What is collected, and why

Who processes it

Information about companies and founders

Company profiles use information the company or the press has published: website, sector, location, funding announcements, and founders' names where they are public. A founder who wrote to the site may be quoted, and is told so in advance.

Changing or removing something

To correct or remove anything about you or your company, including a founder quote or your email from the newsletter, use Suggest an update on the company's page or the + form on the map, or reply to any email you received from the site. Requests are handled within a few working days.

How long it is kept

Form emails are kept as long as they are useful for replying and keeping the listing accurate. Newsletter addresses are kept until you unsubscribe. Visit statistics are kept in aggregate.
