Privacy Policy

Information in our directory

We publish professional information about featured individuals, including names, photographs, current and former roles, career histories, publicly announced investments and links to relevant sources.

This information comes from publicly available biographies, company and investment announcements, interviews, publications and other professional sources. We identify sources on individual profiles where available. We may also receive information or corrections directly from the individual or someone suggesting a profile.

We use this information to create and maintain an accurate, useful directory for founders building across Europe. We rely on our legitimate interests in publishing relevant professional information and helping founders understand investors’ experience, balanced against the rights and reasonable expectations of the people featured.

Profiles are publicly accessible and may be indexed, summarised or linked to by search engines and AI discovery services. Inclusion does not imply affiliation or endorsement.

Information you send us

If you contact us, suggest someone or request a correction, we receive the information you provide. This may include your name, email address and the contents of your message.

We use it to respond, assess suggestions, maintain accurate profiles and handle privacy requests. We rely on our legitimate interests in administering the initiative and responding to enquiries, and on legal obligations where applicable.

Website operation and cookies

Our hosting and security providers may process technical information such as IP addresses, browser details, request times and pages requested to deliver the website, prevent abuse and maintain security.

Cloudflare provides security and traffic protection and may use cookies for these purposes. We rely on our legitimate interests in maintaining a secure and reliable website.

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the website. Analytics may use cookies and process information through Google, including outside the UK or European Economic Area. We rely on consent for this analytics processing. You may withdraw consent at any time using the Analytics control in the footer.

Sharing information

Directory profiles are public. Other personal information may be processed by providers supporting our hosting, security and email services, and disclosed where required by law.

We do not share private correspondence with third parties for their own marketing.

Retention

We retain profile information while it remains relevant to the directory, reviewing it when we become aware of changes or receive corrections.

We keep correspondence only for as long as reasonably needed to address the enquiry, maintain necessary records or meet legal obligations. Technical information is retained according to the applicable hosting and security arrangements.

International processing

Our service providers may process information outside the UK or European Economic Area. Where data-protection law requires safeguards for these transfers, applicable transfer arrangements are required. You can contact us for details.

Your rights

Depending on the circumstances, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction or portability of your personal information.

You have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests, including the publication of your profile. We will assess your request in accordance with applicable law.

To exercise your rights or raise a concern, email team@winfromeurope.com. You may also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office or your relevant local data-protection authority.

Changes

We may update this policy as the initiative develops. Where required, we will bring significant changes to affected individuals’ attention.
