1. Information We Collect
We collect information you provide directly when you register, verify your account, apply for funding, back a startup, or otherwise interact with OpenSeed. Common examples include your name, email address, wallet address, and any financial or transactional data required to process USDC transfers. We also collect certain technical data (such as device, browser, and IP information) and activity data (such as pages viewed and actions taken) to operate and improve the service.
2. How We Use Information
We use information to provide, maintain, and improve our services; to process and record transactions; to communicate about your account, activity, or platform updates; and to provide customer support. We may also use aggregated or de-identified data for analytics and product improvement.
3. Data Sharing & Service Providers
We may engage trusted service providers to support platform operations (for example, payment processors, analytics providers, hosting, and blockchain relayers). These providers only receive the data necessary to perform their services and are contractually required to protect it. We will not sell personal data.
4. Cookies & Tracking
We use cookies and similar technologies for essential platform functionality, analytics, and to personalize your experience. You can control certain cookies via your browser settings; however, disabling some cookies may limit functionality.
5. Data Retention
We retain personal data for as long as necessary to provide services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Retention periods vary by data type and legal requirements.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold about you, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below. We will respond in accordance with applicable law.
7. Security
We employ administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to help protect personal data. While we strive to protect your information, no security measures are perfect; please use caution when sharing sensitive information.
8. Children
Our services are not intended for children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children; if you believe we have collected such data, please contact us and we will take steps to remove it where appropriate.
