Privacy Policy

Who we are

INNOVOX is operated by HEADSTART SILICON VALLEY, INC (“INNOVOX,” “we,” “us” or “our”). This policy applies to innovox.news and the forms and services made available through it.

Information we collect

We may collect information you provide directly, including your name, email address, company, role, location, links, event details and the content of your message or application. The fields collected depend on the form you choose to submit.

When you use the site, our hosting and analytics providers may automatically receive technical information such as your IP address, browser and device type, approximate location, referring page, pages viewed, timestamps and interactions with the site.

Analytics and cookies

With your permission, we use Google Analytics to understand site traffic and improve INNOVOX. Google Analytics may use cookies or similar technologies and process information about your device and use of the site. Analytics is disabled by default until you accept it. You may reject analytics without losing access to the site and can change your decision at any time through “Cookie settings” in the footer. You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Google provides additional information about how it uses data from sites that use its services.

Forms and communications

Some forms are processed by FormSubmit, a third-party form delivery service. When you submit one of these forms, the information you enter is transmitted through that provider and delivered to us by email. Please do not send passwords, financial details, government identifiers or other sensitive information through our forms.

How we use information

• To operate, secure, maintain and improve the site.
• To understand readership and site performance.
• To respond to questions, pitches, applications, partnership requests and event submissions.
• To evaluate submissions and administer editorial or event-related activities.
• To detect misuse, protect our rights and comply with legal obligations.

How we share information

We may disclose information to vendors that support hosting, analytics, form delivery, email and site operations; to professional advisers; when required by law; or in connection with a corporate transaction. These providers may process information under their own terms and privacy policies. We do not sell personal information for money. We also do not knowingly use personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Retention

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including responding to a submission, maintaining business records, resolving disputes, enforcing agreements and meeting legal obligations. Retention periods vary by the type and context of the information.

International processing

INNOVOX is US-based and serves a global audience. Information may be processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate. Privacy laws in those locations may differ from the laws where you live.

Your privacy choices and rights

Depending on where you live and the law that applies, you may have rights to request access to, correction of or deletion of certain personal information, or to object to or restrict certain processing. You may also have the right to appeal a decision or contact a local privacy authority. To make a request, email info@innovox.news. We may need to verify your identity and may retain or decline a request where permitted by law.

Children

The site is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided such information, please contact us so we can review and remove it where appropriate.

Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures designed to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Third-party sites

Our reporting may link to news sources, event organizers, research, social platforms and other third-party websites. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, not this policy.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as our services or legal obligations change. We will post the revised policy here and update the effective date. Material changes may also be highlighted on the site when appropriate.
