What happens with your data.

The short version

No cookies. No ad tracking. Your five taps, your star and your Blueprint answers stay in your browser on your device. Three things leave your device, and only when you choose: a pitch, a booking, and a payment.

What stays on your device

The site keeps a few things in your browser's local storage so they are there when you come back: your answers while you are mid-way, your star, your Blueprint answers, and a draft of your pitch until you send it. Clearing your browser data removes them. The browser inside an app like Instagram keeps its own copy, separate from your main browser.

What leaves your device

A pitch. Your idea, your next step, your name and your email go to our hosting company's form service (Netlify), which emails them to us. We keep them to read and reply. We never sell them or use them for ads.

A booking. The calendar on the Conversation page is run by Microsoft Bookings, shown inside the page. The name, email and time you enter go to Microsoft and to our calendar. Microsoft's own privacy terms apply inside it.

A payment. Buying the Blueprint takes you to Stripe. Stripe handles your card under its own terms. We never see card numbers. Stripe tells us your email so we can help if you lose your Blueprint address.

Hosting

The site is hosted by Netlify, which keeps normal server logs, such as the address of the device that asked for a page, to run the service safely. We look at Netlify's page counts to see how many people visit. They do not identify you.

Scripts and fonts

Every script, style and font loads from this site itself. No other company's code runs here, apart from the booking calendar and the payment page you choose to open.

Your rights

To see, fix or delete what we hold about you, email m@valuevenus.com. We answer every request.

Age

This site is for adults. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 16.
