2. Visiting this website

This website is hosted on GitHub Pages, a service of GitHub, Inc., 88 Colin P. Kelly Jr. Street, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. When you open the site, GitHub automatically processes technical data your browser sends – such as your IP address, date and time of the request, the page requested, browser and operating system – and logs visitor IP addresses to keep the service secure. We have no access to these logs. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in a reliable and secure website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Data may be processed in the USA; GitHub is certified under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework. How long GitHub keeps this data is set out in the GitHub Privacy Statement.

3. Contacting us and sending pitches

If you email us, we process your email address, your name and whatever you send us – including pitch decks and company information – to reply and to assess a potential investment. Legal basis: steps prior to entering into a contract and our legitimate interest in answering enquiries (Art. 6(1)(b) and (f) GDPR). We keep this correspondence as long as needed for that purpose and delete it when it is no longer required, unless statutory retention duties apply. We do not share pitches with third parties without your consent.

4. Your rights

You have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and to object to processing based on our legitimate interests. Just write to hq@joesmash.ventures.

If you believe we process your data unlawfully, you can lodge a complaint with the Austrian data protection authority: Datenschutzbehörde, Barichgasse 40–42, 1030 Vienna, www.dsb.gv.at.

5. Changes

We update this policy when the website or the law changes. The current version is always available on this page.
