Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Klok Ventures, LLC ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and safeguards information when you visit klok-ventures.com (the "Site") or contact us about our services. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices.

We collect information you voluntarily provide when you:

• Submit a project inquiry through our intake form (business name, contact name, email address, industry, project description, and related details)
• Request a project quote or consultation (business size, workflow problems, and project goals)
• Communicate with us directly regarding an active project or proposal

When you visit our Site, basic technical information may be collected automatically by our hosting provider (Vercel), including IP address, browser type, pages visited, and time of visit. We do not currently use cookies, tracking pixels, or third-party analytics tools on this Site.

We do not collect payment information directly. We do not collect sensitive personal data such as government identification numbers, health information, or financial account details through this Site.

We use the information we collect solely to:

• Respond to your project inquiry and assess how we can help
• Prepare and send you a project quote or proposal
• Schedule and conduct discovery or project calls
• Communicate updates relevant to an active project or engagement

We do not use your information for marketing purposes without your explicit consent, and we do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for their own commercial purposes.

Information submitted through our intake form is transmitted via Web3Forms, a third-party form processing service, and delivered directly to our email inbox. We do not maintain a separate database of intake form submissions. Project-related communications and documents may also be stored in Google Workspace, used solely for the purpose of delivering your project.

We take reasonable measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, including encrypted data transmission and access-controlled cloud storage. We retain your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. You may request deletion of your information at any time by contacting us at the email address below.

This policy covers information collected through this website. If you engage Klok Ventures for a software project, data you enter into that software (customer records, business content, and similar project data) is governed by the data handling and retention terms in your signed service agreement, not by this policy.

In operating our Site and delivering our services, we may use the following third-party platforms, each governed by their own privacy policies:

• Web3Forms (intake form processing and email delivery) — web3forms.com/privacy
• Vercel (website hosting) — vercel.com/legal/privacy-policy
• Google Workspace (project communications and document storage) — google.com/privacy
• GitHub (code storage and version control) — docs.github.com/privacy-policies

For client projects involving data storage, we will discuss applicable third-party data processors with you prior to deployment.

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Request access to the personal information we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Request deletion of your personal information
• Withdraw consent to further communications at any time

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at cklok5174@gmail.com. We will respond within 30 days.

Our Site and services are not directed at individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a minor, please contact us immediately.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the Effective Date at the top of this document. Your continued use of our Site following any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
