 Effective Date: October 2025

At Sterling Ventures, we are committed to protecting the privacy and security of your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information from visitors to our website (sterlingventures.org) and users of our services. Personally Identifiable Information (PII) refers to data that can identify, contact, or locate an individual. We do not share mobile opt-in data with third parties for marketing purposes, though we may share information with service providers to support customer service and operational needs.

We may collect personal information such as your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, and other details you provide when registering on our site, filling out forms, using live chat, or providing feedback. This information is used to personalize your experience, improve our website and services, administer surveys or contests, process transactions efficiently, follow up after correspondence, and send marketing and promotional messages through calls, emails, or text messages.

To protect your information, we use secure networks accessible only to authorized personnel, and all sensitive information is encrypted via SSL technology. For convenience, we may temporarily store credit card information to expedite future transactions. Our website also uses cookies to remember preferences, track usage for analytics, and enhance user experience. You can disable cookies via your browser, though some features may not function properly.

We do not sell or trade your personal information. We may release information to comply with legal obligations or protect our rights, property, or safety. Non-personally identifiable data may be shared for analytics or marketing purposes. Our website may include links to third-party sites, which have their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their content or practices.

You may access and update your personal information by contacting us, and you may opt out of marketing communications at any time by following instructions in emails or texts. We use Google services such as Google AdSense, which may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits. Users can opt out via Google Ad Settings or the Network Advertising Initiative Opt-Out page. We comply with California’s CalOPPA, allowing anonymous browsing and honoring Do Not Track signals, although some third-party behavioral tracking may occur.

We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13 and do not market to them. Email communications comply with CAN-SPAM requirements, including accurate headers, clear identification of advertisements, inclusion of our physical address, and prompt honoring of opt-out requests.
