Who we are
Venturist Lab ("we", "us", "our") is an AI venture studio based in Melbourne, Australia. We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your personal information in line with the Australian Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
Information we collect
We only collect information you choose to give us, or that is needed for the site to work:
- Contact form: your name, business name, email, phone, the service you're interested in, and your message.
- ROI calculator: your email (and optional name), plus the business figures you enter to generate an estimate.
- AI assistant: the messages you send to our chatbot, so it can respond. We also record that a chat took place.
- Automatically: basic, privacy-friendly usage analytics and essential cookies (see below).
How we use your information
- To respond to your enquiries and provide the services you request.
- To operate the website's features, such as the chatbot and calculator.
- To understand how the site is used so we can improve it.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for advertising.
How your information is stored and shared
We store your information using trusted service providers and only share it with the providers needed to deliver the site. These include:
- Supabase — database and storage for form and calculator submissions.
- Vercel — website hosting and privacy-friendly analytics.
- Brevo — sending email notifications when you contact us.
- Anthropic — powering the AI assistant that replies to your messages.
Some of these providers process data on servers outside Australia. We take reasonable steps to ensure your information is handled securely.
Cookies
We use essential cookies to make the site work, and remember your language and cookie choices. You can decline non-essential cookies using the banner on the site, or manage them in your browser.
Your rights
You can ask us to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you at any time. Just email us and we'll action your request.
