Cookie Policy

1. How We Use Local Storage

At VentureUg, we prioritize a fast, seamless, and private user experience. Instead of using intrusive third-party tracking cookies, our platform relies primarily on your browser's nativelocalStorage mechanism.

This means the vast majority of your session data—including your saved business plans, pinned locations, and AI chat history—is stored locally on your physical device rather than on our servers.

2. What We Store

• Authentication Tokens: Secure tokens to keep you logged into the platform.
• Business Plans: Drafts, notes, and goals you enter into the Business Plan generator.
• Chat History: The context and history of your conversations with the Area Assistant AI.
• Preferences: UI state preferences, such as closing the cookie consent banner.

3. Third-Party Services

We do not sell your data to advertisers. However, we do utilize essential third-party services for core functionality, which may set their own strictly necessary cookies:

• Map Infrastructure: Mapbox and Leaflet may set technical cookies required to render interactive map tiles.
• Payment Gateways: When verifying MoMo or processing payments, our payment providers may require session cookies to securely process transactions.

4. Clearing Your Data

Because your business plans and chat histories are stored locally, you have total control over them. You can instantly wipe all of your VentureUg data by clearing your browser's local storage and cache, or by using the 'Delete' options built into the platform's UI.
