Venture Along is a brand operated by Ascendro LDA, a company registered in Portugal. When you use our website or purchase our services, you are entering into an agreement with Ascendro LDA. Our NIF and registered country are displayed in the footer of venturealong.com.

For questions about this policy, contact us at legal@venturealong.com.

2. What Information We Collect

• Contact information you provide: name, email address, phone number, and company name

• Payment information: processed securely by Stripe — we never store your card details

• Usage data: pages visited, time on site, and browser type (via cookies and analytics tools)

• Communications: messages, enquiries, or session notes shared with us

3. How We Use Your Information

4. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

If you are located in the EU/EEA, we process your data on the following legal bases:

• Legal obligation: to comply with applicable law (e.g., tax and accounting requirements)

5. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal data. We may share it with trusted third-party service providers who help us operate our business (e.g., Stripe for payments, scheduling tools, email platforms) — all bound by their own privacy and data protection obligations.

Where third-party providers are based outside the EU (including in the U.S.), we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with GDPR requirements.

6. Your Rights

Under GDPR you have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or port your data, and to object to processing. You may also lodge a complaint with Portugal's data protection authority at cnpd.pt.

U.S. Clients

Depending on your state, you may have similar rights under applicable state privacy laws (e.g., CCPA for California residents). We honor these requests regardless of your location.

To exercise any of these rights, email legal@venturealong.com. We will respond within 30 days.

7. Cookies

We use cookies to understand how visitors use our site. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some features may not work as expected. A cookie consent banner will appear on your first visit.

8. Data Retention

We retain your personal data for as long as necessary to deliver our services and meet legal obligations — typically up to 7 years for financial and tax records, in line with Portuguese law.

9. Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.
