Venture: Orange County collects information to operate the site, deliver our newsletter, respond to inquiries, and improve user experience.
We do not seek to collect sensitive personal information (race, ethnicity, religion, union membership, mental or physical health, sexual orientation, immigration status, precise geolocation (location within a radius of 1,850 feet), government IDs, financial account login information, biometric data, or genetic data). Please do not submit this information through our general website forms.
The following table summarizes the categories of personal information we collect, the specific data within each category, and the purposes for which we collect it. This satisfies the Notice at Collection requirements of California Civil Code §1798.100(b).
We do not collect "Sensitive Personal Information" as defined by California Civil Code §1798.140(ae) (including precise geolocation (location within a radius of 1,850 feet), government IDs, financial account credentials, biometric or genetic data, racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, union membership, sexual orientation, or health information). Do not submit this information through our general site forms.
We do not sell your personal information for money. We may "share" personal information as defined by the California Privacy Rights Act if you consent to analytics or advertising cookies that support cross-context behavioral advertising. You may opt out at any time using our Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information link in the site footer or by sending a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal from your browser. We share data with third-party service providers (email platforms, analytics tools, hosting providers) under data-processing agreements that require them to protect your information.
We use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to recognize your browser, remember preferences, measure usage, and (where you consent) support marketing and analytics.
See our Cookie Policy for a full list of cookie categories, specific cookies, and how to control them.
We honor browser-based opt-out signals such as Global Privacy Control (GPC) where required by law. When we detect a GPC signal from your browser, we treat it as a request to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information for that browser session.
This site may link to third-party websites and services. We are not responsible for their privacy practices. We recommend reviewing their privacy policies before submitting information.
We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards (including transport-layer encryption, access controls on administrative systems, and vendor due diligence) to protect your information. No system is completely secure. If you believe your information has been compromised, please contact us at privacy@ventureoc.com.

California Civil Code §1798.83 ("Shine the Light") allows California residents who provide personal information for personal, family, or household purposes to request, once per calendar year, information about our disclosures of certain categories of personal information to third parties for those third parties' own direct marketing purposes.
Venture: Orange County does not share personal information with third parties for their own direct marketing purposes. To make a Shine the Light request, email privacy@ventureoc.com with the subject line "Request for California Privacy Information." We will respond within 30 days.

Forms that collect a telephone number include a separate, clearly labeled consent checkbox for marketing calls and text messages.

To opt out of email use the unsubscribe link or reply directly; to opt out of calls ask the caller to remove you or email privacy@ventureoc.com. Opt-out requests received via STOP or unsubscribe links take effect immediately; requests received by other methods may take up to 30 days to process.
