Privacy Policy

We collect personal information from entrepreneurs, limited partners, service providers, and other stakeholders in our investment ecosystem. This includes contact details such as name, email address, phone number, and business address when you engage with our investment activities, submit pitch decks, or participate in our portfolio events.

For investment-related activities, we may collect financial information, business plans, market research, due diligence materials, and other proprietary information necessary for investment evaluation. We also collect professional background information, including employment history, education, and references for key management personnel of potential portfolio companies.

Our website automatically collects technical information such as IP addresses, browser types, and usage patterns to improve our digital presence and analyze website performance.

We use your information primarily for investment evaluation, due diligence, and portfolio management activities. This includes assessing investment opportunities, conducting background checks, facilitating communications between stakeholders, and providing ongoing support to our portfolio companies.

Your data helps us maintain relationships with limited partners, prepare regulatory filings, generate investment reports, and comply with anti-money laundering and know-your-customer requirements. We also use aggregated and anonymized data to analyze market trends, evaluate investment performance, and enhance our investment strategies.

Professional information may be used to verify credentials, assess management capabilities, and facilitate introductions within our network of entrepreneurs, investors, and industry experts.

We do not sell or commercially exploit your personal information. However, we may share your data with our limited partners, co-investors, portfolio companies, and professional service providers (including lawyers, accountants, and consultants) as necessary for investment activities and fund operations.

We may disclose information to comply with regulatory requirements, including reporting obligations to securities regulators, tax authorities, and other governmental agencies. In connection with potential investments, we may share relevant information with our investment committee, advisory board members, and external advisors.

If we undergo a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred to the acquiring entity, subject to the same privacy protections outlined in this policy.

You have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal information, subject to our legal and contractual obligations. Given the nature of venture capital investments, some information may need to be retained for regulatory compliance, tax purposes, or ongoing fund management even after our business relationship ends.

You may opt out of non-essential communications, though certain investment-related communications may be required by law or contract. You can update your contact preferences by contacting us directly or using the unsubscribe options in our communications.

If you are subject to GDPR or other privacy regulations, you may have additional rights including data portability and the right to object to certain processing activities. Contact us to exercise these rights or raise concerns.

We implement institutional-grade security measures to protect sensitive investment information and personal data. Our safeguards include encryption, secure data transmission, access controls, and regular security assessments. We work with trusted service providers who maintain similar security standards.

Given the long-term nature of venture capital investments, we retain information for extended periods as required for fund management, regulatory compliance, and tax obligations. Portfolio company information may be retained for the life of our investment plus applicable legal retention periods.

Personal information is securely disposed of when no longer required, following industry best practices for data destruction and ensuring compliance with applicable regulations.

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our investment activities, legal requirements, or industry best practices. Any material changes will be communicated to affected parties through appropriate channels, including email notifications to active stakeholders.

For significant changes affecting your rights or our data processing activities, we may seek your consent where required by law. Your continued engagement with our investment activities after policy updates constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or our data practices, please contact us at privacy@altaraventures.com.
