Privacy Policy

Effective Date: August 3, 2026

Introduction

Village Technologies Corporation (“Village,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates village.dev and our related products and services (collectively, the “Service”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information when you use the Service or otherwise interact with us, and describes your privacy rights and choices.

We may update this Privacy Policy as our practices or legal obligations change. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated Privacy Policy on this page and updating the effective date above, and we will provide additional notice where required by law. If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or want to exercise your privacy rights, contact us at hello@village.dev.

How we collect and use (process) your personal information

Village collects personal information about website visitors, customers, prospective customers, business contacts, and job applicants. Depending on how you interact with us, this information may include:

• contact and professional information, such as your name, job title, employer, business address, email address, and phone number;
• information submitted in a demo request, such as your company and information about how your organization uses agent-based tools;
• job-application information, such as your resume, LinkedIn or GitHub profile, role applied for, and work-authorization or sponsorship information; and
• device, log, and website-usage information described below.

If you create an account or use Village’s services, we may also process information in connection with the Service (for example, account credentials, subscription and billing information, communications with us, and customer content or data submitted to the Service such as prompts, files, notes, and links (“Customer Data”)).

We generally use the personal information we collect for purposes associated with the growth, maintenance, and management of our business. Depending on how you interact with us, we may use your personal information in the following ways:

• To provide, manage, and improve the Service. We may use your personal information to operate, administer, support, and improve the website and Service, including generating outputs, performing requested workflows, debugging, monitoring performance, and developing features. We do not use Customer Data to train or improve any artificial intelligence or machine learning models, whether operated by Village or a third party.
• To communicate with you. We use your personal information to communicate with you about your interest in or use of the Service.
• To manage sales and recruiting. We use personal information to respond to demo requests, manage prospective-customer relationships, evaluate job applications, and communicate with candidates.
• To identify usage trends and make improvements. We use your personal information to understand how you use the website and Service, identify usage trends, and make internal improvements.
• To satisfy our legal obligations. We use your personal information to comply with applicable law and respond to lawful requests and communications from law enforcement authorities and other government officials.
• To maintain security and prevent fraud. We use your personal information to help monitor and maintain the security and integrity of the website, Service, systems, and networks.
• As otherwise permitted, necessary, or appropriate. We use your personal information as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy or as explained to you at the point of data collection. We will also use your personal information at your direction or with your consent, and as we believe necessary or appropriate to protect our rights, privacy, safety, or property, or those of others.

Village does not sell personal information or use or disclose personal information for targeted or cross-context behavioral advertising.

From time to time, Village receives personal information about individuals from third parties. Typically, information collected from third parties will include further details on your employer or industry. We may also collect your personal data from a third-party website, such as LinkedIn.

Use of village.dev

As is true of most other websites, Village's website collects certain information automatically and stores it in log files. The information may include internet protocol (IP) addresses, the region or general location where your computer or device is accessing the internet, browser type, operating system, and other usage information about the use of Village's website, including a history of the pages you view. We use this information to help us design our site to better suit our users' needs. We may also use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer our website, analyze trends, track visitor movements, and gather broad demographic information that assists us in identifying visitor preferences.

Village has a legitimate interest in understanding how visitors, customers, and prospective customers use its website. This helps us provide and improve the Service, communicate with users, maintain security, and understand demand for our products and services.

Cookies and tracking technologies

We and our service providers may use cookies and similar technologies to operate and secure the website, remember preferences, understand usage, and improve the Service. You can control cookies through your browser settings, but disabling them may affect some features.

We use Microsoft Clarity to understand how visitors interact with our website through behavioral metrics, heatmaps, and session replay. This may include interactions such as page visits, clicks, scrolling, and mouse movements, together with device and usage information. We use this information for website analytics, optimization, troubleshooting, and security, not targeted advertising. Microsoft collects and uses information as described in the Microsoft Privacy Statement.

We do not currently respond to browser “Do Not Track” signals. Our service providers may collect information about your interactions with our website over time, and their handling of that information is governed by their own privacy notices. We do not use this information for targeted or cross-context behavioral advertising.

Sharing information with third parties

We use service providers and subprocessors to host, secure, operate, analyze, support, and communicate about the Service. When these providers process personal information on our behalf, they may use it only to provide their contracted services and not for their own independent purposes. Our current list of subprocessors is available through our Trust Center.

When Customer Data is processed by our AI or model providers, it is processed only as needed to provide, secure, support, maintain, and operate the Service. We do not permit those providers to use customer data for their own independent purposes, including model training, and Village does not use Customer Data to train its own models.

We may also disclose personal information: (1) at your direction or with your authorization; (2) to service providers that perform functions on our behalf; (3) when required to comply with applicable law, legal process, or lawful government requests; (4) when reasonably necessary to enforce our agreements or protect the rights, property, or safety of Village, our users, or others; or (5) in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, or sale of all or part of our business or assets.

We may create, use, and disclose aggregated or de-identified information that cannot reasonably be used to identify you, as permitted by applicable law.

Transferring personal data to the U.S.

Village is headquartered in the United States. We and our service providers may process personal information in the United States and other countries whose data protection laws may differ from those in your country.

Where applicable law requires safeguards for international transfers, we use protections recognized by applicable law.
