We only collect information that you voluntarily submit to us through our forms and direct communications. We do not use cookies, tracking pixels, or web analytics tools to gather information about your visit, and we do not purchase or collect personal information from data brokers or other outside sources.

SMS and Text Message Communications

We may send SMS messages related to meetings, events, deadlines, and time-sensitive organizational updates. Text messaging is offered to our members and applicants who have affirmatively consented to receive it.

Consent: Consent to receive text messages is not a condition of membership, funding consideration, or any purchase.

Message frequency: Message frequency varies based on organizational activity.

Rates: Message and data rates may apply, depending on your mobile carrier and plan.

Opting out: You may cancel text messages at any time by replying STOP to any message you receive from us. After you reply STOP, we will send one confirmation message and will not send additional text messages unless you opt in again.

No sharing of SMS consent data: Mobile phone numbers and text messaging consent data collected for SMS purposes will not be shared with, sold to, or rented to any third parties or affiliates for their own marketing or promotional purposes. This exclusion applies to all categories of information sharing described elsewhere in this Privacy Policy.

How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information in the following limited circumstances:

  • Service providers: with vendors that help us operate, including email and SMS platforms, event registration tools, payment processors, and cloud storage providers. These providers may only use the information to perform services for us.

  • Members and applicants: when a startup applies for funding, we share application materials with our members and affiliated due diligence participants so they can evaluate the opportunity. Applicants should assume that submitted materials will be reviewed by multiple individuals within our network.

  • Legal requirements: when required by law, subpoena, regulatory request, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Ark Angel Alliance, our members, or others.

As stated above, text messaging originator opt-in data and consent are excluded from all sharing described in this section.

Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the information we collect. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Data Retention

We retain personal information as long as needed to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, maintain organizational records, and satisfy legal, tax, and regulatory obligations.

Your Choices

You may:

  • Unsubscribe from marketing emails using the link at the bottom of any email

  • Reply STOP to any text message to stop receiving SMS from us

  • Contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, subject to our record retention obligations

Children's Privacy

Our website and programming are intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18.

Third-Party Links

Our website may link to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites.

Investment-Related Notice

Information provided on our website and in our communications is for informational and educational purposes only. It does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any security, and it is not investment, legal, or tax advice. Ark Angel Alliance does not make investment recommendations, and investing in early-stage companies involves substantial risk, including the possible loss of your entire investment. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
