Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly to us, such as when you create an account, update your profile, use our company research tools, or contact us for support. This includes your name, email address, and any preferences you set within your OpenPublicHub account.

We also collect information automatically when you use our platform, including your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and search queries. This data helps us understand how our platform is used and improve the experience for all users.

When you interact with company profiles, save bookmarks, or use our comparison tools, we collect usage data to personalize your research experience and surface relevant recommendations.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to provide, maintain, and improve our services, including our company intelligence tools, funding data features, and competitive analysis capabilities. Your information helps us personalize your experience, recommend relevant companies and industries, and communicate with you about updates, new features, and promotions.

We may also use your data to detect and prevent fraud, enforce our terms of service, and comply with legal obligations. Aggregated, anonymized data may be used to improve our platform and produce industry research reports.

3. Information Sharing

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We may share your information with trusted service providers who assist us in operating our platform, such as hosting providers, analytics services, and payment processors. These providers are contractually required to protect your data and may only use it to perform services on our behalf.

We may also share information when required by law, to protect our rights, or in connection with a merger or acquisition.

4. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your personal information, including encryption in transit and at rest, regular security audits, and access controls. While no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, we take reasonable steps to safeguard your data against unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure.

5. Your Rights

You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information at any time through your account settings. You may also opt out of marketing communications by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email we send. If you are located in the European Economic Area, you have additional rights under the GDPR, including the right to data portability and the right to restrict processing.
