Privacy Policy

MarketGlide is the data controller for the processing described in this policy. For any data-protection enquiry — access, deletion, portability, correction, or withdrawal of consent — please email harout@ventureswb.com.

We collect three broad categories of data.

• Personal data — information you provide to us directly: name, email, phone, country of residence, investment profile, net worth range, and (where applicable) representations about your sophisticated-investor status, principal authority documentation, and proof of funds.
• Behavioural and usage data — records of your interactions with the platform: logins, deal-room views, NDA signatures, expressions of interest, saved opportunities, documents downloaded, questions asked, course progress, and platform navigation events.
• Transactional data — records of commitments, wire transfers, subscription documents, and distributions received.

• To verify your eligibility as a sophisticated or high-net-worth investor, in compliance with the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 and related UK regulations.
• To operate the platform — surfacing relevant opportunities, personalising your dashboard, and delivering member services.
• To improve the platform — analysing aggregate usage patterns to refine features, content, and communications.
• To communicate with you — transactional emails, deal notifications, regulatory notices, and (where you have not opted out) updates about new opportunities.
• To meet our legal, regulatory, and accounting obligations — including anti-money-laundering, know-your-customer, and financial-records retention.

We do not sell your personal data to third parties and we do not use your data for third-party advertising.

We share personal data only with:

• Service providers who operate the platform under data-processing agreements (hosting, email delivery, payment processors, document-generation providers, and customer-support tools).
• Regulators, auditors, and law enforcement where we are legally required to do so.
• Special-purpose vehicles you invest through, and their administrators, legal counsel, and auditors — in each case only the information required to complete and maintain your investment.
• Introducing partners ring-fenced to your relationship with them, where you were introduced by a MarketGlide partner.

We retain different categories of data for different periods, reflecting our legal and regulatory obligations.

• Financial and regulatory records — commitments, subscription documents, KYC/AML records, wire records, tax reporting: 7 years from the later of commitment date or last distribution, in line with FCA record-keeping expectations and UK tax legislation.
• Behavioural and usage data — audit logs, document-download logs, deal-view logs: 2 years from the date of the event, after which records are aggregated and the raw per-user event data deleted.
• Marketing and preference data — retained until you opt out or for 24 months after last interaction, whichever is shorter.
• Declined applications — retained for 6 years to evidence fair dealing and to comply with regulatory enquiries.

Under the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, you have the following rights in relation to personal data we hold about you:

• Access — obtain a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Rectification — ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Erasure — request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes collected, subject to our regulatory retention obligations.
• Portability — receive a structured, machine-readable copy of data you have provided to us.
• Restriction and objection — limit how we process your data and object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing.
• Withdrawal of consent — where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out beforehand.

To exercise any right, email harout@ventureswb.com. We respond within one month.

You also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ico.org.uk).

We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. This includes transport-layer encryption (TLS) for all traffic, encryption at rest for stored data, per-investor watermarking of confidential documents, and role-based access controls on our internal admin surfaces.

No system is perfectly secure. If you have any concerns, contact us at harout@ventureswb.com.

Where personal data is transferred outside the United Kingdom, we ensure an adequate level of protection through UK-approved safeguards such as the International Data Transfer Agreement or the UK International Data Transfer Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.

We use strictly necessary cookies for authentication and session management. We use minimal first-party analytics to measure aggregate platform performance. We do not use third-party advertising cookies, cross-site trackers, or social-media pixels.

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be notified to members by email. The most current version is always published at /privacy.
