At a16z Capital Management’s Speedrun site and its related services—including newsletters, the Alpha Fellowship and social channels—you share or trigger the collection of “Personal Data” when you visit or interact. That covers anything that identifies you: name, email, phone, IP address, device details, demographic info (like race or gender if you provide it), education and work background, even your location based on IP. They also pull in data from vendors, analytics tools and ad partners to see how you use the site and to help with support or marketing. When you browse, their servers drop Cookies—small text files—on your device. Some are essential for logging in or accessing secure areas. Others remember your language choice, region or other settings so you don’t have to reset them each visit. Performance cookies track page views, time on site and ad campaign results, including third-party analytics tags. You can disable or delete Cookies via your browser settings or opt out of Google Analytics, though certain features may break or require manual preference adjustments. Beyond basic browsing, a16z uses your data to run and tweak the Services. They send site updates, newsletters and event details. If you’ve got an account or sign up, they’ll manage your profile and deliver career counseling or office visitor access. Behind the scenes they test new features, analyze trends, fight fraud and meet legal or contractual requirements. They’ll also combine what you give them with data from outside sources to fill gaps or improve personalization. Your use of Speedrun—and any contact as a portfolio-company rep, partner or vendor—means you agree to these terms. This policy doesn’t apply to firms outside a16z’s control, nor to their hires or job candidates. If you need an accessible version or have questions, you can request help via privacy@a16z.com.
