Who we are
Entrepreneurial Capital LLC (“Entrepreneurial Capital,” “we,” “us”) is an investment firm based in Chicago, Illinois. This policy explains what information we collect through this website, entrepreneurialcapital.com, how we use it, and the choices you have. If you have any questions, email us at general@entrepreneurialcapital.com.
Information you give us
We collect the information you submit through this site: your name, email address, and message when you use our contact form; your name, email, phone number, and business details when you apply to a program such as the Trades Accelerator; your email address when you subscribe to our newsletter; and your name, email, and selected time when you book a call through our scheduling tool.
Information collected automatically
When you visit the site, we and our service providers automatically collect information about your visit using cookies and similar technologies. This includes your IP address, browser and device type, the pages you view, how you arrived at the site, and approximate location.
For visitors from the United States, we also use a third-party visitor identification service. It uses cookies, device identifiers, and IP-based matching to associate a visit with existing business and professional profile information, which can include a name, work email address, job title, and company. We use this to understand which businesses and professionals are interested in our work and, where appropriate, to follow up. This identification is applied only to visitors from the United States, not to visitors from other regions.
How we use your information
We use the information above to respond to your inquiries, evaluate program applications, send the newsletter you signed up for, schedule calls you request, understand how the site is used so we can improve it, reach out to relevant business visitors from the United States, and comply with legal obligations.
Cookies
Cookies are small files stored by your browser. This site uses them for analytics and, for United States visitors, the identification service described above. A consent banner appears on your first visit; you can decline non-essential cookies there, and you can also block or delete cookies at any time in your browser settings. The site works fine without them.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics, loaded through Google Tag Manager, to understand site traffic in aggregate: which pages are visited, for how long, and from where. Google’s use of this data is described in its own privacy policy at policies.google.com/privacy.
Who we share your information with
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with the service providers that operate parts of this site on our behalf: website hosting and form processing, our newsletter platform, our call scheduling tool, analytics, and the visitor identification service described above. Each provider is limited to using your information to provide its service. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights.
Embedded content and links
Some pages embed content from other companies. Videos load from YouTube only after you click play, and our call scheduling tool loads after you submit an application. Once loaded, those services may set their own cookies and collect data under their own privacy policies, as if you had visited their sites directly. The same applies to external sites we link to.
How long we keep your information
We keep form submissions and correspondence for as long as needed to handle your inquiry or application and to maintain reasonable business records. Your newsletter email address is kept until you unsubscribe. Analytics and identification data are retained according to the schedules of the providers involved.
Your choices and rights
You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the link in any issue. You can decline cookies through the consent banner or your browser. And you can email us at general@entrepreneurialcapital.com to ask what personal information we hold about you, to correct it, or to have it deleted, including information obtained through the visitor identification service, and we will pass deletion requests along to the providers involved. Depending on where you live, these may also be legal rights (for example under the California Consumer Privacy Act). We will never treat you differently for exercising them.
Children
This site is intended for business audiences and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children; if you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.
Security
The site is served over HTTPS, and the information you submit is stored with established providers that maintain their own security programs. We limit access to personal information to people who need it to respond to you.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we will post the updated version here with a new date at the top.
