Privacy Notice

This notice applies to personal information collected through 168-ventures.com, including contact forms, account registration, Oracle, the free business assessment, and communications related to those services. A signed client agreement may include additional privacy, confidentiality, security, or data-processing terms.

• Contact information: name, work email, company, phone number, and message content.
• Business assessment information: company, industry, size, systems, workflows, challenges, goals, budget range, timeline, and website.
• Account information: registration, authentication, profile, and account activity needed to provide protected features.
• Technical information: device, browser, IP address, logs, and similar security or diagnostic information collected by the site and its service providers.
• Client project information: information supplied under a separate engagement, governed by the applicable agreement.

We also receive information you choose to send by email, phone, or during a meeting.

• Respond to inquiries and schedule discovery conversations.
• Generate and store requested Oracle or business-assessment outputs.
• Operate accounts, client portals, and contracted services.
• Diagnose problems, prepare scopes, and communicate about requested services.
• Secure, maintain, troubleshoot, and improve the website and services.
• Comply with law, enforce agreements, and protect people, systems, and rights.

Oracle and the business assessment use AI service providers to process the information you intentionally submit and generate a response. AI output can be incomplete, inaccurate, or based on assumptions. It is a first-pass aid and should be reviewed by qualified people before consequential decisions are made.

Oracle does not silently access your email, CRM, files, or other business systems. If a future engagement requires an integration, the purpose, permissions, responsible parties, and data boundaries will be defined before access is authorized.

We may share information only as reasonably necessary with:

• Hosting, authentication, database, CRM, communication, analytics, security, and AI service providers that support the services.
• Professional advisers or subcontractors subject to appropriate obligations.
• Authorities or other parties when required by law or reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, or systems.
• A successor in a merger, financing, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, subject to applicable law.
• Other parties at your direction or with your consent.

We do not sell personal information for money.

We keep information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described above, including responding to inquiries, providing services, maintaining records, resolving disputes, securing systems, and meeting legal obligations. Retention can differ by record type and client agreement. You may request deletion, subject to legal, security, contractual, and backup requirements.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to protect information. No internet transmission, storage system, or security control is guaranteed to be completely secure. Project-specific requirements are documented separately when an engagement involves regulated or sensitive data.

The website and its service providers may use cookies, local storage, and similar technology needed for authentication, preferences, security, performance, and operation. If we introduce nonessential advertising or expanded analytics technology, we will update the notice and provide controls where required.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or a copy of personal information, and to object to certain processing. We may need to verify your request and may retain information where permitted or required. You can also opt out of non-transactional marketing messages using the method included in the message.

The website and services are intended for business users and are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through these experiences.

We may update this notice as the website, services, or legal requirements change. The effective date at the top identifies the current version. Material changes may also be communicated through the website or another appropriate channel.
