Effective date: October 27, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Ventured LLC ("Ventured," "we," "us") collects, uses, and shares personal information through Index Wizard, including https://indexwizard.venturedbrands.com (the "Site") and the Index Wizard daily email (the "Service"). For cookies and pixels, see also our Cookie Notice.
1. Information we collect
Information you or Whop give us - Name and email address. - Purchase and subscription information that Whop shares with us, such as plan, purchase date, renewal and cancellation status, and billing country or region where Whop provides it. - Messages you send us.
Payment information. Payments are processed by Whop. Ventured does not receive or store your full card number or other payment card details. Whop's privacy policy governs how Whop handles payment data.
Information collected automatically - Device and browser information, IP address, pages viewed, referring site, and actions taken on the Site. - Email engagement data, such as whether an email was delivered or opened and whether links were clicked, where our email provider records it. - Information from cookies, pixels, and similar tools (see Section 3).
2. How we use information
- To provide the Service, including sending the daily email.
- To manage subscriptions and respond to support requests.
- To understand how the Site is used and improve it.
- To measure our advertising and to show ads to people who visited the Site or bought from us (retargeting), on Google and Meta.
- To prevent fraud, enforce our Terms, and comply with law.
3. Cookies, pixels, retargeting, and targeted advertising
The Site and checkout use these tools:
| Tool | Provider | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Google Analytics 4 | Site analytics and measurement | |
| Google Ads tag | Conversion tracking, retargeting, and audience lists | |
| Meta pixel | Meta Platforms | Conversion tracking, retargeting, and Custom Audiences |
| Whop checkout and ad pixels | Whop | Checkout, and reporting purchase events to Meta and Google |
What this means: these tools collect information about your visits and purchases, such as pages viewed, device identifiers, IP address, and purchase events, and send it to Google and Meta. We use it to: - measure which ads lead to sign-ups and purchases; - show Index Wizard ads to you on other sites and apps after you visit the Site (retargeting); and - build audiences, including Custom Audiences and similar "lookalike" audiences. We may upload hashed (encoded) customer email addresses to Google or Meta for this purpose.
This is "cross-context behavioral advertising" or "targeted advertising" under some U.S. state laws. See Section 6 to opt out.
Other choices: block or delete cookies in your browser; Google ad settings (https://adssettings.google.com); Google Analytics opt-out (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout); and Meta ad settings in your Facebook or Instagram account.
4. Service providers and other recipients
- Whop (payments, checkout, subscription management).
- Our email delivery provider, currently Acumbamail (email delivery).
- Google (analytics and advertising).
- Meta (advertising).
- Vercel (website hosting).
We may also share information if required by law, to protect our rights or users' safety, or as part of a merger, sale, or reorganization of our business.
5. Sale or sharing of personal information
We do not sell personal information for money. However, our use of Google and Meta pixels for retargeting and targeted advertising may count as "selling" or "sharing" personal information under California and other U.S. state privacy laws. You can opt out as described below.
6. Your Privacy Choices / Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information
You can opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information and of targeted advertising by: - emailing venturedbrands@gmail.com with the subject "Do Not Sell or Share." We will stop uploading your information to advertising audiences and honor your request for information we control; and - blocking advertising cookies and pixels in your browser, or using the Google and Meta ad settings listed in Section 3.
7. U.S. state privacy rights
California residents. Under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the CPRA, you have the right to: - know what personal information we collect, use, and disclose, and to get a copy of it; - correct inaccurate personal information; - delete your personal information, subject to legal exceptions; - opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information (Section 6); - limit the use of sensitive personal information (we do not collect sensitive personal information or use personal information to infer characteristics about you); and - not be discriminated against for using these rights.
In the past 12 months we have collected the categories of personal information described in Section 1: identifiers (name, email, IP address), commercial information (purchases), and internet activity (Site use and email engagement). We disclose them to the recipients in Section 4, and share identifiers and internet activity with Google and Meta for advertising.
Other states. Residents of other states with comprehensive privacy laws (for example Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Texas, Oregon, and others) generally have similar rights: to access, correct, delete, and get a copy of personal information; to opt out of targeted advertising, sale, and certain profiling; and to appeal our decision.
How to make a request. Email venturedbrands@gmail.com with your request and the email address you used for Index Wizard. We will verify your identity by confirming that you control that email address, and respond within the time the law requires (generally 45 days). An authorized agent may submit a request on your behalf with proof of authorization. If we deny your request, you may appeal by replying to our decision with the subject "Appeal." If your appeal is denied, you may contact your state attorney general.
