Privacy Policy

First Model Inc. creates, develops, validates, and launches ventures, technologies, and intellectual-property concepts. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect personal information when people visit our website, contact us, discuss opportunities, or interact with our company.

This policy is intended for a global audience, including people in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Canada, the United States, and other regions with privacy and data-protection laws.

We may collect information you provide directly, including your name, email address, company, role, country, message content, business interests, proposal details, investor or partner materials, and other information you choose to send to us.

We may also collect technical and usage information, including IP address, device type, browser type, operating system, referring pages, pages viewed, time spent on pages, approximate location inferred from IP address, and similar diagnostics that help us operate and secure the site.

If you communicate with us about a venture, investment, partnership, licensing opportunity, employment, or service relationship, we may collect business contact details, professional background, organization details, due-diligence information, contractual records, and related correspondence.

We use personal information to respond to inquiries, evaluate business opportunities, operate and improve the website, communicate about First Model Inc. and its ventures, manage relationships, assess proposals, protect legal rights, prevent fraud, comply with law, and maintain security.

We may use aggregated or de-identified information to understand market interest, improve our operating platform, evaluate venture categories, and make strategic business decisions. We do not use de-identified information to identify you again unless permitted by law and needed for security or legal reasons.

Where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies, we process personal information on one or more legal bases: consent, performance of a contract or pre-contractual steps, compliance with legal obligations, protection of vital interests where applicable, and our legitimate interests.

Our legitimate interests include operating a corporate website, responding to business inquiries, reviewing venture and partnership opportunities, protecting our systems, enforcing our rights, developing business relationships, and improving our services, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms.

Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time. Withdrawal does not affect processing that occurred before withdrawal.

We may use cookies, pixels, local storage, analytics tools, or similar technologies to operate the website, remember preferences, understand site performance, measure engagement, and improve the experience.

Some technologies may be strictly necessary for site operation. Others, such as analytics or marketing technologies, may be subject to consent requirements depending on your location. You can control cookies through your browser settings and, where available, through consent controls presented on the site.

We may share personal information with service providers, professional advisers, technology vendors, hosting providers, analytics providers, legal or regulatory authorities, counterparties in business transactions, and affiliated or future First Model ventures where appropriate for the purpose of the relationship.

We do not sell personal information in the ordinary meaning of the word. If a privacy law defines certain analytics or advertising disclosures as a sale, share, or targeted advertising activity, you may have rights to opt out under that law.

We may disclose information if required by law, subpoena, court order, regulatory request, or to protect the rights, property, security, or safety of First Model Inc., our ventures, users, partners, or others.

Because First Model Inc. works with a global audience, personal information may be processed in countries other than the country where you live. Those countries may have privacy laws that differ from your local laws.

Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfers, such as standard contractual clauses, data-processing agreements, vendor due diligence, and other lawful transfer mechanisms recognized by applicable privacy laws.

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including responding to inquiries, managing business relationships, preserving records, complying with legal obligations, resolving disputes, enforcing agreements, and protecting our rights.

Retention periods vary depending on the type of information, the context in which it was collected, legal requirements, and business needs. When information is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to delete, de-identify, or archive it securely.

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to, or port your personal information. You may also have the right to withdraw consent, opt out of certain processing, lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, or appeal a privacy decision.

Residents of the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and Switzerland may contact us to exercise GDPR-related rights. Residents of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Utah, and other U.S. states with privacy laws may have additional rights to know, access, correct, delete, opt out of sale or sharing, limit certain uses of sensitive information, and avoid discrimination for exercising privacy rights.

To exercise privacy rights, contact us at info@firstmodelinc.com. We may need to verify your identity and location before fulfilling a request. Authorized agents may submit requests where permitted by law and where proper authorization is provided.

Our website and business communications are intended for adults and business audiences. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13, or under the age required by local law, without appropriate consent.

If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to review and delete the information where required.

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

No website, transmission, or storage system is completely secure. You should use care when deciding what information to send electronically, especially confidential business, financial, technical, or intellectual-property materials.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our business, legal obligations, technologies, or practices. The updated version will be posted with a new last updated date.

For privacy questions, rights requests, or concerns, contact First Model Inc. at info@firstmodelinc.com. This policy is provided for transparency and does not limit rights that cannot be waived under applicable law.
