Privacy Policy

Weaverbird (“we,” “our,” “us”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and the rights you have under laws in the United States, Canada, and the European Union.

1. Information We Collect
‍

• Account Information: Name, email, organization, role, and other profile details you choose to share.
  
• Community Content: Posts, project submissions, messages, or other contributions.
  
• Payment Information: Processed securely by third-party providers (we never store full credit card numbers).
  
• Usage Data: Log data, IP addresses, device/browser type, interactions with the platform.
  
• Cookies & Analytics: Tools to remember preferences and improve performance.
  
  

2. How We Use Information

We use your information to:

• Provide and improve the Services.
  
• Facilitate meaningful connections between innovators, solution providers, and ecosystem partners.
  
• Process payments and manage subscriptions.
  
• Communicate with you (updates, newsletters, support).
  
• Ensure the safety and integrity of the platform.
  
• Comply with legal requirements.
  

Data Insights: We may generate aggregated, anonymized trend reports (e.g., “X% of companies are seeking pilot partners” or “battery innovators most often request Y service”). These reports may be shared with trusted partners such as investors, corporates, or research institutions to support ecosystem growth. No personally identifiable information is included in these insights.

We will never sell your personal data.

We only share your information in limited ways:

• With Other Members: Only the basic profile fields you select to make visible.
  
• With Service Providers: Vendors who help us operate (hosting, analytics, payments).
  
• With Corporate/VC Partners: Only aggregated and anonymized insights, never your personal profile or customer lists.
  
• Confidentiality for Providers: Service providers’ customer lists or engagements will not be shared with other providers.
  
• Legal Reasons: When required by law or necessary to protect rights, security, or safety.
