A plain-language overview of how Next Venture handles member data at launch.
This is the launch baseline for the current product. It is meant to be readable now and become more detailed as the platform grows.
What we collect
We collect the account details, profile information, messages, applications, posts, feedback, and usage data needed to run Next Venture. You choose what you publish on your profile, and some activity is visible to other members as part of the product.
How we use it
We use this data to operate the network, personalize discovery, support applications and messaging, keep the service secure, investigate abuse, and communicate about product activity related to your account.
How it is shared
Your public profile, posts, and other member-facing activity are shared within the product according to the feature you use. We may also share data with service providers who help us host, secure, email, and support the platform.
Retention and deletion
We keep account and activity records for as long as they are needed to operate the service, investigate abuse, and meet legal or audit needs. The current launch version includes a soft-delete flow so members can remove their public profile while preserving internal records needed for safety and compliance work.
Children
Next Venture is for adults. You must be at least 18 years old to create an account or use the platform.
Updates
We may revise this policy as the product evolves. If we make material changes, we will update the effective version and continue improving the controls behind it.
