Privacy Policy

Information We Collect

When you use koraviaqinal's fundraising platform, we collect several types of information to provide you with the best possible service. This includes personal details you provide directly, such as your name, email address, company information, and funding requirements when you create an account or submit applications.

For startups seeking funding through our platform, we collect additional business information including financial statements, business plans, team details, and market analysis data. This information is essential for connecting you with appropriate investors and funding opportunities.

How We Use Your Information

Your information serves several important purposes within our fundraising ecosystem. Primarily, we use your data to match startups with suitable investors, facilitate funding applications, and provide personalised recommendations based on your industry, funding stage, and business model.

We process your information to maintain and improve our platform security, prevent fraudulent activities, and ensure compliance with financial regulations. Additionally, we use aggregated, anonymised data to generate market insights and platform analytics that benefit our entire community.

For investor relations and funding facilitation, we may share specific business information with pre-approved investors who have expressed genuine interest in your sector. This sharing only occurs with your prior knowledge and consent.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

We understand that trust is paramount when dealing with sensitive business information. koraviaqinal operates on a principle of minimal data sharing, only disclosing your information when absolutely necessary for platform functionality or legal compliance.

Approved investors in our network may access business profiles and funding applications, but only after thorough verification processes and signed confidentiality agreements. We never sell your personal information to third parties or share it for marketing purposes without explicit consent.

In the event of a business merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction, but you'll be notified beforehand and given options regarding your data.

Your Rights and Control

Under UK data protection laws, you have significant control over your personal information. You can access, update, or delete your data at any time through your account dashboard or by contacting our privacy team.

You have the right to request a complete copy of all information we hold about you, including how it's being used and who it's been shared with. We'll provide this information in a clear, readable format within 30 days of your request.

Data Security and Retention

We employ enterprise-grade security measures to protect your information, including end-to-end encryption, secure data centres, and regular security audits. Our technical infrastructure meets industry standards for financial services platforms.

Personal information is retained only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined in this policy. For active accounts, we maintain your data as long as you continue using our services. After account closure, most personal information is deleted within 90 days, though some financial records may be retained longer for regulatory compliance.

We regularly back up your data to prevent loss, but these backups are encrypted and stored in secure, geographically distributed locations to ensure both security and availability.

International Data Transfers

While koraviaqinal primarily operates within the UK, our investor network spans multiple jurisdictions. When we transfer your information internationally, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, including adequacy decisions or standard contractual clauses approved by UK authorities.

All international data transfers comply with UK GDPR requirements and are subject to the same high standards of protection as data processed within the UK. We maintain detailed records of all cross-border data transfers and their legal basis.

If you have concerns about international data transfers affecting your information, please contact our privacy team who can provide specific details about safeguards in place for your data.

Minor updates, such as clarifications or administrative changes, will be posted directly to this page with an updated effective date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information.
