Privacy Policy

Effective September 14, 2026.

Effective date: September 14, 2026.

Privacy Policy

Strategic Venture Studio (SVS) is operated by GEMMA ZF. This Privacy Policy explains how SVS handles personal information through this website, the Contact form, the Growth Handoff Check, communications, and related business operations.

Information you may provide

When you contact SVS or request a package, SVS may receive your name, company, email address, industry, goals, message, package interest, price range shown on the site, marketing preference, source page, referral information and UTM data.

When you complete the Growth Handoff Check, SVS may receive your name, email address, business model, assessment answers, uncertainty selections, category scores, overall score, score band, primary and secondary handoffs, service recommendation, language, source and attribution information.

Technical, security and analytics information

Cloudflare may process request information needed to deliver and protect the website, such as IP address, request headers, security signals and timing information. The intake endpoint also processes a submission identifier, form-start time and honeypot value for duplicate and abuse prevention.

SVS may use Google Analytics to understand website usage and Google Search Console to understand search performance. If non-essential analytics technologies are activated, SVS will use them subject to applicable consent and privacy requirements. Search and analytics providers may process device, browser, usage and approximate-location information according to their own terms and privacy notices.

How SVS uses information

  • Respond to inquiries, package requests and service questions.
  • Deliver and discuss Growth Handoff Check results.
  • Recommend a relevant SVS service or next step.
  • Operate client engagements and maintain business records.
  • Prevent spam, abuse, fraud and accidental duplicate submissions.
  • Send optional marketing only when separate marketing consent has been provided or another lawful basis applies.
  • Measure and improve website and marketing performance when analytics is lawfully enabled.

Service providers

SVS currently uses or may use Cloudflare for hosting and security, Make for workflow automation, Resend for transactional email, Zoho Mail for business email, Google Analytics and Google Search Console for analytics/search performance, and FastSpring and/or Airtm for payment processing when those payment options are enabled. Other providers may be added when reasonably necessary to operate the business. Payment providers process payment information under their own privacy terms; SVS does not ask you to place full card, bank-account or payment credentials into the public Contact form or Growth Handoff Check.

International processing

SVS serves clients remotely and its providers may process information in the United States or other countries. Privacy protections may differ by location. Where applicable law requires a particular transfer mechanism or safeguard, SVS will use an appropriate available mechanism or provider arrangement for that processing.

Retention

  • General inquiries and Growth Check records: normally up to 24 months after the last meaningful interaction, unless a shorter or longer period is reasonably necessary.
  • Client, contract, invoicing, payment and business records: normally up to 7 years after the engagement ends, or longer when required for tax, accounting, legal or dispute purposes.
  • Security and technical records: normally up to 12 months, unless needed longer to investigate abuse, security events or legal claims.
  • Marketing records: until you unsubscribe or SVS no longer needs the record. SVS may retain a minimal suppression record so an opt-out can continue to be honored.

SVS may delete or anonymize information earlier when it is no longer reasonably needed and may retain information longer when required by law or necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

Your privacy requests

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, withdrawal of consent, or information about the handling of personal information. These rights are subject to applicable law and legitimate retention requirements. Requests may be sent to hello@strategicventure.studio.

Marketing choice

Marketing consent on the website is optional and is not required to request information, receive a Growth Check result or discuss an SVS service. You may opt out at any time using the method provided in the message or by contacting SVS.

Sensitive information

Do not submit patient or medical records, full financial-account details, government-identification numbers, passwords, authentication codes or other highly sensitive information through the public website forms or Growth Handoff Check.

Younger founders and children

This is a general-audience business website and is not directed to children. SVS may work on a business project involving a younger founder, but when a person cannot legally enter the engagement or authorize payment on their own, a parent, legal guardian or other legally authorized adult must handle the contract, payment and required permissions. If SVS learns that personal information was collected online from a child in circumstances where parental consent or another legal requirement applies, SVS will take appropriate steps, which may include obtaining required authorization or deleting the information.

External links

The website may link to third-party websites and services. Their privacy practices are governed by their own notices and controls.

Security

SVS uses reasonable technical and operational safeguards appropriate to the website architecture, but no internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Policy changes

SVS may update this Privacy Policy as the website, providers or legal requirements change. The effective date will be updated when changes are published. When a material change reasonably requires direct notice to affected active clients or subscribers, SVS may provide notice by email or another appropriate channel.
