Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how JV Corner ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares information in connection with the JV Corner platform and waitlist. It applies to this website and, once available, the JV Corner mobile application.

1. Information We Collect

Waitlist information

If you join the waitlist, we collect the email address you provide. If you choose to share more (optional), we may also collect your first name, role, matching intent, location preference, primary market, experience level, funding timeline, and whether you indicated enterprise interest — all self-reported and optional beyond your email. Joining the waitlist is governed by this Privacy Policy; it does not require or imply acceptance of our Terms of Service.

Attribution information

We may record how you arrived at the site: UTM campaign parameters (source/medium/campaign/content/term) present in the URL, an external referring page (not recorded for links within our own site), and a landing-page variant label. This is "first touch" information — recorded once per visit and not overwritten by later visits.

Account and profile information (platform, once launched)

When account creation is available, we collect the information you provide to create a profile, post a deal, or describe your role as an investor or partner. Claims you make about capital, credit, experience, completed transactions, licensing, or deal status are self-reported by you and are not independently verified by JV Corner unless a specific feature is explicitly labeled as verified.

Deal and property photos (platform, once launched)

Once account creation is available, you may optionally upload property or deal photos as part of a Deal Profile (up to 5 photos per profile). Uploading photos is optional and user-initiated — nothing is captured automatically, and we do not collect profile photos for Partner or Future Partner accounts.

Uploaded photos are processed as needed to operate the service, including resizing/ normalization and removal of embedded metadata such as EXIF and GPS location data. Photos are stored with a private cloud storage provider (see "How We Share Information" below) and served through short-lived, signed access links rather than public URLs.

Deal Profile photos may be displayed to other users through relevant JV Corner matching and deal-detail features. They are not published to a public gallery or public member directory.

Messages

If messaging is available and you connect with another user, we store the content of those messages to operate the conversation feature. If one participant deletes their account, message content is generally preserved so the other participant's conversation history is not altered — see "Account Deletion" below. Messages included in a report are also retained as part of that report, described next.

Reports and support requests

If you report another user or contact support, we collect the information you provide in that report or request, and may retain related context for moderation and audit purposes.

Payment information

Subscription payments made on the web are processed by Stripe. If you subscribe through the Apple App Store on iOS, that payment is processed by Apple, and we receive subscription status and transaction information from Apple's App Store Server API to verify and manage your subscription. We do not store your full card number or bank details, whether you pay through Stripe or Apple. We retain limited billing records (such as subscription status, billing interval, and provider-issued identifiers) needed to operate and reconcile your subscription.

Analytics and tracking

Analytics integrations (Google Analytics 4, Meta Pixel, LinkedIn Insight) exist in the codebase but their tracking IDs are currently unset, meaning no analytics or advertising tracking is currently active on this site. If activated in the future, this policy will be updated first to describe what is collected and how to control it.

Separately, the JV Corner mobile and web application includes PostHog (product analytics) and Sentry (crash and error monitoring) integrations. Both are code-complete but currently inactive because no tracking key or error-reporting key has been configured — the same status as the analytics tools above. If activated, this policy will be updated first to describe what is collected and how to control it.

Cookies and local storage

We use your browser's sessionStorage (cleared when you close your browser tab/session) to remember first-touch attribution information for your current visit. We do not currently set tracking cookies. This will be revisited if/when analytics tools above are activated.

Technical and request data

Our own application does not read, log, or store your IP address or user agent as part of a waitlist submission. Separately, our hosting provider and any backend infrastructure necessarily process standard web request information (such as IP address) to operate the site and apply abuse protections like rate limiting — that processing is performed by, and governed by the practices of, those infrastructure providers, and is distinct from what JV Corner's own application stores.

2. How We Use Information

  • to operate the waitlist and notify you about launch and onboarding;
  • to operate account, matching, messaging, and subscription features once available;
  • to process payments through Stripe;
  • to detect and prevent abuse (for example, rate limiting and honeypot spam detection on the waitlist form);
  • to respond to support requests and investigate reports; and
  • to understand how visitors reach the site (attribution), and — only once activated and disclosed — for analytics/marketing measurement.

3. How We Share Information

We share information with service providers who process it on our behalf, currently including:

  • Stripe — payment processing for web subscriptions.
  • Apple — payment processing and subscription verification for subscriptions purchased through the Apple App Store on iOS.
  • Vercel — website hosting.
  • Railway — backend application server hosting.
  • Cloudflare (Cloudflare R2) — private cloud storage and hosting infrastructure for uploaded Deal Profile photos.
  • A transactional email service provider — used to send account, billing, and support-related emails. We have not yet finalized the specific vendor name to list here.
  • PostHog and Sentry — product analytics and crash/error monitoring for the JV Corner mobile and web application; code-complete but not currently active; will be added here with specifics if activated.
  • Analytics providers (Google Analytics 4, Meta Pixel, LinkedIn Insight) — not currently active; will be added here with specifics if activated.

We may disclose information if required by law, to protect the rights and safety of users or the public, or in connection with a business transfer (such as a merger or acquisition), subject to this policy or a successor policy.

4. Data Retention

Waitlist records. Our intended policy is to retain waitlist records for up to 12 months after a period of inactivity, after which they would be deleted or anonymized. This retention window reflects our target policy, but the automated process that would enforce it has not yet been built — until that automation exists, waitlist records are not automatically deleted or anonymized and may be retained longer than 12 months. We will update this section once automatic enforcement is in place, and this approach may also be subject to legal exceptions not yet finalized.

We have not yet finalized specific retention periods for account, messaging, moderation, and billing records. This section will be updated with defined retention periods before this policy takes effect.

5. Account Deletion and Waitlist Removal

Once accounts are available, you will be able to delete your account from your account settings. Deleting your account ends your access immediately; we immediately attempt to cancel any active subscription with our payment processor as part of deletion.

You may delete an individual uploaded Deal Profile photo at any time; doing so permanently removes it and its stored copies. Deleting your account also permanently removes any Deal Profile photos you uploaded and their stored copies. Your Deal Profile itself may remain in an anonymized or hidden form where needed for the retained record categories described below (for example, if it is linked to a report or message history).

Some records are retained after deletion, in de-identified or limited form, including:

  • conversation/message history, so that other participants' conversation history is not altered by your deletion;
  • reports you filed or that were filed against you, and related moderation and administrative-action records;
  • support requests you submitted;
  • internal audit records of account-access changes; and
  • billing records (such as subscription status and payment event history), retained for accounting purposes.

To request removal from the waitlist before self-service accounts are available, email support@joinjvcorner.com. Requests are currently handled manually until a self-service removal option exists.

6. Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards designed to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Children's Privacy

JV Corner is intended for users 18 years of age and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post material changes on this page before they take effect.
