Privacy Policy

Introduction

This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) describes how nZero Labs, Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, “Solo Grants,” “Solo Founders,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collect, use, and share information in connection with your use of our websites, services, and applications (collectively, the “Services”). This Policy applies to sologrants.com and all associated subdomains, products, and services.

We reserve the right to change this Policy at any time. The “Last Updated” date at the top of this Policy indicates when it was last revised. Any changes will be effective immediately upon posting the revised Policy. Your continued use of the Services after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated Policy.

Information We Collect

We collect information when you apply for a grant, contact us, or otherwise interact with us. This includes:

• Personal identifiers: name, email address, phone number, and application responses.
• Grant application details: a description of your project, budget breakdown, links you share (e.g., LinkedIn, Twitter, website), city/country, and — because we consider financial need — information such as employment status, dependents, and household income.
• Payout details: if you are awarded a grant, bank account information needed to wire the funds. This is used solely to distribute your grant.
• Technical data: IP address, browser type, operating system, and language preferences.
• Usage data: information about how you use and interact with our Services.

If you disclose any personal information relating to other people to us or to our service providers in connection with the Services, you represent that you have the authority to do so.

How We Use the Information We Collect

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide, maintain, and improve our Services.
• Process and review grant applications, including assessing financial need.
• Distribute grants to awarded applicants.
• Communicate with you, including sending updates about your application.
• Prevent fraud and enhance security.
• Analyze usage trends and improve our offerings.
• Comply with legal obligations, enforce our terms, and protect our rights.

We may aggregate and/or anonymize personal information so that it will no longer be considered personal information, and use such information for any lawful purpose — for example, to understand overall program outcomes.

How We Share Personal Information

We may share your information with:

• Partners and collaborators involved in delivering our programs and services.
• Affiliates and subsidiaries within our corporate family, including Solo Founders.
• Third-party service providers who assist us in operating our Services (e.g., form processing, hosting, analytics, email delivery).
• Payment providers to distribute grant funds.
• Other builders in the community, only when you consent to introductions or to sharing what you're working on.
• Legal and regulatory authorities when required by law, to protect our rights, or in connection with legal proceedings.
• Business transfer recipients in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

We do not sell your information or use it for advertising.

Information We Collect Automatically

We use privacy-focused, cookie-free analytics to understand how visitors use the site (pages viewed, referrers, and outbound link clicks). Our grant application is hosted on a third-party form provider; information you submit there is processed by that provider on our behalf.

How We Secure Your Personal Information

We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, misuse, or destruction. However, no data transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

Your Choices

• Updating or deleting your information: contact us at team@solofounders.com to review, update, or request deletion of your personal information.
• Accessing your data: you may request a copy of your personal information in a machine-readable format by contacting us.
• Marketing opt-out: you may opt out of marketing emails at any time via the unsubscribe link in our emails or by contacting us directly.

Links to Third-Party Websites

Our Services contain links to third-party websites and services. This Policy does not apply to those third-party sites, and we are not responsible for their privacy practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

Children Under 13

Our Services are not directed to individuals under the age of thirteen (13), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected information from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete it promptly.

International Users

Solo Grants is based in the United States, and our Services are controlled and operated from the United States. If you are accessing our Services from outside the United States, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States where our facilities and service providers are located.
