Privacy policy
VentNoraLast updated 1 June 2026
This policy explains what personal data VentNora (“VentNora”, “we”) collects through ventnora.com and in the course of our work with founders, investors and candidates, why we collect it, and what rights you have. VentNora is the controller of that data.
1. Information we collect
Information you give us
- Contact details — name, email address, company, role and anything else you include when you email us, subscribe to the newsletter or submit a form.
- Pitch and company materials — decks, financial summaries, product information and founder biographies you share with us while we evaluate an opportunity.
- Candidate information — CVs and application details, whether sent to us directly or shared with us by a portfolio company for a role we are helping to fill.
- Event details — registration information and, where relevant, accessibility or dietary requirements you choose to tell us.
Information we collect automatically
- IP address, approximate location derived from it, browser and device type, operating system and language.
- Pages viewed, referring page, time on page and links clicked.
- Email engagement, such as whether a newsletter was opened or a link in it was followed.
Information from other sources
- Public sources such as company registries, company websites, conference listings and news coverage.
- Professional networks and market data providers we use for research.
- Introductions from mutual contacts, including people in our network who refer a founder or a candidate to us.
2. How we use it
- To respond to you and to run the conversation that follows an introduction or a pitch.
- To evaluate potential investments and to carry out diligence.
- To manage our existing investments and support portfolio companies, including hiring support.
- To send the newsletter and other updates you have asked for.
- To operate, secure and improve the site, including aggregate analytics.
- To meet legal, regulatory, tax, anti-money-laundering and know-your-customer obligations.
- To establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
We do not sell personal data, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioural advertising.
3. Legal bases (EEA and UK)
- Legitimate interests — evaluating opportunities, running and improving our business and site, network research and security. We balance these against your rights.
- Consent — newsletter subscriptions and non-essential cookies. You can withdraw consent at any time.
- Contract — steps taken at your request before or under an agreement with us.
- Legal obligation — regulatory, tax and compliance requirements.
4. Cookies and similar technologies
We keep cookie use to a minimum. The categories we may set are:
- Strictly necessary — needed for the site to load, to balance traffic and to protect against abuse. These cannot be switched off.
- Preferences — remember choices such as a dismissed banner.
- Analytics — help us understand which pages are read and where people leave. We use aggregated reporting and do not attempt to identify individual visitors from it.
Non-essential cookies are set only where you have consented, or where local law permits them without consent. You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings; strictly necessary cookies are required for parts of the site to work correctly. Embedded third-party content, such as a video player, may set its own cookies under that provider’s policy.
5. Who we share it with
- Service providers — hosting, email delivery, analytics, document storage, CRM and security vendors, acting on our instructions under contract.
- Professional advisers — lawyers, accountants and auditors, bound by professional duties of confidentiality.
- Co-investors and syndicate partners — where you have asked us to make an introduction or where sharing is a normal part of a financing you are pursuing.
- Portfolio companies — for candidate referrals, with your knowledge.
- Authorities — where we are legally required to disclose, or to protect our rights and the safety of others.
- Successors — in connection with a reorganisation of the firm or a transfer of its business.
6. How long we keep it
We keep personal data only as long as we need it. Newsletter data is kept until you unsubscribe, plus a short suppression record so we do not contact you again. Pitch materials for companies we do not invest in are typically retained for up to twenty-four months so we can recognise your company if you come back to us, unless you ask us to delete them sooner. Records relating to investments, and records we must keep for tax, regulatory or legal reasons, are retained for the periods required by law.
7. International transfers
We operate internationally and our service providers may process data in countries other than your own, including the United States. Where personal data moves out of the EEA or the UK, we rely on an adequacy decision, the applicable Standard Contractual Clauses or the UK Addendum, together with supplementary safeguards where needed.
8. Security
We use access controls, encryption in transit, single sign-on with multi-factor authentication, vendor review and least-privilege practices internally. No system is perfectly secure, but we take incidents seriously and will notify you and any regulator where the law requires it.
9. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- access the personal data we hold about you and receive a copy;
- have inaccurate data corrected;
- have data deleted where we no longer need it;
- restrict or object to certain processing, including processing based on legitimate interests;
- receive data you provided in a portable format;
- withdraw consent at any time, without affecting earlier processing;
- opt out of marketing emails, using the unsubscribe link or by writing to us;
- not be discriminated against for exercising a privacy right.
To exercise a right, email privacy@ventnora.com. We may need to verify your identity. We aim to respond within thirty days, or within one month where UK or EU rules apply. You can also authorise an agent to act for you, subject to verification.
If you are in the EEA or the UK, you may complain to your local supervisory authority. If you are in California, we do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined under the CCPA, and we honour opt-out preference signals such as Global Privacy Control where they reach us.
10. Children
The site is intended for professional audiences and is not directed at children under sixteen. We do not knowingly collect their data; if you believe we have, contact us and we will delete it.
11. Other sites
Links to portfolio company sites, press articles and social platforms are governed by those organisations’ own privacy policies, not this one.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy. The date at the top shows when it last changed, and material changes will be highlighted on this page.
