Who we are
Our website address is: https://staging.startup88.flywheelsites.com.
What personal data we collect and why we collect it
TLDR
Startup88 holds minimal personal data on you. We collect email addresses for the purpose of sending our newsletter and if you pitch your startup content you have provided about your startup.
- We use Google Analytics.
- We use Disqus for comments
- We use Sendgrid and the Newsletter Plugin for sending email
- We use WordPress for publishing
- We use Typeform and Zapier for collecting and publishing startup pitches to the site
- We use GDPR compliant Flywheel for hosting
- Our site has Adsense and Facebook Ads and contains the occasional affiliate link

Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Startup Pitches
If you, your employee or an agent uploads a startup pitch for your company, service or product we will keep and publish the content you have provided and keep a copy of your email and name associated with the startup pitch.

Who we share your data with

How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
We delete all data except startup pitches when a user unsubscribes or their email bounces.
