Boston500 Privacy Policy

Effective Date: January 01, 2026

At Boston500.com, we respect the privacy of our Partners, our Fellows, and our visitors. This policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your information within the Boston 500 Alliance ecosystem.

1. Information We Collect

We collect only the information necessary to provide our manual and AI-driven marketing services:

  • Partner Data: Business name, website URL, contact email, and the “subjective” insights provided during onboarding.

  • Asset Data: Logos, images, and videos harvested from your website or uploaded via Google Drive for your Pillar Profile and YouTube features.

  • Fellow Data: Names, educational background, and contact details for those participating in our scholarship and internship programs.

  • Payment Data: All financial transactions are handled securely through PayPal. Boston500.com does not store credit card numbers or bank account details on our servers.

2. How We Use Your Information

  • Manual Profile Creation: Our team uses your data to hand-craft your Pillar Profile and optimize it for search engines.

  • Online Marketing: We may use your business assets like logo and images to generate social media content via our AI systems (Gemini, ChatGPT, Grok, Llama).

  • Community Impact: Fellow data is used exclusively for the administration of scholarships and connecting students with Partner internship opportunities.

  • Communication: We use email to provide ongoing support, profile previews, and real-time links to your social media tracking sheets.

3. Data Sharing & Third Parties

  • No Sale of Data: We do not sell, rent, or lease our Partner or Fellow lists to third parties.

  • Social Media Platforms: When we amplify your business, your public business information is shared on LinkedIn, Facebook, and X (Twitter) as part of the service.

  • Service Providers: We use trusted tools (Google Workspace, PayPal, and leading LLMs from Google, Meta, and Microsoft) to facilitate our services. These providers have their own strict privacy protocols.

4. AI Data Processing

  • As an AI-forward platform, we process business descriptions through Large Language Models to create marketing content. We do not input sensitive, private, or non-public personal information into these AI systems.

5. Security Protocols

  • Cybersecurity: We employ industry-standard encryption and security measures to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure of your information.

  • Access Control: Access to Partner and Fellow data is restricted to the Boston 500 founding team.

6. Your Rights & Control

  • Updates: Partners may request updates or corrections to their profile data at any time via email support.

  • Data Portability: Fellows may request a summary of their participation and scholarship status.

  • Opt-Out: While active partnership requires a public profile, you may request the removal of your profile upon the termination of your annual membership.

7. Changes to This Policy

  • We may update this Privacy Policy as our “Roadmap to 1 Million” evolves. Partners will be notified of any significant changes via the email address on file.
