Mayfield Fund values the privacy of those who use our website. Please read the Mayfield Fund Online Privacy Statement ("Statement") below for details about particular Mayfield Fund sites and services that you may use.

This Statement applies to data collected by Mayfield Fund through its website and services. This Statement governs information you provide to us or we learn from your use of our website and tells you how we may collect, use and, in some instances, share this information.

Information We Collect

In order to access some Mayfield Fund services, you will be asked to provide what is generally called "personal information" (such as your name, email address, social security number, tax identification number, company name, and title/position).  You may also be requested to provide questions and secret answers, which we use to help verify your identity and assist in resetting your password.

We may collect "tracking information" about your visit, including the pages you view, the links you click and other actions taken in connection with Mayfield Fund site and services. We also collect certain standard information that your browser sends to every website you visit, such as your IP address, browser type and language, access times and referring website addresses.

When you receive newsletters or promotional e-mail from Mayfield Fund, we may use web beacons, customized links or similar technologies to determine whether the e-mail has been opened and which links you click in order to provide you more focused e-mail communications or other information.

In order to offer you a more consistent and personalized experience in your interactions with Mayfield Fund, information collected through one Mayfield Fund service may be combined with information obtained through other Mayfield Fund services.  Do not submit any information or other materials that you consider confidential or proprietary.

The Way We Use Information

Broadly speaking, we use personal information for purposes of administering our business activities, delivering newsletters to subscribers, delivering information to our investors, providing customer service, and making available other products and services to the users of our website.  Additionally, we may use all of the information that we collect from our users to understand their usage trends and preferences, to improve the way our website works and looks, to improve our marketing and promotional efforts, and to create new features and functionality.

Personal information collected on Mayfield Fund sites and services may be stored and processed in the United States or any other country in which Mayfield Fund or its affiliates, subsidiaries or agents maintain facilities, and by using a Mayfield Fund site or service, you consent to any such transfer of information outside of your country. Mayfield Fund abides by the safe harbor framework as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of data from the European Union.

Sharing of Your Information

Except as otherwise noted in this Statement, we do not share personal information about our users with third parties unless doing so is appropriate to carry out a user's request or it reasonably believes that doing so is legally required or is in our interest to protect our property or other legal rights or the rights or property of others.

We occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, such as processing tracking information; providing customer support; hosting our websites; performing statistical analysis; assist us to understand usage patterns for certain content, services, and/or the functionality of our website; provide website maintenance and security; to offer certain features on our website; to assist us in improving the way our website works and looks; and to create new features.  Those companies will be permitted to obtain only the personal information they need to deliver the service. They are required to maintain the confidentiality of the information and are prohibited from using it for any other purpose.

We do not share user personal information with other, third-party organizations for their marketing or promotional use without your consent or except as part of a specific program or feature for which you will have the ability to opt-in.  Mayfield Fund will not sell or rent your personal information to third parties and will only disclose your personal information in accordance with this Statement.

Accessing Your Personal Information

You may have the ability to view or edit your personal information online. In order to help prevent your personal information from being viewed by others, you will be required to sign in with your credentials (user ID/name and password). The appropriate method(s) for accessing your personal information will depend on which sites or services you have used.

Security of Your Personal Information

Mayfield Fund is committed to protecting the security of your personal information. No data transmissions over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.  Consequently, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us and you do so at your own risk.  Once we receive your transmission, we make reasonable efforts to ensure security on our systems.  We use secure server software (SSL) and firewalls to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.  However, please note that this is not a guarantee that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed by breach of such firewalls and secure server software.

A password is used to help protect personal information.  It is your responsibility to keep your password confidential. Do not share this information with anyone. If you are sharing a computer with anyone you should always choose to log out before leaving a site or service to protect access to your information from subsequent users.

If we learn of a security systems breach we may attempt to notify you electronically so that you can take appropriate protective steps.  By using our website or providing personal information to us you agree that we can communicate with you electronically regarding security, privacy and administrative issues relating to your use of this site.  We may post a notice on our website if a security breach occurs.  If this happens, Mayfield may send an email to you at the email address you have provided to us in these circumstances.  Depending on where you live, you may have a legal right to receive notice of a security breach in writing.  To receive free written notice of a security breach (or to withdraw your consent from receiving electronic notice) you should notify us at privacy@mayfield.com.

Children

Consistent with the federal Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA), we will never knowingly request personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13 without requiring parental consent.  Any person who provides their personal information to Mayfield Fund through our website represents that they are 13 years of age or older.
