NTTVC Website Privacy Policy
Privacy Policy
This “Privacy Policy” describes the privacy practices of NTT Venture Capital and our affiliates (collectively, “NTT Venture Capital”, “NTTVC”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) in connection with the www.nttvc.com website (the “Site”), and the rights and choices available to individuals with respect to their personal information. NTT Venture Capital may provide additional or supplemental privacy policies to individuals for specific matters that we offer at the time we collect personal information. These supplemental privacy policies will govern how we may process the information in the context of the specific matter.
The Site is operated by NTTVC and has been created to provide information about our firm. Our Site visitors can use this Site to tell us about their business and learn about our firm, team and investments. We designed our Site primarily for individuals acting in their business capacities, including current and prospective portfolio companies as well as their representatives. We do not intend our Site to be used primarily for personal, familial or household use. Accordingly, we treat personal information covered by this Privacy Policy as pertaining to individuals acting in their business representative rather than in their personal capacity.

We may obtain your information from other third parties, such as industry associations, publicly-available sources and data providers.
Cookies and Other Information Collected by Automated Means
We, our service providers, and our business partners may automatically log information about you, your computer or mobile device, and activity occurring on or through the Site, including but not limited to your computer or mobile device operating system type and version number, manufacturer and model, device identifier, browser type, screen resolution, IP address, the website you visited before browsing to our website, general location information such as city, state or geographic area; information about your use of and actions on the Site, such as pages or screens you viewed, how long you spent on a page or screen, navigation paths between pages or screens, information about your activity on a page or screen, access times, and length of access; and other personal information. Our service providers and business partners may collect this type of information over time and across third-party websites and mobile applications.
On our webpages, this information is collected using cookies, browser web storage (also known as locally stored objects, or “LSOs”), web beacons, and similar technologies, and our emails may also contain web beacons.
A “cookie” is a text file that websites send to a visitor’s computer or other Internet-connected device to uniquely identify the visitor’s browser or to store information or settings in the browser. Browser web storage, or LSOs, are used for similar purposes as cookies. Browser web storage enables the storage of a larger amount of data than cookies. A “web beacon,” also known as a pixel tag or clear GIF, is typically used to demonstrate that a webpage was accessed or that certain content was viewed, typically to measure the success of our marketing campaigns or engagement with our emails and to compile statistics about usage of our Site.
Web browsers may offer users of our Site the ability to disable receiving certain types of cookies; however, if cookies are disabled, some features or functionality of our Site may not function correctly.
