What the public site contains
Organisation records: name, website, country, type, what the firm states about its own investing, and the rounds we observed it in. Round records: the company, stage, amount, date and the investors a published article named, with a link to that article.
Public pages show no email addresses or phone numbers. Business contact details we hold are kept separately, are never shown on a page, and are released only to a paying customer, in an export of a list of people they chose.
Contact details we hold
We hold business contact details, email addresses and phone numbers, for people who invest in companies or work at investment firms. We get them from commercial and public directories of investors, and from the firms' own websites.
Before we provide a contact to a customer we check, where we can, that it is current and deliverable, and update it if it has changed.
We provide contacts only to a paying customer, in an export of a list of people the customer chose, for business outreach about investment. Customers agree in our terms to contact people only for that purpose, to follow the law on business email, and not to resell or republish what they receive. We keep a record of who received which contact and when, so we can answer anyone who asks where their details went.
You can ask what contact details we hold about you, ask us to correct them, or ask us to delete them and stop providing them. Use the corrections page orthe contact page. No account is needed and there is no charge. A deletion also removes your details from future customer requests.
Where it came from
Three sources, and each record can be traced to one: funding announcements in the trade press, which name investors publicly; the firms' own websites, which we fetch and read; and commercial or third-party lists, which we treat as leads to be verified rather than facts to be republished.
Our basis for publishing is legitimate interest in an accurate public record of investment activity, which is information the investors themselves announced. If you disagree that this applies to you, the removal route below is unconditional and you do not need to argue the point.
Your rights, and how to use them
You may ask what we hold about you, ask for it to be corrected, or ask for it to be removed. Use the corrections page orthe contact page. No account is needed and there is no charge. We aim to reply within a few days and to act within thirty.
A removal takes the record off the public site. It does not require us to forget that a publicly announced funding round happened, and we may keep a minimal note that a removal was requested so the record is not rebuilt by the next day's pipeline.
What else we collect
Server logs, kept briefly for security and to keep the site up. If you send a correction we store what you wrote, the address you gave us if you gave one, and a one-way hash of your IP address (the address itself is never stored) so that we can spot a flood of automated submissions.
If you create an account we keep your email address, your name if you give it, and your password only as a one-way hash that cannot be turned back into the password. We send the address two kinds of account email, and only when you ask: a link to reset your password, and a link to confirm the address.
When you join we ask a few optional questions: what you do (founder, investor, LP and so on), where you work and your title, your website and LinkedIn, the country and city you are based in, your stage, sectors, regions and cheque or round size, what you want to do here, and where you heard about us. We use the answers to decide what to show you first and to understand who uses the site. They are never shown on a public page, sold or shared. We also record the country your sign-up came from (from the request, not stored as an IP address), your browser's timezone and language, and the first page of the visit you signed up on with the site that sent you there; that last part is kept in your browser only until you close it and is sent to us only if you create an account. You can see and change all of it on My account.
The monthly market note, product news, the weekly dealflow digest and requests for a feedback call are each off until you turn them on, and can be turned off on My account or from any of those emails. We keep a record of each choice, its wording and when you made it, so that we can show what you agreed to
If you join the mailing list we store the address, the market and stage you told us, and which page you signed up from. Nothing else, and never anything bought or inferred about you. Every email carries a one-click unsubscribe, the link works without logging in, and you can also just write to us. We do not sell, rent or share the list.
We use Google Analytics to count visits and see which pages are useful, so we can improve the site. It sets a few first-party cookies (named _ga) and sends Google the pages you view, roughly where you are (country and city, not your full IP address) and your browser and device. Google Signals and advertising features are switched off: you are not followed to other sites or shown ads because of it. Visits are kept for 14 months. You can turn it off below, without an account, and it stays off on this browser; a browser that sends Global Privacy Control is never measured. No advertising trackers, and no other analytics. Cloudflare serves the site and processes requests on our behalf.
