2. PERSONAL INFORMATION COLLECTION AND USE
Our primary goals in collecting Personal Information are for the legitimate business purpose of providing you with a smooth, efficient, and customized experience, to send you information upon your request, and, if appropriate, to collaborate with you as a client.
2.1 Aggregate Data

This information may include which URL you just came from, which URL you next go to, what browser you are using, what features you click on and read (in whole or in part), and your IP address and device. We use such data only in the aggregate. This collective data helps us to determine how much our visitors use parts of the Website, and to do internal research on our users’ demographics, interests, and behavior, so as to better understand and serve you. We may share this aggregate information with third parties.

We seek such information primarily for the legitimate business purpose of communicating with you about our service offerings. In addition, we may use such information for the legitimate business purposes of improving our marketing and promotional efforts, analyzing Website usage, improving our content and service offerings, and customizing our Website’s content, layout and services.
We use 3rd party service providers to facilitate and host the Website and overall operation, and to perform functions on our behalf, such as sending postal mail and email, text messages, analyzing data, and providing customer service. These third parties may have access to your Personal Information as needed to perform their functions, but they may not use it for any other purpose. Alchemy Ventures requires that these 3rd party service providers agree to keep all Personal Information shared with them confidential and secure and to only use your Personal Information to perform their obligations to Alchemy Ventures.
