Privacy Policy

Ventron Connect (“we”) is operated by Ventron. This page explains what personal data the service handles and the control you have over it. We design the product with India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 in mind; this page is a plain-language description of our practices, not a statement of legal compliance, and it will be reviewed as the service grows.

Who is who

When you create a profile you decide what goes on it. You are the person who chooses to publish that information; we store and display it on your behalf. When you visit someone’s card, we count the visit as described under “Statistics”.

What we collect from account holders

• Account data: email address, name (optional), and password (stored only as a salted hash by our authentication provider) or Google sign-in identity.
• Profile data you enter: name, title, company, bio, photos, phone numbers, email, address, working hours, date of birth (optional), social and custom links, and appearance settings.
• Account activity: when profiles are published, links are changed, or plans are changed, recorded in an audit log for security and support.

What becomes public

Nothing is public until you publish. Once published, the card shows only the fields you have switched on. Hidden fields are filtered inside our database and are not sent to visitors or included in the downloadable contact file. Photos you upload are served from public storage, so anyone with an image address can open it. Your card is kept out of search engines unless you choose “Allow search engines”.

Statistics on cards (no tracking cookies)

If statistics are enabled for a card, we record the type of event (a view, or a tap on call, WhatsApp, email, website, a social or custom link, save contact, share, directions, review), the link tapped, a coarse traffic source (NFC- or QR-tagged link, search, social, other, or direct), and a one-way hash. The hash is computed from the visitor’s network address and browser details with a secret key that changes daily, so it cannot be reversed and cannot be linked between days. We do not store IP addresses, device identifiers or cookies for this purpose, and we do not record visits from browsers that send Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control. Card owners can switch statistics off per card.

Reports

If someone reports a card, we store the reason, any details they write, and a one-way hash of their network address to limit abuse. Reports are visible to Ventron administrators only.

How we use data

• To provide the service: display your card, generate your QR code and contact file, show you statistics.
• To keep it safe: rate limiting, abuse handling and moderation.
• We do not sell personal data and do not use it for advertising.

Service providers

The service runs on infrastructure providers that process data for us, including a database, authentication and file-storage provider and a web hosting provider. If you sign in with Google, Google shares your basic profile with us.

Your choices and rights

• See and download your data: Account → Download my data.
• Correct it: edit your profile at any time.
• Hide or unpublish: per-field switches, and Unpublish on any profile.
• Delete a profile: permanently, from the profile’s Publishing tab.
• Delete your account: Account → Request account deletion. Your profiles go offline immediately and the account and its data are then permanently deleted. You can cancel before it is carried out. After deletion, your link addresses are retired so they cannot be reused by anyone else.

To raise a concern or ask for help with any of the above, contact Ventron.

Retention

Profile and account data are kept until you delete them. Statistics older than your plan’s history window are removed by a scheduled clean-up. Audit and moderation records may be kept for security purposes after an account is deleted, without profile content.

Children

The service is not intended for people under 18 without a parent or guardian creating and managing the profile.

Changes

We will update this page and its date when our practices change.
