iHub Privacy Policy

Effective Date: December 10, 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how Innovation Hub Foundation (“iHub,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, discloses, and protects personal information obtained through the iHub website (the “Site”), applications for our programs (Blueprint, Foundation, Elevation, Rebuild), events, workshops, SMS communications, and related services (collectively, the “Services”).

By accessing or using the Services, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Services.

We may update this Policy from time to time. Material changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date, and where required by law we will provide additional notice (e.g., via email or SMS).

Publicly available professional profiles

Referrals from mentors (“Foremen”), partners, or alumni

Analytics providers and advertising networks

We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal data (e.g., health, race, religion, political opinions) unless voluntarily provided in a Rebuild application, in which case it is treated with heightened confidentiality.

2. How We Use Personal Information

To review and process program applications

To operate, maintain, and improve the Services

To communicate with you via email and SMS, including:

Application status updates

Program notifications and reminders

Event confirmations and updates

Operational or account-related messages

To administer events, workshops, and community features

To conduct anonymized analytics and research

To comply with legal obligations

To detect, prevent, and address fraud, security, or technical issues

To enforce our Terms of Use and protect our rights

SMS Consent and Use

SMS messages are sent only to individuals who have explicitly opted in by submitting their phone number through a web form, application, event registration, QR code scan, or other consent-based method that clearly discloses SMS communication. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply.

You may opt out of SMS communications at any time by replying STOP, or by contacting us at [email protected].

3. Legal Bases (EEA/UK Visitors)

If you are located in the European Economic Area, Switzerland, or the UK, we process personal data on the following bases:

Our legitimate interests (e.g., site security, analytics, operational communications), provided they are not overridden by your rights

Your consent (e.g., SMS messages, marketing emails, non-essential cookies)

Compliance with legal obligations

4. Sharing of Personal Information

We share personal information only in these limited circumstances:

With service providers acting on our behalf (hosting, email delivery, SMS delivery platforms, payment processing, analytics) under strict confidentiality agreements

With mentors (“Foremen”) and partners when you opt in to introductions

In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets

When required by law, regulation, or legal process

To protect the safety, rights, or property of iHub, our community, or the public

We do not sell, rent, or share phone numbers for third-party marketing purposes.
SMS consent is not shared with third parties, except as necessary to deliver messages through our authorized service providers.

5. Cookies & Similar Technologies

We use essential cookies to enable core site functionality. We also use analytics and marketing cookies with your consent. You can manage preferences via the cookie banner or your browser settings.

Active program participants: duration of participation + 7 years (legal/tax requirements)

Inactive contacts (including SMS subscribers): up to 3 years from last interaction

Logs and analytics: up to 26 months

7. International Transfers

iHub is based in the United States. Personal information may be transferred to and processed in the U.S. and other countries with different data-protection standards. We use approved mechanisms (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses) to ensure adequate protection.
