Last updated: April 22, 2026.

This Privacy Policy explains how the Curaçao Innovation Hub initiative handles personal information collected through this website and related digital touchpoints. It applies to information you share with us directly and to limited technical information generated when you browse the site.

Information We Collect

We may collect information you choose to provide when you contact us, fill out a form, register interest in a program or event, or otherwise interact with the website.

  • Name, email address, organization, role, phone number, and the contents of messages or inquiries you submit.
  • Application, registration, partnership, or participation details you voluntarily provide for programs, events, resources, or other initiatives.
  • Any attachments, documents, or supplementary information you decide to share with us.

We may also collect limited technical and usage information automatically to operate, secure, and improve the website.

  • IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring pages, pages viewed, and timestamps.
  • Diagnostic, security, and performance information generated through our hosting, content delivery, and embedded service providers.

How We Use Information

We use personal information only where it supports the operation of the platform and our legitimate innovation ecosystem activities.

  • To respond to inquiries, partnership requests, registrations, and other messages you send us.
  • To administer programs, events, resources, and ecosystem initiatives connected to the website.
  • To maintain, troubleshoot, secure, and improve the website and its content experience.
  • To comply with legal obligations, protect our rights, and prevent misuse of the site.

How We Share Information

We do not sell personal information. We may share information only when necessary to operate the website or comply with legal requirements.

  • With service providers who support website hosting, content management, communications, and form processing.
  • With professional advisers, regulators, law enforcement, or public authorities when required by law or to protect legitimate interests.
  • With an acquiring or successor organization if the platform, its operations, or related activities are reorganized or transferred.

Cookies and Third-Party Services

The website uses essential technical cookies and similar technologies required for security, delivery, and embedded functionality. The platform is built on the following core services:

  • Vercel for website hosting, content delivery, and infrastructure logging.
  • Sanity for content management and content infrastructure.
  • Tally for embedded forms used to collect inquiries, registrations, and submissions.

These providers may process technical information such as device, browser, IP address, or interaction data as needed to deliver their services. Their handling of information is governed by their own privacy terms.

Data Retention

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including responding to inquiries, managing participation in initiatives, maintaining records, resolving disputes, and meeting legal or operational requirements. Specific retention periods will be defined as the platform matures.

International Processing

Our website infrastructure and service providers may process information outside Curaçao, including in the United States and the European Union. Where this happens, we take reasonable steps to ensure information is handled with appropriate safeguards and only for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or disclosure. No website or internet transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
