Digital Business Lab LLC (“DBL,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect personal information obtained through this website and our “Build With Us” submission form.

1. Information We Collect

Information you provide. When you submit the “Build With Us” form or otherwise contact us, we may collect:

• Your name;
• Email address;
• Phone number, if provided;
• Company or project name, if provided;
• Information about your business idea, project, professional background, or proposed collaboration; and
• Any other information you voluntarily include in your submission or communications with us.

We do not collect payment information through this website. Please do not submit government identification numbers, financial account information, medical information, passwords, or other highly sensitive personal information through the form.

Information collected automatically. When you visit the website, our hosting, security, and technical service providers may automatically receive limited technical information, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring page, pages visited, and the date and time of your visit.

2. How We Use Your Information

We may use personal information to:

• Review and evaluate your submission;
• Communicate with you about your idea, project, or proposed collaboration;
• Determine whether there may be a potential business relationship with DBL;
• Arrange calls, meetings, or follow-up discussions;
• Operate, maintain, secure, and improve the website;
• Prevent fraud, misuse, or security incidents;
• Comply with applicable legal and regulatory obligations; and
• Establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

We do not use submitted information for unrelated marketing purposes unless you have separately agreed to receive such communications.

Where applicable under European or United Kingdom data protection law, we process personal information based on one or more of the following grounds: taking steps at your request before entering into a contract, our legitimate interests in evaluating and developing potential business relationships, compliance with legal obligations, or your consent when consent is required.

3. Confidentiality and Submitted Ideas

DBL handles personal information included in submissions in accordance with this Privacy Policy and limits access to persons who reasonably need the information for evaluation or business purposes.

However, submitting an idea, project, concept, business model, or other material through the website does not, by itself, create a confidential, fiduciary, partnership, investment, advisory, or other legally binding relationship between you and DBL.

Unless DBL has signed a separate written non-disclosure agreement through an authorized representative before the information is disclosed, your submission will not be considered confidential solely because it was submitted through the website.

You should not include trade secrets or highly sensitive proprietary information in the initial form. If confidential disclosure is necessary, you may request a non-disclosure agreement before providing those details.

This Privacy Policy governs the handling of personal information. Ownership, intellectual property rights, evaluation rights, and other conditions applicable to submitted ideas should be addressed separately in DBL’s Submission Terms or another written agreement.

4. How We Disclose Information

We may disclose personal information to:

• Hosting, form-processing, email, cloud-storage, security, and other technology providers that help us operate the website and process submissions;
• Professional advisers, including attorneys, accountants, consultants, or potential transaction advisers, when reasonably necessary and subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations;
• Government authorities, courts, regulators, or other parties when required by law or reasonably necessary to protect DBL’s rights, safety, property, or legal interests; and
• A successor or potential successor in connection with a merger, financing, acquisition, restructuring, sale of assets, or similar corporate transaction, subject to appropriate safeguards.

Service providers are permitted to process personal information only for the services they provide to us and in accordance with applicable contractual and legal obligations.

DBL does not sell personal information. DBL also does not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, as that term is defined under applicable U.S. state privacy laws.

5. Data Retention

If a submission does not result in a business relationship, we generally retain the submission and related communications for up to 24 months after our last interaction.

If a business relationship begins, we may retain relevant information for the duration of that relationship and afterward for the period reasonably necessary to comply with legal, tax, accounting, contractual, and record-keeping obligations or to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

We may retain information for a longer period when required by law, necessary to resolve a dispute, or subject to a valid legal preservation requirement.

6. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live and subject to applicable law, you may have the right to:

• Request access to your personal information;
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information;
• Request deletion of your personal information;
• Request restriction of or object to certain processing;
• Request a portable copy of certain information;
• Withdraw consent when processing is based on consent; and
• Submit a complaint to an applicable data protection authority.

These rights are not absolute, and certain legal exceptions may apply.

To submit a privacy request, contact us using the information provided below. We may need to verify your identity before processing the request.

DBL will not discriminate against you for exercising a privacy right protected by applicable law.

7. Cookies and Similar Technologies

This website currently uses only cookies or similar technologies that are reasonably necessary for basic operation, security, and remembering user preferences. We do not use advertising cookies or tracking pixels for behavioral advertising.

Our hosting and technical providers may still process limited device and network information necessary to deliver and secure the website.

For additional information, please review our Cookies Policy.

If we introduce analytics, advertising, or other non-essential technologies in the future, we will update this Privacy Policy and, where required, request consent before activating them.

8. Data Security

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

However, no internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should therefore avoid submitting highly sensitive or confidential information through the website unless appropriate protections have first been agreed upon.

9. Children’s Privacy

This website and the “Build With Us” form are intended for adults and are not directed to individuals under 18 years of age.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child without appropriate authorization, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

If you believe a child has submitted personal information to DBL, please contact us.

10. International Visitors and Transfers

DBL is based in Miami, Florida, United States. If you access the website or submit information from another country, your personal information may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate.

Those countries may have data protection laws different from the laws of your country. Where applicable law requires it, we use recognized legal safeguards for international transfers, such as contractual data protection provisions.

11. Third-Party Websites and Services

The website may contain links to third-party websites or services. DBL is not responsible for the privacy practices, security, or content of those third parties. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing them with personal information.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, technology, services, or legal obligations.

The “Last updated” date identifies the most recent revision. If we make material changes, we may provide additional notice through the website or by other appropriate means.
