1. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly to us, including:

  • Identity information: full name, date of birth, nationality, and government-issued ID details
  • Contact information: email address, phone number, and mailing address
  • Financial information: IBAN, bank account details, investment commitments, and capital call history
  • KYC/AML documentation: identity documents, beneficial ownership records, and compliance declarations

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Operate and maintain the Seedra Connect platform
  • Process KYC and AML compliance checks
  • Manage fund subscriptions, capital calls, and distributions
  • Send you important platform notifications and updates

3. Information Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share it only in the following circumstances:

  • With General Partners and fund managers as required for fund administration
  • With regulatory authorities when required by applicable law
  • With third-party service providers who assist us in operating the platform, under strict confidentiality agreements
  • In connection with a corporate transaction such as a merger or acquisition

4. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your personal information, including encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access controls, and regular security audits. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.

5. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active and for a period thereafter as required by applicable financial regulations and legal obligations. You may request deletion of your data subject to regulatory retention requirements.

We use essential cookies to maintain your session and remember your preferences (such as language and theme). We do not use tracking or advertising cookies. You can control cookie settings through your browser.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. We will notify you of significant changes by email or via a prominent notice on the platform. Your continued use of Seedra Connect after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or wish to exercise your data rights, please contact the platform administrator or reach out to Seedra Ventures through the official contact channels provided in your onboarding documentation.

10. Startup Applicants (Public Application Form)

This section applies if you submit your company through our public Startup Application Form and do not hold a Seedra Connect account. For applicant data it replaces sections 1 and 5 above, which describe investor accounts and cannot apply to someone with no account.

  • What we collect: your name, work e-mail address and LinkedIn profile (personal data), together with the company information you enter, including revenue to date, ARR, projected revenue, monthly burn rate, previous and current round size, valuation and available allocation, plus your pitch deck (commercially sensitive information about your company and, potentially, about third parties).
  • Why we collect it: solely to evaluate your application for a possible investment by Seedra Ventures. We do not use it for marketing, we do not sell it, and we do not use it for any other purpose.
  • Who can see it: only Seedra Ventures staff involved in reviewing your application. Your application is not shared with our limited partners, with portfolio companies, or with any other third party unless we have a separate conversation with you first and you agree to it.
  • Your pitch deck specifically: it is stored as an internal, investment-team-only document and is never published to the limited partner portal. If we move your application forward in our pipeline, that step by itself does not make your deck visible to limited partners; any sharing beyond our investment team still requires a separate conversation with you.
  • How long we keep it: if we do not take your application forward, the application and the pitch deck are retained for 24 months from the date you submitted them, and are then deleted. This 24-month period is what applies to applicants, in place of the account-lifetime rule in section 5.
  • Your rights: you may ask us at any time to confirm what we hold about you, to correct it, or to delete it before the 24 months elapse, using the contact channels in section 9.
  • Confidentiality: all submissions are confidential and used solely for investment review purposes.
