Last updated: March 17, 2026

Vertical Horizons Power Innovations, Inc. (aka “Vertical Semiconductor”) (“we,”“us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information when you visit www.verticalsemi.com or otherwise interact with us.

‍1. Information we collect
‍We may collect the following categories of information.
‍
‍Information you provide directly

- Any information you include in a contact form, inquiry, or email

‍Information collected automatically
- IP address
- Browser type
- Device information
- Basic website request and security logs
- Cookie and similar technology information necessary for site operation

At this time, we use essential website and security technologies and do not use advertising cookies or similar cross-site tracking technologies on this website. Based on Cloudflare’s documentation, “_cfuvid” is used for RateLimiting Rules and is described as a necessary/security-related cookie.

‍2. How we collect information
‍We collect personal information:
- directly from you when you submit a form or contact us
- automatically when you use the site
- from service providers that help us host, secure, and operate the website

‍3. Why we use personal information
‍We use personal information to:
- provide and operate the website
- respond to inquiries and communicate with you
- maintain website security and prevent abuse
- troubleshoot, maintain, and improve the site
- comply with legal obligations

If GDPR applies, the legal bases we rely on may include:
- your consent
- performance of a contract or pre-contractual steps
- our legitimate interests in operating, securing, and improving the site
- compliance with legal obligations. GDPR requires controllers to identify the purposes and legal     bases for processing in their privacy notice.

‍4. Cookies and similar technologies
‍We use cookies and similar technologies that are necessary for the website to function and remain secure.

For example, our infrastructure provider, Cloudflare, may set cookiessuch as “_cfuvid” to support security and rate limiting functions. Cloudflare documents “_cfuvid” as used by Rate Limiting Rules to distinguish users sharing the same IP address when that configuration is enabled.

You can manage cookie-related preferences through our cookie settings tool where available.

‍5. Disclosure of personal information
‍We may disclose personal information to vendors and service providers that help us operate the site and our business, such as:
- website hosting providers
- security and infrastructure providers
- email or form processing providers
- government authorities or other parties when required by law

We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. Under California law, “share” includes sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising.

‍6. Data retention
‍We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to meet legal, operational, and security needs. California law requires businesses to disclose retention periods or the criteria used to determine them in their privacy policy.
