Respect for information is part of how we work.

Effective date: 10/10/2026

About SVL

SAFE Ventures Lab is the DBA name of Giovanni L Casanova, a sole proprietor registered in Los Angeles, California.

This policy covers SVL’s firm website and communications about potential engagements, professional relationships, and other inquiries. Client engagements may involve additional confidentiality, data-handling, and contractual requirements established separately.

Information we collect

Information you provide. When you contact SVL, we may receive your name, email address, telephone number, organization, role, and the information you include in your message or subsequent correspondence.

Information collected through the website. Our website is hosted by Squarespace. Website infrastructure and enabled analytics tools may collect technical and usage information, such as your IP address, browser and device information, pages visited, referring website, and time of access.

Please keep initial inquiries at a general business level. Do not submit passwords, financial account details, medical records, information about minors, or confidential third-party records through the website’s contact form. Where an engagement requires sensitive information, we will establish an appropriate method for receiving it.

How we use information

We use information for purposes connected to operating the website and maintaining professional relationships, including:

  • Responding to inquiries and coordinating conversations.

  • Understanding potential assignments and professional interests.

  • Maintaining correspondence and relationship records.

  • Preparing and administering authorized engagements.

  • Operating, securing, and improving the website.

  • Meeting applicable legal requirements and protecting legitimate business interests.

Submitting an inquiry does not automatically subscribe you to a marketing mailing list.

When information is shared

Information may be processed by service providers that support website hosting, email, contact management, document storage, and other business operations.

We may also share relevant information with authorized collaborators or professional advisers when needed for an agreed purpose, subject to appropriate confidentiality arrangements.

Information may be disclosed when required by law or reasonably necessary to protect legal rights, investigate misuse, or address security concerns.

Sale and advertising disclosure: SVL does not sell personal information or share it for targeted or cross-context behavioral advertising. We use information to respond to inquiries, maintain professional relationships, and administer authorized work. Service providers may process information to support these activities.

Cookies and website analytics

Squarespace uses cookies and similar technologies to support website functions. Depending on the features enabled, additional cookies may help measure visits and understand how people use the site.

You can manage cookies through your browser settings and any cookie controls provided on this website. Blocking certain cookies may affect website functionality.

Privacy signals and third-party tracking: SVL does not independently track visitors across other websites for advertising purposes. Website hosting and related technical processing are provided by Squarespace. We have not configured a separate response to browser Do Not Track signals. For information about Squarespace’s handling of browser privacy signals, including Global Privacy Control, please review the Squarespace Privacy Policy.

For more information about Squarespace’s own processing, see the Squarespace Privacy Policy

Retention and protection

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably needed for the purpose for which it was collected, including ongoing correspondence, engagement administration, recordkeeping, and applicable legal obligations.

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards appropriate to the information we handle. No website, communication channel, or storage system can guarantee absolute security.

Your choices and requests

You may contact SVL to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information you have provided, or to ask about its use.

We will review requests in accordance with applicable law. We may need to verify your identity, and some information may need to be retained for legal, contractual, or legitimate recordkeeping purposes.

You may also ask us to stop optional communications.

Children’s information

This firm website is intended for professional and business audiences. It is not directed to children under 13, and SVL does not knowingly collect their personal information through it.

If you believe a child has provided personal information through this website, please contact us so we can review and address it.

External websites

This website may link to independent organizations, publications, or services. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies.

Policy updates

We may revise this policy as our website or practices develop. We will post the revised policy here and update its effective date. Where required, we will provide additional notice of material changes.
