Privacy Policy
I. Introduction
At Starro Labs, we recognize that the information you share with us from personal contact details to foundational intellectual property is the lifeblood of your innovation. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your data when you interact with our website and intake forms.
II. Data Collection and Usage
When you engage with Starro Labs via our "Let’s Build" intake form or other communication channels, we collect the following types of information:
Personal & Professional Identifiers: Name, email address, organization/university affiliation, and professional role.
Technical Project Data: Project descriptions, Technical Readiness Levels (TRL), engineering bottlenecks, and any uploaded files (e.g., technical briefs, schematics, or research papers).
Usage Data: Standard web analytics including IP addresses, browser types, and interaction patterns on our website to help us improve our user experience.
III. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We use the data collected primarily to bridge the gap between your research and commercial reality. Specifically:
Project Evaluation: To conduct PhD led technical audits and determine if your project aligns with our expertise and resource availability.
Service Delivery: To execute the engineering, prototyping, and strategic services outlined in our Scope of Work.
Communication: To contact you regarding your inquiry, provide project updates, and share relevant technical insights or Starro Labs news.
Starro Labs maintains a high standard of confidentiality regarding your technical IP. However, to deliver our multidisciplinary services, your information may be shared in the following ways:
Internal Disclosure: Information is shared within the Starro Labs technical task force (consultants, engineers, and strategists) to evaluate and execute your project.
Strategic Partners: We may share relevant data with trusted third party partners (such as specialized fabrication houses, component vendors, or niche subject matter experts) who are essential to the prototyping or R&D process.
Service Providers: We use third-party tools for secure data storage, email communication, and project management. These providers are bound by their own privacy obligations.
Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, subpoena, or to protect the safety and integrity of our operations.
IV. Security Measures
We implement commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, loss, or disclosure. While we strive to maintain the highest levels of confidentiality, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We encourage the execution of a formal Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement (mNDA) for any deep-dive technical discussions.
Data Retention
We retain your personal and technical information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, comply with legal obligations, or resolve disputes. If your project is not selected for development, we may retain your contact info and project summary for future opportunities unless you request its deletion.
Depending on your location, you may have the right to:
Access, correct, or delete your personal data.
Object to the processing of your data.
Withdraw consent for communication at any time.
V. Changes to This Policy
Starro Labs reserves the right to update this Privacy Policy as our services and regulatory requirements evolve. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date.
