Privacy Policy

Updated January 1, 2024

Thank you for choosing to be part of our community at FounderWell, a brand and d/b/a of Access Altitude LLC, Colorado limited liability company (the “Company”, “FounderWell”, “we”, “our”, or “us”). We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. We have prepared this Privacy and Cookie Policy (the “Policy”) to describe how we collect, process, use, share and secure the personal information you provide on our website located at www.FounderWell.com, through email, text and other electronic communications with us, and in connection with the services we provide (collectively, the “Platform”). This Policy also describes your choices regarding use, access, and correction of your personal information. For purposes of this Policy, personal information shall mean any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.

This Policy applies only to information we collect, process and use through the Platform. This Policy does not apply to information that we collect through other channels, such as information that we collect offline or through any website or application operated by a third party, even if such website or application links to or from the Platform.

Please read this Policy carefully as it will help you make informed decisions about sharing your personal information with us. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, you should not use our Platform. By accessing or using any part of our Platform, you agree to this Policy. This Policy may change from time to time. Your continued use of the Platform after we make changes is deemed to be acceptance of those changes, so please check the Policy periodically for updates. If you have any questions, concerns or complaints about this Policy, our data collection or processing practices, or if you want to report any security violations to us, please contact us at legal@founderwell.com.

Information We Collect: We collect information about you to provide our services. In order for us to best provide our services to you (and to help make it feasible for us to do so), it is essential that we are able to collect and use the information as described in this Policy. This means that the data collection is largely necessary for fulfilling the relationship we have with you, and where that is not the case, we have a legitimate interest in collecting the information described below.

Information You Provide to Us: We collect personal information that you provide to us, including when you sign up for an account (an “Account”), such as your name, username, alias/avatar-name,email, passwords and security data. We may also collect additional information that you choose to provide depending on how you interact with the Platform, including phone number, address, personal or professional details, profile information, financial information, company reviews, personal and/or professional goals, personal statements, personal and/or professional history, employee profile information, references, comments, opinions, messages, social media login data or other materials in any form. In addition, we may collect information through questionnaires, emails, text messages, other electronic messages, teleconferences, videoconferences, and other means of communication. If you post a photo or video to your Account, we collect that as well. Because we change our offerings and features from time to time, the options you have to provide us with personal information also may change.

In certain circumstances, such as when you complete a form related to a particular service offering, we may ask you to provide additional information. We also collect and store certain information associated with actions you take. For example, when you may seek strategic guidance, or advice on company matters, we store the individual, organizational details of the challenges/opportunities you share with us and recommendations we make. Our coaches and other service providers may create notes based on information you provide, and we collect that as well. We may also store information about the guidance and content that you are interested in and subscribe to, the time and duration of your activity on our Platform, and other information about your behavior on our Platform.

If you sign up for any paid services, we may collect payment information directly from you. If you enter credit card information on the Platform in connection with a purchase, that information is sent directly from your browser to the third-party service provider we use to manage credit card processing and we do not store it on our servers. For example, we may use the payment services of Stripe (https://stripe.com/ ) or HubSpot (https://hubspot.com). For more information on how payments are handled, or to understand the data security and privacy afforded such information, please refer to https://stripe.com/privacy or https://legal.hubspot.com/privacy-policy respectively.

Information from Third-Party Companies: We may receive information about you from other sources, some of which may not be publicly available. Examples of these sources include credit reporting agencies, social media sites, our affiliates, analytics providers, data brokers, and identity verification and compliance service providers. The Platform may allow users to share information with us via third-party services, applications, and social networking sites, such as HubSpot, Circle, Qwoach, Zoom, Zapier, Airtable, VideoAsk, Typeform, Google, LinkedIn, Facebook, Facebook Messenger, Instagram, Pinterest, or Twitter (each an “SNS”). In some cases, you can sign into the Platform using your SNS account information. By sharing your SNS profile, you are allowing us to access some of your SNS information as allowed by you (such as profile information and profile photo). We may receive that information from your SNS profile, and that information may be imported to the Platform.

Our Platform also allow you to share information via such SNS profiles, such as referral links. Any information that we collect from your SNS account may depend on the privacy settings you have set with the Social Networking Site, so please consult the SNS’s privacy and data practices. You have the ability to disconnect your SNS account from your FounderWell Account by adapting the privacy settings in your SNS account.

If you come to the Platform through a SNS, from other websites or with devices that enable third parties to collect information from or about you, such third parties receive information about you subject to their privacy policies. When you submit personal information to a third party and are informed at the time of collection that your information may be shared with us, we may collect that information for lawful marketing purposes.

Information We Collect Automatically: When you use the Platform, your electronic device automatically provides certain information to us. The type of information we collect by automated means generally includes technical information about your electronic device, such as your IP address or other device identifier, the type of device you use, and operating system version.

That information may include the URLs of our web pages that you visited, URLs of referring and exiting pages, page views, time spent on a page, number of clicks, platform type, location data (if you have enabled access to your location on your mobile device), and other information about how you used the Platform.

We use Cookies to remember users’ settings as well as for authentication and analytics.

Device Information: We collect information about the device you use to access the Platform, including type of device, operating system, settings, and unique device identifiers, and IP address. Whether we collect some or all of this information often depends on what type of device you’re using and its settings. For example, different types of information are available depending on whether you’re using a Mac or a PC, or an iPhone or Android phone. We collect the device type and any other information you choose to provide, such as username, geolocation, or email address. We also use mobile analytics software to allow us to better understand the functionality of our mobile software on your phone. This software records information such as how often you use the application, the events that occur within the application, aggregated usage, performance data, and where the application was downloaded from. We do not link the information we store within the analytics software to any personally identifiable information you submit within the mobile application.

You will continue to receive generic ads by companies not listed with these opt-out tools.

Please note: If ads or other features on the Platform are provided by third parties, those parties set and use their own Cookies that are subject to those third parties’ privacy notices and policies. FounderWell does not have access to, or control over, these Cookies. Also, if you respond to ads posted by third parties or submit information to third parties via the Platform, such third parties receive information about you subject to their privacy policies.

Do Not Track Signals: We do not currently respond to ‘do not track’ signals and similar settings or mechanisms. When you use the Platform, we try to provide a customized experience.

How Long We Keep Your Personal Information‍

We keep your personal information only so long as we need it to provide the Platform to you and fulfill the purposes described in this Policy. This is also the case for anyone that we share your personal information with and who carries out services on our behalf. Retention periods can vary significantly based on the type of information and how it is used. Our retention periods are based on criteria that include legally mandated retention periods, pending or potential litigation, our intellectual property or ownership rights, contract requirements, operational directives or needs, and historical archiving. When we no longer need to use your personal information and there is no need for us to keep it to comply with our legal or regulatory obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements, we’ll either remove it from our systems or depersonalize it so that we can’t identify you.

Security Safeguards
