Privacy Policy

As a data subject, you have the following rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):

You may request information about your personal data that we process, including the purposes, categories of data, recipients of the data, storage period, and the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling.

You have the right to correct incorrect or incomplete personal data stored by us.

You may request the restriction of processing your data under certain conditions, for instance, if you dispute the accuracy of the data or object to the processing.

You may object to the processing of your data based on legitimate interests or direct marketing.

You may lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, typically in your place of residence or our company's registered office.

We collect and process your personal data for the following purposes:

We use local and session storage cookies to enable core website functionalities and enhance the user experience. Additionally, we collect data such as IP addresses, browser types, operating systems, and other relevant system information for security and stability, particularly in connection with the use of Google Search Console.

When you contact us via email or forms, we process your personal data to respond to your inquiries or provide information as requested.

When you sign up for our newsletter via Substack, we collect your email address and any other data you voluntarily provide, such as your name, to send you regular updates. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time via a link in the newsletter or in your personal substack account.

We use Google reCaptcha v3 to protect our forms from abuse and ensure submissions are made by humans. When you submit a form on our website, we collect your name, email address, and any additional information you provide. If you submit a pitch, we will use all the data you provide to assess your submission against our investment criteria. In some cases, we may share this information with potential investors, but only in strict confidence and with respect for your privacy. All shared data will be handled confidentially and used solely for the purpose of evaluating your pitch.

We use customer relationship management (CRM) systems to manage and respond to inquiries. Your data is processed only to the extent necessary for this purpose.

We consciously refrain from using Google Analytics on our website to respect your privacy and avoid burdening you with unnecessary cookie banners. By doing so, we ensure that your data is not shared with third-party tracking services, while still offering a smooth and user-friendly experience.

We do not transfer your personal data to third parties except under the following circumstances:

If you provide explicit consent for data transfer.

If required by law.

If data is necessary to fulfill a contract with you.

If we need to assert or defend legal claims, and there is no overriding interest in protecting your data.

We may share data with processors who handle data on our behalf (e.g., for newsletter distribution via Substack or CRM systems). These processors are bound by contractual agreements and process data based on our instructions.

We use appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, alteration, loss, or destruction. This includes SSL encryption for secure data transmission and regular security updates. You can recognize secure connections by the "https" prefix in the URL and the lock symbol in your browser.

When you subscribe to our newsletter, your data is processed by Substack, including your email address and any additional information you voluntarily provide, such as your name. Substack operates in compliance with GDPR requirements. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in our emails, through the unsubscribe feature in your Substack account, or by contacting us directly.

If personal data is transferred to third countries (outside the European Economic Area), we ensure that such transfers are made in compliance with Articles 44-49 GDPR, using mechanisms such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission. You will be informed if your data is transferred to a third country and what safeguards are in place.
