Like most websites, FirstVenture.works may collect basic technical information when you visit — including your IP address, browser type, device type, and pages visited. This is collected through standard website analytics and is used only to understand how the website is being used and to improve it.

We do not use tracking cookies for advertising purposes.

We do not use your information for automated decision-making or profiling.

Your information is stored securely. Access to your personal data is limited to the FirstVenture team — currently Philip von Tell — and is not shared with third parties except where necessary to operate the service, as described below.

To operate this website and manage communications, we use a small number of trusted third-party services:
