes, under applicable laws.

YOUR RIGHTS AND CHOICES

a. General Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction of residence, you may have the right to make certain requests regarding your “personal information” or “personal data” (as such terms are defined under applicable law, and collectively referred to herein as “personal information”). Specifically, you may have the right to ask us to:

• Inform you about the categories of personal information we collect or disclose about you; the categories of sources of such information; the business or commercial purpose for collecting your personal information; and the categories of third parties with whom we disclose personal information.
• Provide you access to and/or a copy of certain personal information we hold about you.
• Correct or update personal information we hold about you.
• Delete certain personal information we have about you.

You also may have the right to opt out of “sales” of your information and “sharing/use of your information for targeted advertising” as described below in subsection c.

As provided in applicable law, you also have the right to not be discriminated against for exercising your rights. Please note that certain information may be exempt from such requests under applicable law. For example, we need to retain certain information in order to provide our services to you. We also need to take reasonable steps to verify your identity before responding to a request, which may include, at a minimum, depending on the sensitivity of the information you are requesting and the type of request you are making, verifying your name and email address. You are also permitted to designate an authorized agent to submit certain requests on your behalf. In order for an authorized agent to be verified, you must provide the authorized agent with signed, written permission to make such requests or a power of attorney. We may also follow up with you to verify your identity before processing the authorized agent’s request.

How to exercise your rights. To exercise your rights, please email us at privacy@venturestreet.com or submit this form.

Depending on applicable law, you may have the right to appeal our decision to deny your request, if applicable. If we deny your request, we will provide you with information on how to appeal the decision, if applicable, in our communications with you.

b. Opting Out of Marketing Emails

You can unsubscribe from our marketing emails via the unsubscribe link provided in the emails. Please note that it may take us some time, consistent with our legal obligations, to process your request. Even if you opt out from receiving marketing messages from us, you will continue to receive administrative messages from us, such as order confirmations, updates to our policies and practices, or other communications regarding our relationship or transactions with you.

c. Notice of Right to Opt Out of Sales of Personal Information and Processing/Sharing of Personal Information for Targeted Advertising Purposes

As explained in the “Online Analytics and Tailored Advertising” section above, we provide personal information to third-party advertising providers for targeted advertising purposes, so that we can provide you with more relevant and tailored ads regarding our services, or use analytics partners to assist us in analyzing use of our services and our user/customer base. The disclose of your personal information to these third parties to assist us in providing these services may be considered a “sale” of personal information under applicable law, or, the processing/sharing of personal information for targeted advertising purposes.

If would like to opt out of our disclosure such as through cookie and pixel technology of your personal information for purposes that could be considered “sales” for those third parties' own commercial purposes, or “sharing” for purposes of targeted advertising, please follow the instructions in the “Online Analytics and Tailored Advertising” section above. You can also submit a sale opt-out request to opt out of our disclosures of information that are subject to applicable opt out rights but not cookie/pixel based by filling out the form available here. Please note that we do not knowingly sell the personal information of minors under 16 years of age without legally-required affirmative authorization.

d. Member account de-activation.

If you are a Member, you can request that we de-activate your public profile. Please contact us at the contact information below to make such request.

PRIVACY INFORMATION FOR CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) requires us to provide you with the following additional information about: (1) the purpose for which we use each category of “personal information” (as defined in the CCPA) we collect; and (2) the categories of third parties to which we (a) disclose such personal information for a business purpose, (b) “share” personal information for “cross-context behavioral advertising,” and/or (c) “sell” such personal information. Under the CCPA, “sharing” is defined as the targeting of advertising to a consumer based on that consumer’s personal information obtained from the consumer’s activity across websites, and “selling” is defined as the disclosure of personal information to third parties in exchange for monetary or other valuable consideration. We “share” information to provide more relevant and tailored advertising to you regarding our Services. Our use of third-party analytics services and online advertising services may result in the sharing of online identifiers (e.g., cookie data, IP addresses, device identifiers, and usage information) in a way that may be considered a “sale” under the CCPA. The following chart details our practices in this regard.

For more information about each category, purpose of use, and the third parties to which we disclose or share information, please see the “Information we Collect” “How We Use Your Information,” and “How We Disclose Your Information” sections above.

Your Choices Regarding “Sharing” and “Selling”: You have the right to opt out of our sale/sharing of your personal information for purposes of online targeted advertising through cookies and pixels by following the instructions in the “Online Analytics and Tailored Advertising” section above. You can also submit a sale opt-out request to opt out of our disclosures of information that are subject to applicable opt out rights but not cookie/pixel based by filling out the form available here.

Other CCPA Rights. The CCPA also allows you to limit the use or disclosure of your “sensitive personal information” (as defined in the CCPA) if your sensitive personal information is used for certain purposes. Please note that we do not use or disclose sensitive personal information other than for business purposes for which you cannot opt out under the CCPA.

Please see the “Your Rights and Choices” section of our Privacy Policy information about the additional rights you have with respect to your personal information under California law and how to exercise them.

Retention of Your Personal Information. Please see the "Retention of Your Information" section of our Privacy Policy.

The California “Shine the Light” law gives residents of California the right under certain circumstances to request information from us regarding the manner in which we share certain categories of personal information (as defined in the Shine the Light law) with third parties for their direct marketing purposes. We do not share your personal information with third parties for their own direct marketing purposes.

SECURITY

We employ physical, administrative, and technological security measures to help protect your information against unauthorized access and disclosure. No security measures, however, are 100% failsafe. Therefore, we do not promise and cannot guarantee, and thus you should not expect, that your information will not be collected, disclosed and/or used by others. You should take steps to protect against unauthorized access to your password, devices, and computer by, among other things, signing off after using a shared computer, choosing a robust password that nobody else knows or can easily guess, keeping your log-in and password private, and not recycling passwords from other websites or accounts.

RETENTION OF YOUR INFORMATION

We keep your information for no longer than necessary for the purposes for which it is processed. The length of time for which we retain information depends on the purposes for which we collected and use it and/or as required to comply with applicable laws.

THIRD PARTY LINKS AND FEATURES

The Services may contain links to other websites or features over which we do not have any control. Such links do not constitute an endorsement by us of those external websites. You acknowledge that we are providing these links to you only as a convenience, and that we are not responsible for the content of such external websites or features or the information you provide while visiting such external websites.

CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

As our business, technology, and legal requirements change, we reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy. The Privacy Policy will be current as of the “Last Updated” date at the top of this document and we encourage you to check this page frequently. If we make any material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will provide you with notice and choice in accordance with applicable legal requirements. Continued use of the Services following these changes (and following any legally-required notice process) means you agree to the changes.

INTERNATIONAL TRANSFER

Our Services and servers are currently based in the United States, meaning that your information will be processed by us in the United States, where data protection and privacy regulations may not offer the same level of protection as in other parts of the world. By registering to create an account and/or by using the Services, you agree to the transfer of all such information to the United States, and to the processing of that information as described in this Policy.

CONTACT US

If you have any questions about the Privacy Policy or the Services, please contact us by sending an email to privacy@venturestreet.com or by writing to us at 5415 Lake Howell Road #153, Winter Park, FL 32792.
