Privacy notice

Who is responsible

Capital Radar is the controller for the processing described here. We are a UK-based business operating capitalradar.vc. Contact us at hello@capitalradar.vc for privacy questions or to exercise your rights. Applicable contracting and invoicing details are supplied before a paid subscription begins.

Data we collect

• Account and access-request information, including name, email, company, job title, use case and authentication identifiers.
• Newsletter choices and evidence of consent, including confirmation and unsubscribe status.
• Subscription and transaction references supplied by our payment provider; Capital Radar does not store complete card details.
• Support messages, product feedback and security/technical logs needed to operate and protect the service.
• Professional information about LPs, GPs, funds, companies and business contacts obtained from public websites, user-authorised uploads and licensed or authorised data services. This can include a business name, role, work email, professional profile and organisation affiliation.

Why we use it

• To provide accounts, subscriptions, requested research and customer support, and to administer our contract.
• To send the newsletter when you consent and to record or honour opt-outs.
• To review platform access, prevent abuse, secure the service and improve reliability based on our legitimate interests.
• To build source-backed professional market intelligence based on our legitimate interests in providing B2B research, balanced against the rights of the people concerned.
• To comply with tax, accounting, fraud-prevention and other legal obligations.

Sources and sharing

Information may come directly from you, your organisation, public professional sources, authorised CSV uploads, data vendors and data-collection services. We use service providers for hosting and database services (Vercel and Supabase), payments (Stripe) and email delivery (Resend). They process data under their own contractual and security commitments. We may disclose data where required by law or in a business reorganisation; we do not sell newsletter subscriber lists.

International transfers

Some providers may process data outside the UK. Where required, we rely on recognised safeguards such as adequacy regulations or approved contractual clauses and conduct proportionate transfer assessments.

Retention

Active account and subscription records are kept while the relationship continues and then for the period needed for legal, tax, security and dispute purposes. Access requests that do not progress are reviewed for deletion after 24 months. Newsletter consent and suppression records are retained for as long as needed to demonstrate consent and ensure an opt-out is respected. Professional market data is reviewed, corrected, suppressed or deleted when it is no longer accurate, relevant or lawfully required.

Your rights

Depending on the circumstances, you may ask for access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability or objection, and may withdraw newsletter consent at any time. You may also object to use of your professional data for our B2B intelligence and ask us to suppress it. Email us with enough information to identify the relevant record. You can complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.

Changes

We will publish material changes here and, where appropriate, notify account holders or subscribers. This notice does not remove any rights provided by applicable data-protection law.
