Privacy

This site learns almost nothing about you: it has no forms and no cookies, and it counts visits without knowing who you are. Here's everything worth knowing, in plain language.

Who we are

startupworldcup.i8gl.com describes the Russian route into Startup World Cup. Innov8 Global Advisory is the data controller for everything on this page:

Innov8 Global Advisory
21701 Stevens Creek Blvd #1022
Cupertino, California 95015
USA

For readers in Russia, the operator under Federal Law No. 152-FZ is our Russian company. Its name, address and registration numbers are on the Russian version of this page.

What we collect

Three things, and the last isn't ours.

Your letters
If you write to startups@, partners@, sponsors@ or press@i8gl.com, we keep the letter: your address, your name if you gave it, and whatever you told us or attached.
Visits
The page viewed, the site you came from, your browser, device type, screen size, language and approximate location (country, region and city). We count visits with Umami, which runs on our own server. It sets no cookie and doesn't store your IP address, and a visit isn't linked to your name or to anything you write to us.
The host's server logs
Like any website, this one sits with a hosting provider that keeps ordinary request logs: address, browser, time. We do not collect or analyse them.

Why, and on what basis

We use your letter to answer it - about an application, a venue, sponsorship, mentoring or press. The basis is your own request.

We do not pass your letter to Startup World Cup, Pegasus Tech Ventures, partners, investors or the press without your separate consent. We do not sell data, give it to advertisers or add you to a mailing list you did not ask for.

If you nominate a startup, we contact them only with your consent.

We count visits to learn which pages are read and how people find the site. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in running it (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Who else touches it

Only what the site, the mail and the visit count need to work: the hosting provider, the email service (Google Workspace) and the provider that hosts our visit statistics. Each processes data only on our instructions.

All three operate outside Russia. If it matters to you that your data stays in the country, send us a short first note with no attachments and we will agree another channel.

How long we keep it

Letters
Two years from the last exchange, then deleted. Ask and we delete sooner.
Visits
For as long as the site runs. A visit record holds no name, contact detail or IP address.
Server logs
As long as the provider keeps them; we do not export them.

Your rights

You can ask to see what we hold about you, correct it, delete it or withdraw consent. One letter to info@i8gl.com is enough - no forms, no reasons. A person answers.

If you are unhappy with how we handled it, you can complain to the regulator in your country. We would rather hear it first.

Security, and the honest limit of it

The site runs over HTTPS and stores nothing you type, because there is nothing here to type into.

Ordinary email is not encrypted end to end. Do not put in a first letter what you would not trust to email: a full financial model, unpublished client data. That is what the next step is for.

Children

The programme is for founders and the people who work with them. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under sixteen.

Changes

When forms arrive, or anything changes in how we count visits, this page changes the same day, and so does the date at the top.
