Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 10, 2026
Devolus Inc. (“Devolus”, “we”, “us”) is a New York corporation. This policy explains what personal information we collect through devolusinc.com and in our communications, how we use it and the choices you have. It applies to visitors and clients in the United States, the European Union and elsewhere.
1. Who is responsible
Devolus Inc., 27-20 42nd Road, Long Island City, NY 11101, United States. Contact: info@devolusinc.com.
2. What we collect
Information you give us: name, email, company, country and details of your project when you use our forms (contact and call requests, partner application, newsletter), write to us or book a call. If you send us a link to a pitch deck or business plan, we use it only to evaluate your project and, with your agreement, to introduce you to potential funders.
Booking and payment information: if you book a paid call, Google Calendar handles the booking and Stripe processes the payment, under their own privacy policies. We receive your name, email, booking details and payment confirmation, never your full card details.
Readiness Check: when you leave the page after changing a few answers, the tool sends your answers and results (for example business type, city, budget range and score) to a Google Apps Script linked to a Google Workspace spreadsheet. It does not send your name, email or IP address. We use this to understand demand and improve the tool. If you ask for the full report, we also store your email and, if you give them, your name, company, timing and newsletter choice. We use them to email you a link to the report, to follow up if useful and, only if you tick the box, to send our monthly letter. We may reply first to larger projects. No decision with legal or similar effect is automated.
Client information: data needed to deliver an engagement, such as contact details, billing information and project documents.
Technical information: we count visits with Framer’s built-in analytics, which uses no cookies or persistent identifiers. It records the page visited, the referring page, an approximate country, browser language, time zone and device type. It counts unique visitors with a daily rotating hash of IP address and browser that is not stored. We also use Google Analytics 4, which sets cookies to tell visitors and sessions apart: in Europe and the UK only with your consent, elsewhere by default, with the option to turn it off in our Cookie Notice. Our hosting provider processes IP address and browser data to deliver and secure the site, and Google Fonts receives your IP address to serve the fonts. Our site does not track you across other websites, so it does not respond differently to Do Not Track signals.
We do not ask for sensitive information. Please do not send it through the contact form.
3. How we use it
To reply to your message and schedule calls.
To prepare proposals and deliver our services.
To send invoices and keep the records the law requires.
To keep the site secure and understand, in aggregate, how it is used.
To send you our newsletter, only if you subscribe. You can unsubscribe at any time.
We do not sell or rent personal information, and we do not use it for automated decision-making.
4. Legal bases for visitors in the EU and UK
Replying to your requests, scheduling calls and sending a report you ask for: steps at your request before a contract, or our legitimate interest in answering business inquiries (Art. 6(1)(b) and (f) GDPR).
Delivering services, bookings and payments: performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b)).
Invoices and records: legal obligations (Art. 6(1)(c)).
Site security, aggregate statistics, anonymous Readiness Check data and follow-up with business contacts: our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)). You can object at any time.
Monthly letter: your consent (Art. 6(1)(a)), which you can withdraw at any time with the link in each email.
You do not have to give us personal data. Fields marked as required are needed to reply or to send the report; without them we cannot do so.
5. Who we share it with
Service providers that help us run the business, bound by contract: Framer (website hosting, forms and visit statistics), Google (Workspace email, documents, spreadsheets and Apps Script; Calendar for bookings; Google Fonts; Google Analytics), Stripe (payments) and Intuit QuickBooks (accounting).
Professionals, partners, investors or funding institutions we involve in your project at your request or with your agreement, such as attorneys, accountants, architects, banks or angel investors.
Cosmore NY Corp., the licensed real estate broker that provides real estate services, when you ask for them, under its own policies.
Public authorities, when the law requires it.
6. International transfers
We are based in the United States, so your data is processed there. For transfers from the EU, EEA, Switzerland or the UK we rely on safeguards recognized by those laws, such as the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework where our providers are certified, or standard contractual clauses.
7. How long we keep it
Anonymous Readiness Check records are kept for up to 36 months. Reports you request and inquiries that do not lead to an engagement are kept for up to 24 months from our last contact. Client and billing records are kept as long as tax and legal obligations require, generally up to 7 years. Newsletter data is kept until you unsubscribe.
8. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may ask to access, correct or delete your data, to restrict or object to its processing, to receive it in a portable format and to withdraw consent at any time. Write to info@devolusinc.com and we will reply within 30 days. If you are in the EU or EEA you can also lodge a complaint with your data protection authority; in Italy, the Garante per la protezione dei dati personali.
9. Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards, including access controls and two-factor authentication on our accounts. No system is completely secure. If a security incident affects your personal information, we will notify you as the law requires.
10. Children
Our site and services are not directed to people under 16.
11. Changes
We will post any update on this page with a new date.
