Effective Date: August 30, 2026  ·  Last Updated: August 30, 2026

Ventur ("Ventur," "we," "our," or "us") provides a platform designed to help people discover, explore, and engage with local businesses and places while allowing participating businesses to better understand and engage with visitors.

This Privacy Policy ("Policy") explains how we collect, use, disclose, and otherwise process information when you access or use the Ventur mobile application, websites, and other products or services that link to this Policy (collectively, the "Services").

This Policy also explains certain rights and choices you may have regarding your information.

1. Information We Collect

The information we collect depends on how you interact with Ventur and which features you use.

A. Information You Provide to Us

When you create or maintain a Ventur account, we may collect information such as:

• Name;
• Username or display name;
• Email address;
• Phone number;
• Profile information;
• Profile photo;
• Account credentials or authentication information; and
• Other information you choose to associate with your account.

Profile and Preference Information

You may choose to provide information about your interests, preferences, favorite places, activities, categories, or other information that helps us personalize your Ventur experience.

Depending on the features available within Ventur, we may collect content you create, submit, upload, or otherwise make available through the Services, such as:

If you contact us, participate in a survey, report an issue, or communicate with customer support, we may collect the information contained in those communications.

2. Location and Visit Information

Location is an important part of the Ventur experience.

With your permission, Ventur may collect location information from your device, including precise or approximate geolocation information.

We may use location information to:

• Identify businesses, attractions, events, or places near you;
• Provide location-based recommendations;
• Help you discover places;
• Determine whether you are at or near a participating location;
• Verify eligible visits to participating businesses or places;
• Enable stamps, challenges, RAX, rewards, achievements, or similar features;
• Prevent fraudulent or manipulated visits;
• Improve the accuracy and functionality of the Services; and
• Understand how users interact with participating places and communities.

Verified Visits

Ventur may use a combination of location information, QR codes, timestamps, account identifiers, device information, and other signals to determine whether an eligible visit occurred.

For example, when you scan a Ventur QR code at a participating merchant, we may process the QR code, your location or proximity to the location, the date and time of the interaction, your account identifier, and related technical information to verify the visit.

A verified visit may become part of your Ventur account history.

You can control Ventur's access to device location through your device settings. Certain features—including nearby discovery and visit verification—may not function properly if location access is disabled.

3. RAX, Stamps, Challenges, and Reward Activity

When you participate in Ventur features such as stamps, RAX, challenges, rewards, achievements, or similar programs, we may collect information including:

• Places visited;
• Visit verification status;
• Date and time of visits;
• QR code interactions;
• Stamps earned;
• RAX earned, received, used, or redeemed;
• Challenges joined or completed;
• Rewards earned or redeemed;
• Account balances;
• Eligibility information; and
• Related activity history.

We use this information to operate these features, maintain accurate records, prevent fraud and abuse, personalize the experience, and improve Ventur.

We may receive information from third parties depending on the features you use and the relationships we maintain.

These sources may include:

Participating businesses may provide information necessary to operate Ventur features, verify visits, administer challenges or rewards, investigate suspected fraud, or resolve customer service issues.

• Changes to our Services;

Where permitted by law and subject to your choices, we may also send promotional communications about Ventur, participating merchants, events, experiences, or offers.

Improve Ventur

We may analyze how people interact with the Services to understand usage, identify problems, develop new features, evaluate performance, and improve Ventur.

We may use information when reasonably necessary to comply with applicable laws, regulations, legal processes, or enforceable governmental requests.

7. Participating Merchants and Visit Information

Ventur works with participating local businesses ("Merchants") to provide discovery, visit verification, challenges, rewards, and other features.

When you interact with or complete a verified visit to a participating Merchant, Ventur may provide the Merchant with information regarding activity involving that Merchant.

Depending on the Ventur product and Merchant features being used, this may include information such as:

• That a verified Ventur visit occurred;
• Date and time of the visit;
• Whether the visit was a first verified Ventur visit or a repeat verified Ventur visit;
• Challenge participation or completion;
• Stamp or reward activity associated with that Merchant; and
• Aggregated or de-identified information about visitor activity.

Ventur does not necessarily provide Merchants with your precise location history merely because you use Ventur.

We may provide additional identifiable information to a Merchant when you request an interaction that requires it, direct us to do so, or when otherwise disclosed to you through the applicable feature.

8. Aggregated and De-Identified Information

We may create aggregated or de-identified information from information collected through Ventur.

For example, we may analyze information to understand:

• How many Ventur users visited a particular business;
• How many verified visits were first-time versus repeat visits;
• General engagement with a challenge;
• General patterns of local exploration;
• Popular categories, neighborhoods, or experiences; and
• Overall performance of Ventur programs.

Where information has been reasonably de-identified or aggregated so that it is not reasonably linked to an identifiable individual, we may use and disclose that information for business, analytics, research, reporting, product-development, merchant, community, and other lawful purposes.

We will maintain de-identified information in de-identified form and will not attempt to re-identify it except where permitted by law.

9. How We Disclose Information

We may disclose information in the following circumstances.

Service Providers

We may disclose information to companies that perform services on our behalf, such as:

• Cloud hosting;
• Database infrastructure;
• Authentication;
• Mapping and location services;
• Analytics;
• Communications;
• Customer support;
• Security;
• Fraud prevention; and
• Technical infrastructure.

These providers may process information as necessary to perform services for Ventur.

Participating Merchants

We may disclose information to participating Merchants as described in this Policy, including information necessary to verify and administer visits, challenges, rewards, and related programs.

At Your Direction

We may disclose information when you request or direct us to do so.

Legal and Safety Reasons

We may disclose information when we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to:

• Comply with applicable law;
• Respond to legal process;
• Protect the rights or property of Ventur;
• Protect users, Merchants, or others;
• Investigate fraud or abuse;
• Prevent security threats; or
• Enforce our agreements.

Business Transfers

If Ventur is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, sale of assets, or similar transaction, information may be disclosed or transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable law.

10. Sale, Sharing, and Targeted Advertising

Ventur does not sell personal information for money.

Ventur may use service providers and technology partners to measure use of our Services, understand the effectiveness of marketing, and promote Ventur.

Certain U.S. privacy laws define terms such as "sale," "sharing," or "targeted advertising" broadly enough that some digital advertising or analytics activities may fall within those definitions even when no money is exchanged for personal information.

Where required by applicable law, Ventur will provide users with the ability to exercise applicable opt-out rights.

We may update this section as our advertising and analytics practices evolve.

11. Analytics and Similar Technologies

Ventur and our service providers may use cookies, software development kits ("SDKs"), pixels, APIs, local storage, and similar technologies to operate and understand the Services.

These technologies may help us:

• Keep users signed in;
• Remember preferences;
• Measure product usage;
• Diagnose technical problems;
• Understand which features are useful;
• Measure marketing effectiveness;
• Prevent fraud; and
• Improve Ventur.

Your browser, operating system, or mobile device may provide controls for limiting certain tracking technologies.

12. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including to provide the Services, maintain your account, satisfy legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, and enforce agreements.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and why it was collected.

When information is no longer reasonably necessary, we may delete, anonymize, or de-identify it, subject to applicable law and legitimate business requirements.

13. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, organizational, physical, and technical safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no internet transmission, mobile application, database, or information-storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Users are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their account credentials and should notify us if they believe their account has been compromised.

14. Your Privacy Rights and Choices

Depending on where you live, you may have certain rights concerning your personal information.

These may include the right to:

• Request access to personal information we maintain about you;
• Request correction of inaccurate personal information;
• Request deletion of certain personal information;
• Obtain a portable copy of certain information;
• Opt out of certain targeted advertising, sale, or sharing activities;
• Limit certain uses of sensitive personal information where applicable;
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent; and
• Appeal certain decisions concerning a privacy request where applicable.

These rights are subject to exceptions and limitations under applicable law.

To submit a privacy request, contact: venturedragons@ventur.life

We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests.

Authorized agents may submit requests where permitted by applicable law, although we may require verification of the agent's authority and/or your identity.

We will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising applicable privacy rights.

15. Account Deletion

You may request deletion of your Ventur account and associated personal information by using an account-deletion feature made available within the Services, if available, or by contacting: venturedragons@ventur.life

After receiving and verifying a deletion request, we will delete or de-identify information associated with your account as required by applicable law.

We may retain certain information where reasonably necessary for legal compliance, fraud prevention, security, dispute resolution, accounting, or enforcement of our agreements.

Information that has already been aggregated or de-identified may not be associated with your account and therefore may not be deleted with your account.

16. Location Controls

You can control Ventur's access to your device location through your mobile device settings.

Depending on your device, you may be able to:

• Allow location access;
• Allow location only while using Ventur;
• Allow precise or approximate location;
• Disable location access; or
• Modify other location permissions.

Disabling location access may prevent certain Ventur features from functioning, particularly features involving nearby discovery or verified visits.

17. Push Notifications and Marketing Communications

If you enable push notifications, Ventur may send notifications regarding your account, places, challenges, rewards, RAX, recommendations, or other Ventur activity.

You can disable push notifications through your device settings.

You may unsubscribe from promotional emails using the unsubscribe mechanism included in those communications.

Even if you opt out of promotional communications, we may continue sending non-promotional messages concerning your account, security, transactions, legal notices, or operation of the Services.

18. Third-Party Services and Links

Ventur may contain links to, integrate with, or provide information from third-party websites, applications, maps, merchants, social platforms, or other services.

Those third parties operate independently from Ventur and may collect information according to their own privacy policies.

This Privacy Policy does not govern the privacy practices of third parties.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of third-party services before providing information to them.

19. Children's Privacy

Ventur is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without legally sufficient authorization, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information to Ventur, please contact: venturedragons@ventur.life

Certain Ventur features may have higher age requirements where required by law or appropriate for the feature.

20. United States State Privacy Disclosures

If you access Ventur from outside the United States, information may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in the United States or other countries where Ventur or our service providers operate.

Privacy and data-protection laws in these jurisdictions may differ from those in your country.

Where required, we will use appropriate safeguards for international transfers of personal information.

23. Changes to This Privacy Policy
