What personal data do we collect and why?

If you are just browsing our website, we will not collect any personal data.

Cookies

We will collect information about your usage of our website through cookies. Please see our Cookie Policy. This information is statistical and aggregated and does not identify you (so it is not personal data). We use it to monitor usage of the website and improve our products and services.

Marketing

If you sign up to receive our marketing emails, we will use your name and email address to send you the material you have requested. We will only send you marketing where we have your consent to do so. You can withdraw your consent at any time if you change your mind by contacting us at the details set out above or clicking the unsubscribe link in the emails that you receive.

Application

If you choose to apply for investment, we will review to consider your application for potential investment. If your application contains any information about you, we will use that information only in the context of reviewing your application. We only process personal data that you provide to us. You can object to processing of your personal data on the grounds of legitimate interest (see the ‘Your Rights’ section). However, bear in mind that if you do, we will not be able to review your application.

Who will have access to your personal data?

We use service providers to operate our website, such as the email marketing service, Mailchimp, and the data processor system, Jotform. Some of these service providers will process your data as part of the services they offer to us. We take steps to ensure that our service providers treat your data in accordance with the law, only use it in accordance with our contract with them and keep it secure. We will never pass your details to third parties to market to you.

Security

To protect your personal data, we take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to make sure it is not lost, misused or inappropriately accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed.

Deletion

We will retain details connected to marketing until you tell us that you no longer wish to receive the subscription or marketing material. We will keep your application for up to 10 years.

(a)   the right to access;
