Privacy Policy

Start Up Partners (“SUP,” “we,” “us”) is a venture studio based in Birmingham, Alabama, operating the website at sup.ventures. This policy explains what we collect when you visit the site or reach out, and what we do with it.

Questions about your privacy can go straight to Terry at terry.chapman@sup.ventures.

When you use the contact form or email us, you choose to share details such as your name, email address, what you are building, your stage, and the message you write. We only receive what you send.

Like most websites, our host records standard technical information automatically, such as your IP address, browser type, and the pages you view. This helps keep the site running and secure.

We use what you send to reply to you, understand whether we are a good fit to help, and follow up about working together. We use technical logs to operate, secure, and improve the site.

We do not sell your information, and we do not send marketing emails to people who have not asked to hear from us.

We share information only with the service providers that help us run the business, such as our website host and email provider, and only as needed to deliver those services. We may also disclose information if the law requires it.

The site uses minimal cookies needed for it to function. If we add analytics to understand which pages are useful, we keep it privacy-respecting and aggregate. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time.

We keep the messages and contact details you send for as long as we need them to help you or stay in touch, then we delete them. We take reasonable steps to protect your information, though no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure.

You can ask us what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Email terry.chapman@sup.ventures and we will take care of it.

This site is meant for founders and business owners. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.

If we update this policy, we will change the date at the top of this page. Please check back from time to time.
