Privacy Policy

Last Updated: August 19, 2026

Maude’s Ventures respects your privacy and is committed to being transparent about how information is collected, used, and shared when you visit our website, submit an application, subscribe to communications, or otherwise interact with us.

Information We Collect

We may collect information that you voluntarily provide to us, including your name, email address, contact information, organization or project information, application responses, and other information you choose to provide through our forms.

We may also automatically collect certain information about your use of the website, such as browser type, device information, pages visited, approximate geographic location, referring website, and interactions with our website through analytics technologies.

Applications and Forms

When you complete and submit an application or other form through our website, we collect the information you provide in order to review your submission, administer our programs, communicate with you, and respond to your requests.

Completed application information may be processed through third-party service providers that assist us with managing submissions and communications, including Beehiiv.

Partial and Incomplete Forms

Some forms on our website may save information as you complete them. This means information you enter may be collected and retained even if you do not complete or formally submit the form.

Partial form information may be stored using Google Sheets and related Google services. We may use this information for administrative purposes, to understand where applicants encounter difficulty in the application process, to improve our forms and programs, or, where appropriate, to follow up regarding an incomplete submission.

Email Subscriptions and Communications

If you subscribe to Maude’s Ventures news, updates, or other email communications, the information you provide may be processed and stored through Beehiiv, our email communication platform.

You may unsubscribe from marketing or newsletter communications at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in those emails.

Unsubscribing from marketing communications may not prevent us from sending non-marketing communications that are necessary to respond to an inquiry, administer an application, or communicate with you about a program in which you are participating.

How We Use Your Information

We may use information collected through the website to operate and maintain the website; review and administer applications; communicate with applicants, subscribers, and other visitors; provide information about our programs and initiatives; improve our website, forms, and application process; analyze website usage and performance; protect the security and integrity of our website and systems; and comply with applicable legal obligations.

Analytics and Cookies

We may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the website and understand how visitors interact with it.

We use Google Analytics to help us understand website traffic and usage. Google Analytics may collect information such as pages visited, interactions with the website, device and browser information, and general location information.

Where required or enabled through our cookie management system, non-essential analytics technologies will be used according to your cookie preferences. You can review or change your cookie preferences through the Cookie Settings option available on our website.

For additional information, please review our Cookie Policy.

Service Providers

We may use third-party companies and service providers to help operate our website, administer programs, manage applications, store information, analyze website usage, and communicate with visitors and applicants.

These providers may include Google, including Google Analytics, Google Sheets, and related Google services; Beehiiv for application processing and email communications; website hosting and security providers; and other technology providers necessary to operate our website and programs.

These providers may process information on our behalf according to their own privacy practices and applicable contractual or legal requirements.

How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share information with service providers that perform services on our behalf, with organizations or individuals involved in administering or evaluating our programs where appropriate, when required by law or legal process, when necessary to protect the rights, safety, or security of Maude’s Ventures or others, or when you direct or authorize us to share information.

Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including administering applications and programs, maintaining appropriate records, communicating with participants and subscribers, complying with legal obligations, and resolving disputes.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the purpose for which it was collected.

Data Security

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect information collected through our website. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Third-Party Websites

Our website may contain links to websites or services operated by third parties. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security, or content of those third-party websites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing personal information.

Your Choices

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information. You may also contact us to ask questions about information you have provided, request updates or corrections, or inquire about deletion of information where appropriate.

You can unsubscribe from newsletter and marketing emails using the unsubscribe link included in those communications. You can also manage applicable cookie preferences through the Cookie Settings option on our website.

Children’s Privacy

Our website is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children except where information is appropriately submitted in connection with a program designed for younger participants and with any consent required by applicable law.
