Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 3, 2026

Glass Carter ("Glass Carter," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information in connection with our websites, applications, and services, including VentureOS, our AI-powered venture research and opportunity validation platform.

1. Information We May Collect

Information you provide

We may collect information you voluntarily provide to us, such as your name, email address, company information, messages, and other information you choose to submit when contacting us or using our services.

Technical and usage information

When you visit our websites or use our services, we may automatically receive limited technical information such as IP address, browser and device information, operating system, referring pages, approximate geographic information, timestamps, and information about how our services are used. We use this information for security, reliability, troubleshooting, and service improvement.

Third-party API data

VentureOS may connect to third-party platforms and APIs to conduct authorized business research and opportunity analysis. Depending on the integrations enabled, this may include marketplace, search, trend, community, supplier, or other commercially relevant data.

2. Pinterest Data

VentureOS may use the Pinterest API to obtain information that Pinterest makes available through authorized API access for the purpose of analyzing market and consumer-interest trends.

Our intended Pinterest use is limited to data necessary for research, trend analysis, and product-opportunity validation. We do not request or access private Pinterest Pins or Boards for this use case. We will not ask you for your Pinterest password or use Pinterest session cookies to access your account.

If Pinterest provides access to additional data or capabilities in the future, we will use that data only as permitted by Pinterest's applicable developer terms, API policies, and the permissions authorized for the application.

3. How We Use Information

We may use information to:

• Operate, maintain, secure, and improve our websites and services;
• Research products, markets, trends, and business opportunities;
• Analyze and validate commercial opportunities using multiple data sources;
• Detect, prevent, and investigate fraud, abuse, security incidents, and technical problems;
• Respond to inquiries and provide support;
• Comply with applicable laws, regulations, and valid legal requests; and
• Perform other purposes disclosed at the time information is collected.

4. How We Share Information

We do not sell personal information for money. We may share information with service providers and technology vendors that help us operate our websites, infrastructure, security, analytics, communications, and authorized API integrations. These providers may process information only as necessary to provide services to us and subject to applicable contractual or legal requirements.

We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with law, enforce our agreements, protect our rights or safety, investigate abuse or security incidents, or protect users and the public.

5. Third-Party Services

Our services may interact with third-party platforms such as Pinterest, Google, eBay, Etsy, supplier platforms, hosting providers, analytics providers, and other services used by VentureOS. Those services have their own privacy policies and terms. Information processed directly by a third-party service is subject to that service's policies and applicable authorization and API rules.

6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our websites may use cookies or similar technologies that are necessary for functionality, security, session management, or analytics. You can generally control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality.

7. Data Retention

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including to provide services, maintain security, satisfy legitimate business needs, resolve disputes, and comply with legal obligations. Retention periods may vary depending on the type and sensitivity of the information and the requirements of applicable third-party platforms.

8. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

9. Your Choices and Rights

Depending on where you live and applicable law, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including rights to request access, correction, deletion, or information about how your data is processed. Requests can be submitted using the contact information below. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling a request.

10. Children's Privacy

Our services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can take appropriate steps.

11. International Processing

Depending on the services and infrastructure we use, information may be processed in countries other than the country in which you reside. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for such transfers.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above. Material changes may also be communicated through our website or other appropriate means.
