Welcome to www.grovevc.com (together with its subdomains and Content, the “Site”). Your privacy is
important to us. To better protect your privacy, we provide this privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”)
explaining the online information practices of Grove Ventures Capital and its affiliates ("Grove", "we",
"our" or "us") and the choices you can make about the way we collect and use your information.
1. Consent and Modification.
By using this Site, you consent to the terms of our Privacy Policy and to Grove’s processing of Personal
Information (as defined below) for the purposes set forth herein. If you do not agree to this Privacy
Policy, please do not use our Site. We reserve the right, at our discretion, to modify this Privacy
Policy at any time, which modification will be effective 5 days following the posting of the
modification to the Site, and will apply to causes of action arising after the effective date of the
change. We will inform you regarding such modifications by posting such latest changes on the Site. You
should continue checking the Site for changes. Your continued use of this Site 5 days following the
posting of changes to this Privacy Policy, will mean you accept those changes.
2. Introduction.
We recognize your need for appropriate protection and management of any Personal Information you share
with us. We collect two general types of information from Site users: (1) non-personal information
concerning the use of the Site and (2) personal information that identifies or can be used to identify
or contact an individual. Non-Personal Information: As is the case with many Web sites, our servers
automatically collect your browser type and IP address when you visit the Site. In addition, we may use
standard tracking technologies (e.g., cookies, local shared objects, and pixel tags) and website
analytics tools to monitor and better understand user behavior on the Site. Data captured may include,
for example, the referring page that linked you to the Site, the country from which you are conducting
your browsing session, the next Web site you visit when you leave the Site, and any search terms you
have entered on the Site or a referral site. Such data does not identify you personally. The personal
information we collect is limited to information you submit to us. For example, we may collect your
e-mail address or other information you provide when you contact us through the Site. We may also
collect names, home addresses, or other types of personal information from our investors and business
partners to help verify that they are authorized to access the pages of our website dedicated to them,
if any such pages exist.
3. The Way We Use Personal Information.
We consider the personal information that we receive to be confidential. We will not use your personal
information without your consent, except in accordance with this policy. If you submit your e-mail
address or other personal information to us via the Site, we will use this information only to the
extent necessary to respond to your request(s). We use the non-personal information collected about
Site visits, including the pages you view, information you search for, and the average time spent on our
Site, in the aggregate to better understand our audience and increase the functionality and
user-friendliness of our Site. Aggregate information is anonymous.
4. Sharing with Third Parties.
We generally do not share personal information collected through the Site. We may, however, share your
personal information (i) with trusted third parties who work with us and/or provide services to us, (ii)
as required by law and when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights
or those of third parties, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or comply
with a court order or other legal process, or (iii) in connection with a corporate change including a
merger, acquisition or sale of assets. In addition, the third parties that support our website
analytics tools may be able to view aggregate Site usage information that we obtain.
5. Security.
While we endeavor to protect the security and integrity of Personal Information in our care, due to the
inherent nature of the Internet as an open global communications vehicle, we cannot guarantee that any
information, during transmission through the Internet or while stored on our system or otherwise in our
care, will be absolutely safe from intrusion by others, such as hackers.
6. Links to Third-Party Web Sites.
Our Site may contain links, banners, widgets or advertisements that lead to other Web sites, including
personal blogs written or edited by members of our staff. We are not responsible for these other sites,
and so their privacy policies (not this Policy) will govern the collection and use of your information
on them. We encourage you to read the privacy statements of such Web sites to understand how your
information is treated.
7. Sexual Harassment and Predatory Conduct.
As party to the initiative on addressing and eradicating ‘Sexual Harassment and Predatory Conduct in
Israeli Venture Capital Funds’, Grove Ventures has adopted a ‘zero-tolerance’ approach to any predatory
practices by an investor against an entrepreneur seeking capital. If you believe that you have been
subjected to sexual harassment, other unlawful harassment, or discrimination, or have witnessed or
otherwise become aware of
such an incident, and if you are comfortable doing so, you should consider making it clear to the
offender that such behavior is offensive. You are not, however, required to confront the offender. In
either instance, you should promptly report the incident either verbally or in writing to Ms. Dina
Efrati (Retired Judge regional labor court of Tel Aviv) via email dina147@bezeqint.net, or Ms. Liat
Koren Grove’s CFO & COO via email
liat@grovevc.com.
