Last updated: November 18, 2025

Privacy Statement

This website is owned and operated by Good Ventures. Its purpose is to share information about our work as a grantmaker. Good Ventures is committed to protecting your privacy.

Personal Information

While we do not require registration to view our website or access information, we may collect certain personal information in three main forms: information that we collect from our web server logs, information provided through the use of cookies, and information that you volunteer to us.

Web Server Log Information

We may collect information from our web server logs. Such information could include:

  • Your Internet protocol address
  • The kind of browser or computer you use
  • The number of links you click within the site
  • The state or country from which you accessed the site
  • The date and time of your visit
  • The name of your Internet service provider
  • The web page through which you linked to our site
  • The pages of our site that you viewed

Cookies

Additionally, we may use cookies to personalize or enhance your user experience. A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. For example, if you personalize a web page, or navigate within a site, a cookie helps the site to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of delivering relevant content and eases site navigation by saving your preferences and login information as well as providing personalized functionality. Good Ventures reserves the right to share aggregated site statistics with partner organizations, but we do not allow other organizations to place cookies on our website. You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies. If you reject cookies by changing your browser settings, this may disable some of the functionality on our website.

Personal Information Provided by You

We may occasionally ask for your feedback via surveys or other communications to better understand your interests and needs. We might also request information through online forms for contacting our staff, subscribing to our newsletter and other purposes. Additionally, we may ask you to disclose personal information to us so that we can provide assistance and information to you. For example, such data may be warranted in order to provide online technical support and troubleshooting. We will not disclose personally identifiable information we collect from you to third parties without your permission except to the extent necessary including:

  • To fulfill your requests for services from us
  • To protect ourselves from liability
  • To respond to the legal process or comply with the law
  • In connection with a merger, acquisition, or liquidation of the organization

When We Might Share Personal Information

We use third-party analytics tools and services to help us measure traffic and usage trends for the Website. When you visit the Website, these tools collect information sent by your browser or mobile device, including the pages you visit and other information related to your time spent on the Website. We collect and use analytics information such that it cannot reasonably be manipulated to identify any particular individual user.

We do not share personal information with unaffiliated third parties for their own marketing purposes or sell personal information.

We may share certain personal information with our service providers as reasonably necessary, such as Google Analytics, and with sub-contractors, partners, vendors, and service providers acting on our behalf.

Third Party Sites

Throughout our website(s), we offer links to third party sites. Since we do not control those websites, we do not control what information they collect, or what they do with such information. As such, we encourage you to review their privacy policies as well.

Changes to this Policy

We may occasionally update this privacy policy. When we do, we will revise the “updated” date at the top of this privacy page. We encourage you to periodically review this privacy policy to stay informed about how we are helping to protect the personal information we collect. Your continued use of the service constitutes your agreement to this privacy policy and any updates.

Communications

If at any time you wish to stop receiving Good Ventures’ electronic newsletters or other communications, or to be removed from our email list, you may unsubscribe from that list as explained in each message.

Questions and Comments

We welcome comments and questions on this policy. To share feedback or to request information from Good Ventures, please send an email to info@goodventures.org.
