Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how FLAIRBE, LLC ("Y Combinator", "we") collects, uses and protects personal information when you visit novantar.com, apply to our three-month accelerator program, use our free resources (Startup School, Work at a Startup, Co-Founder Matching, Startup Directory, Startup Library), or buy from us. Effective date: 2026-09-27.

Who we are

FLAIRBE, LLC, registration 2026-002005687, 7345 W SAND LAKE RD STE 210 OFFICE 3948, ORLANDO, FLORIDA 32819. Contact: [email protected] · +18664282030.

We are the controller of the personal information described below. You can reach a human at the e-mail or phone above during business hours.

Information we collect

Information you give us: name, e-mail, phone, billing address, company or startup name, co-founder details and anything you write in an application, an office-hours request, a Co-Founder Matching profile or a message to us.

Information collected automatically: device and browser type, IP address, pages visited, referring ad or link, and cookies or similar technologies.

Information from payment processors: confirmation that a payment was approved or declined. We do not store full card numbers.

We do not ask for and do not want health information, financial account statements or other sensitive personal data. Please do not include them in free-text fields.

How we use it

To review applications and admit founders to the winter, spring, summer or fall batch; to schedule office hours, the in-person kickoff, weekly meetups, talks and Demo Day; to give access to the Bookface platform and the alumni community; and to answer your requests.

To process any payment, send transactional messages, improve the website, prevent fraud and abuse, and — with your consent where required — send marketing e-mails and measure advertising.

We never use application content to make claims about a founder's health or personal condition, and we never send such data to any advertising platform.

Cookies, pixels and advertising

Google: we use Google Analytics cookies to measure traffic and Google Ads remarketing cookies to show our ads to people who have already visited novantar.com. You can opt out at Google Ads Settings or with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

Meta: we use the Meta Pixel and the Meta Conversions API to measure page views, applications started and purchases. Only event data such as page URL, event name and a hashed e-mail are sent. No health data, no medical or personal condition, and no application content is ever sent to Meta.

TikTok: we use the TikTok Pixel to measure ad performance. Only standard events are sent; no sensitive data is transmitted.

Native advertising: Taboola, Outbrain and NewsBreak set cookies and similar identifiers when you arrive from one of their recommendation widgets, so they can attribute the visit and limit how often you see our ads. Each network offers an opt-out in its own privacy centre.

You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking analytics or advertising cookies does not affect your ability to apply to the program.

Sharing

We share information only with providers that help us operate: hosting, the Bookface platform, payment processing, e-mail and scheduling tools, and analytics and advertising measurement.

We also share when required by law or to protect our rights, and in a merger, acquisition or other business transfer.

We do not sell your personal information and we do not share it with data brokers.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (including California and other U.S. states), you may request access, correction, deletion or portability of your data, and you may opt out of targeted advertising.

Write to [email protected] from the address on file, or call +18664282030. We will verify your identity before acting and will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.

Retention and security

We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes above or as required by law — for example, application records are kept so that founders can reapply to a later batch, and tax records for the period the law requires.

We protect information with reasonable technical and organizational measures, including access controls and encrypted transmission. No system is perfectly secure.

Children and age

Our website is not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their information. Purchases and paid engagements on novantar.com are for adults 18 or older.

Changes and contact

We may update this policy; the effective date above shows the latest version. Material changes will be signalled on this page.
