Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Hubtree Ventures ("Hubtree," "we," "us") collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards personal information when you visit this website, contact us, subscribe to our updates, or access the portal (together, the "Services"). We have written it to reflect our commitments under applicable privacy laws, including the EU and UK GDPR and the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended (CCPA/CPRA). It is provided for general information and is not legal advice.

Information we collect

Information you provide. When you submit an investor or founder inquiry, subscribe to our newsletter, request access, or email us, we collect the details you give us, such as your name, email address, organization, role, and the contents of your message. For the portal, we collect your email to issue a one-time sign-in code.

Information collected automatically. Our hosting and security infrastructure processes limited technical data such as IP address, device and browser type, referring pages, and timestamps, primarily to deliver the site, prevent abuse, and maintain security. We do not use advertising trackers or sell behavioral profiles.

Cookies. We use strictly necessary cookies, for example to maintain an authenticated portal session. We do not use third-party advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.

How we use information

• To respond to inquiries and evaluate potential investment or partnership fit.
• To operate, secure, and improve the Services, including portal sign-in.
• To send updates you request, such as our newsletter, which you can leave at any time.
• To comply with legal obligations and to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

Legal bases (EEA and UK)

Where the GDPR applies, we rely on your consent (for example, newsletter subscriptions), our legitimate interests (operating and securing the Services and assessing inquiries), the performance of a contract or steps taken at your request, and compliance with legal obligations. You may withdraw consent at any time.

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We disclose information only to:

• Service providers who help us run the Services under contract, such as our hosting and deployment provider, our authentication provider, and email or CRM tools.
• Professional advisors and authorities where necessary to comply with law, enforce our terms, or protect rights, safety, and security.
• Parties to a corporate transaction, such as a financing or merger, subject to appropriate safeguards.

Some pages load images from third parties (for example, company logos and website preview thumbnails). Those providers may receive your IP address and standard request data as part of serving the image. We do not share your contact details with them.

International transfers

We operate globally, and your information may be processed in countries other than your own. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses, for cross-border transfers.

Data retention

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described here, to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements, after which we delete or anonymize it.

Your rights and choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, port, or restrict the processing of your personal information, to object to certain processing, and to withdraw consent. California residents may request disclosure or deletion and will not be discriminated against for exercising their rights. To make a request, email privacy@hubtree.ventures. We will verify and respond as required by law. You may unsubscribe from our newsletter using the link in any email.

Security

We apply technical and organizational measures appropriate to the risk, including encryption in transit, strict security headers and content controls, rate limiting, and access controls. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children

The Services are intended for professionals and are not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16.

Changes

We may update this Policy from time to time. We will revise the date above and, where appropriate, provide additional notice.
