Privacy Policy

1. About Feature With Hu9

Feature With Hu9 (“FWH”, “we”, “our” or “us”) is a founder-focused media and discovery platform and a BrandxStudio media initiative. We publish founder and startup stories, podcasts, startup opportunities and related ecosystem content.

2. Information we may collect

Depending on how you use FWH, we may collect information you voluntarily provide, such as your name, business or startup name, email address, phone number, location, website and social media links, founder or company images, business information, founder-story responses and other information submitted through our forms or communications.

We may also receive technical and usage information when you visit the website, such as browser/device information, pages visited, referring pages, approximate location derived from technical data, IP address and interaction or analytics information.

3. How we use information

• To review, prepare, edit and publish founder or startup features.
• To operate, secure, maintain and improve the FWH website and services.
• To respond to enquiries, corrections, submissions and collaboration requests.
• To understand website usage and content performance.
• To provide relevant communications and founder opportunity updates where you have chosen to receive them.
• To prevent misuse, fraud, security incidents and technical problems.
• To display and measure advertising where advertising services are enabled.

4. Founder submissions and published information

Information submitted specifically for a founder or business feature may be reviewed and edited for clarity, structure and presentation. Information approved or intended for publication may become publicly accessible on FWH and may be discoverable through search engines, social platforms and links shared by other users.

5. Cookies and similar technologies

FWH and service providers used by FWH may use cookies, pixels, web beacons, IP addresses or similar technologies for website functionality, analytics, security, measurement and advertising. Cookies are small files or identifiers that can help websites and services recognize browsers, remember preferences and understand website activity.

6. Google Analytics and other analytics

We may use analytics services such as Google Analytics to understand how visitors discover and use FWH. These services may process technical and usage information using cookies or similar technologies according to their own policies and settings.

7. Meta Pixel

FWH may use Meta Pixel or related Meta technologies to measure website activity, understand the performance of campaigns and improve our marketing. Meta may process information collected through these technologies according to its own privacy policies and user settings.

8. Google AdSense and advertising

FWH may use Google AdSense and other advertising services to display advertisements. Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on a visitor's prior visits to FWH or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables Google and its partners to serve ads based on visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.

Third parties may place or read cookies on your browser, or use web beacons, IP addresses or other identifiers to collect information as a result of advertising being served on FWH. Users can manage or opt out of personalized advertising through Google's advertising settings.

9. Third-party websites and services

FWH contains links to third-party websites, including startup organizers, application portals, social networks, WhatsApp, partner websites and other external services. We do not control the privacy practices, availability or content of those external services. You should review their policies before providing personal information.

10. Startup opportunities

When FWH publishes or links to a funding program, grant, incubator, accelerator, competition, event or other opportunity, applications generally take place on an external organizer's website. Information you submit directly to that organizer is governed by the organizer's own privacy practices, not this Privacy Policy.

11. How information may be shared

We may share or make information available to service providers where reasonably necessary to operate the website, host content, analyze traffic, provide advertising, maintain security or deliver services. Information intended for publication as part of a founder feature or other editorial content may be publicly displayed. We may also disclose information when required by applicable law or to protect legitimate legal or security interests.

12. Data retention and requests

We may retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for editorial records, website operations, security, legal obligations and the purposes described in this policy. If you want to request a correction or raise a privacy-related concern about information you submitted to FWH, contact us using the details below. Some published information may remain in backups, archives, search-engine caches or third-party copies even after changes are made on FWH.

13. Children's privacy

FWH is designed primarily for founders, entrepreneurs, professionals and people interested in the startup ecosystem. The platform is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children under 13.

14. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as FWH, our technology, advertising services or legal requirements change. The latest version will be published on this page with an updated effective date.
