This Privacy Policy describes LeapYear Ventures LLC’s policies and procedures on the collection, use, and disclosure of your information when you use the website and explains your privacy rights.

Information we collect

We may ask you to provide personally identifiable information that can be used to contact or identify you, including:

• Email address
• First and last name
• Phone number
• Information you choose to provide through an inquiry or application
• Usage data

Usage data may include an IP address, browser and device information, pages visited, visit time and duration, unique device identifiers, and diagnostic data.

Cookies and tracking technologies

We may use cookies, pixels, tags, and scripts to operate the website, remember preferences, understand usage, measure communications, and improve the service. Cookies may be session cookies that expire when the browser closes or persistent cookies that remain until they expire or are removed.

You can instruct your browser to refuse cookies or indicate when a cookie is sent. Some website functions may not work as intended without essential cookies.

How we use personal data

We may use personal data to:

• Provide, maintain, secure, and improve the service.
• Manage accounts, applications, registrations, and requests.
• Contact you by email, phone, or similar communication about a request or service.
• Provide relevant news, program information, and opportunities unless you opt out.
• Analyze usage trends and the effectiveness of communications.
• Comply with law, enforce agreements, prevent wrongdoing, and protect users and the Company.

Sharing information

We may share information with service providers that help operate, secure, analyze, or communicate through the service; with affiliates and business partners subject to appropriate obligations; in connection with a business transaction; when required by law; or for another purpose with your consent.

Retention and transfer

We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Information may be processed in locations outside your state or jurisdiction where privacy laws differ. We take reasonable steps to require appropriate controls for those transfers.

Access, correction, and deletion

You may contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information you provided. We may need to retain certain information when required by law or when another lawful basis applies.

Security

The security of personal data is important to us. No method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security, but we use commercially reasonable safeguards appropriate to the information and service.

Children’s privacy

The service is not directed to anyone under age 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from a child under 13. A parent or guardian who believes a child has provided personal data should contact us. Where applicable law requires parental consent, we may require it before collecting or using information.

Links to other websites

The service may link to websites not operated by LeapYear. We do not control and are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those third parties. Review the privacy policy of any third-party service you use.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time by posting a new version and changing the “Last updated” date. Where appropriate, we may also provide notice by email or through the service.
