What Comes In
Information We Collect
We may collect information you submit directly through this website, including your name, email address, phone number, company name, fundraising context, and any message, deck, attachment, or supporting material you decide to send us. That can include business summaries, market context, growth information, team details, and other materials you provide as part of an introduction or application.
We may also collect technical and usage information needed to run the site properly, such as browser type, device signals, referral source, pages visited, time spent on the site, and general interaction data. This helps us understand how the website is being used, where it performs well, and where it needs improvement.
If you send founder materials, business data, or additional documents, we use them only for internal review, diligence, and follow-up connected to the opportunity you submitted. Please avoid sending trade secrets, highly sensitive regulated data, or materials that require a separate protected workflow unless we have expressly asked for them through the right process.
We may also use cookies, pixels, and similar tools to keep the site functioning as intended, understand traffic patterns, and measure basic performance. You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings, although some parts of the experience may work differently when those settings are changed.
Why We Use It
How Information Helps Us
We use submitted information to review inbound opportunities, respond to inquiries, evaluate potential partnerships, continue conversations with founders, and maintain a record of communications that may matter during follow-up. In practical terms, that means information may be reviewed by the people involved in screening, diligence, discussion, and relationship management.
We may also use information to improve the website, monitor reliability, understand what content is useful, and protect the integrity of our systems, workflows, and communication channels. We do not use personal information as a product for resale, and we do not sell personal information to third parties.
How We Hold It
Data Retention and Security
We keep information for as long as it is reasonably needed for evaluation, relationship management, legal compliance, recordkeeping, dispute resolution, and protection of legitimate business interests. Different categories of information may be kept for different periods depending on the context of the submission, the status of the relationship, and any applicable legal obligation.
We apply reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to reduce the risk of unauthorized access, misuse, loss, alteration, or disclosure. Even with responsible safeguards in place, no website, storage layer, transmission channel, or connected service can promise absolute security at all times.
Equox operates across multiple jurisdictions, so information you provide may be processed, stored, reviewed, or accessed in countries other than your own. Where that happens, the information may move through service providers, systems, or team members working in different locations as part of normal business operations.
Who Can Access It
When Information May Be Shared
We may share information with internal team members, advisors, service providers, and infrastructure partners only when access is reasonably needed to review submissions, operate the website, support communication, maintain systems, or carry out diligence connected to a possible relationship. Access is not given broadly by default and is limited to the context where it is useful.
We may also disclose information when disclosure is required by law, when it is necessary to protect rights, property, or safety, or when information is involved in a financing, restructuring, merger, acquisition, or transfer of assets. If third-party tools are used for hosting, media delivery, analytics, communications, or form handling, those providers may process information under their own terms and privacy practices.
What You Control
Your Rights and How to Reach Us
Depending on the law that applies to your situation, you may have rights to request access to personal information, ask for correction or deletion, restrict or object to certain processing, request portability, or withdraw consent where processing depends on consent. Those rights are not absolute in every case, but we will review requests in the context of the law that governs them.
We may update this policy from time to time as the website, our operations, or applicable requirements change. When we make a material update, we will revise the effective date on this page and publish the current version here so the latest terms are visible in one place.
For privacy questions, requests, or notices related to this policy, contact us at info@equox.com.
