Welcome to plainsightventures.co (the “Website”), operated by Plain Sight Ventures. This Privacy Policy explains the privacy practices for Plain Sight Ventures, and its affiliates (collectively, “Plain Sight Ventures,” “we”, “us”, or “our”).
Unless specified otherwise, this Privacy Policy applies to your personal information (described below) processed by Plain Sight Ventures as a data controller, on or via the Website.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to the extent we process personal information in the role of a processor or service provider on behalf of our customers, including where we offer Plain Sight Ventures’s online workplace productivity tools, platform and services (the “Services”) to our customers, and various other products and services through which our customers (or their service providers and affiliates) send electronic communications, or otherwise collect, use, share or process personal information via our products and services.
When applications, platforms, extensions or other solutions that are provided by us and link to this Privacy Policy, this Privacy Policy applies. When these offerings are provided by third parties, the privacy policy of the third party applies and this Privacy Policy does not.

We may share information with any successor to all or part of our business. This may occur in the acquisition, in whole or in part, of Plain Sight Ventures, or in a sale of some or all of Plain Sight Ventures’s assets, a merger, a bankruptcy, or other transition of the business.
We will share information if you ask that we share your Personal information with a third party.

This section supplements the information contained in this Policy and applies solely to all visitors, users, and others who reside in the State of California (“consumers” or “you”). We adopt this notice to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA) and any terms defined in the CCPA have the same meaning when used in this Policy.
Our Website collects personal information as disclosed above, and has done so in the last twelve (12) months.
We use information that we collect about you or that you provide to us, including any personal information as set forth above in this Policy.
The CCPA provides consumers (California residents) with specific rights regarding their personal information. This section describes your CCPA rights and explains how to exercise those rights.
You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information over the past 12 months (the “right to know”). Once we receive your request and confirm your identity, we will disclose to you:
You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions (the “right to delete”). Once we receive your request and confirm your identity, we will review your request in accordance with the CCPA, and delete or deidentify your personal information, and direct our service providers to take similar action, in accordance with the requirements of the CCPA. We may also deny your deletion request under certain circumstances, but will provide you with feedback when we deny such requests.
To exercise your rights to know or delete described above, please submit a request at the contact information provided below.
Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a request to know or delete related to your personal information.
You may only submit a request to know twice within a 12-month period. Your request to know or delete must:
Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information.
Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.
We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you.
You do not need to create an account with us to submit a request to know or delete.
We will only use personal information provided in the request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make it.
We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to an additional 45 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.
Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding our receipt of your request. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance, such as by the email address that you provided.
We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights.
We currently do not provide any financial incentives.
If you are a California resident, the Shine the Light law permits California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, please contact us at the information below.
