Privacy notice for the Verana Ventures website.

This page covers how we handle personal information submitted through this site. It is written to match the current launch configuration: a marketing surface with direct contact capability.

Who we are

This website is operated by Verana Ventures. You can contact us at elaine@veranaventures.com. This notice explains how we handle personal information submitted through this site or sent to us directly in connection with it.

What we collect

If you contact us, we may collect your name, email address, company, role, message contents, and any other information you choose to share. We may also receive standard technical logs from the website host needed to operate and secure the site.

How we use it

We use this information to review inquiries, respond to you, understand whether a conversation is relevant to our work, keep a record of business correspondence, and protect the site from misuse.

Lawful basis

For most website and contact interactions, our lawful basis is legitimate interests: running the site, responding to relevant inquiries, and maintaining business communications. If a submission leads to a separate engagement or contractual relationship, we may also process information where necessary to take steps requested by you before entering into a contract.

Who we share it with

We may share information with service providers that help us operate the website or deliver email, such as hosting and communications vendors, and with professional advisers or authorities where required by law.

Analytics and performance

We use Vercel Web Analytics and Vercel Speed Insights to understand aggregate site usage and to monitor performance. These tools are privacy-friendly: they do not set cookies, do not track visitors across sites, and do not collect personal data. They record anonymised page views, referrers, and performance metrics that help us improve the site.

International transfers

Some service providers may process data outside the UK or EEA. Where that happens, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as adequacy regulations or standard contractual clauses, depending on the provider and location.

Retention

We keep website inquiries only for as long as reasonably necessary to review, respond, and maintain an appropriate business record, after which they are deleted or archived according to operational need.

Your rights

Depending on applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, erase, restrict, object to, or request portability of your personal data. You may also complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office if you believe your data has been handled unlawfully. We do not use this site for solely automated decision-making with legal or similarly significant effects.

Current scope of this notice

This notice reflects the current site configuration. It should be reviewed and updated if additional tools such as CRM integrations, newsletters, or other marketing systems are enabled.
