Privacy Policy

At Deployed (“we,” “us,” “our”), your privacy and trust are of the utmost importance. This Privacy and Confidentiality Policy outlines how we collect, use, store, share, and protect information on our platform. By accessing or using our services, you agree to the practices described in this Policy.

We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of discretion and security when handling personal and business-related information, while also maintaining the operational flexibility to improve our platform, develop strategic partnerships, and enhance value for all users.

1. Information We Collect

We collect both personally identifiable information (“Personal Data”) and non-personally identifiable information (“Non-Personal Data”) in the following ways:

• Information You Provide Directly: When you sign up, request access, complete forms, or communicate with us, we collect information such as your name, email, firm affiliation, role, region, and other identifiers.
• Behavioral & Analytical Data: We collect data related to how you use the platform (e.g., page visits, search queries, time spent, downloads), device type, browser, IP address, and usage patterns.
• Third-Party & Public Data: We may enhance platform content by supplementing internal records with data obtained from public filings, open sources, or licensed third-party vendors.

2. Our Commitment to Confidentiality

We recognize that users of our platform operate in high-stakes, highly confidential industries such as private equity, venture capital, family office investment, and M&A advisory. Accordingly:

• We do not publicly disclose any personal information, usage behavior, or affiliation without your express consent.
• All user communications and interaction with the platform are treated with strict confidentiality protocols internally.
• We maintain internal access controls, employee NDAs, and auditing policies to protect confidential information from unauthorized access.

3. Use of Information

We use your information to:

• Authenticate and manage user access to the platform.
• Improve and personalize the user experience.
• Maintain platform functionality and security.
• Conduct analytics to improve content, engagement, and performance.
• Create anonymized or aggregated data sets for strategic analysis and commercial use.

4. Controlled Information Sharing

While we do not sell your personally identifiable information in a manner that links your identity to sensitive activity without your explicit permission, we do reserve the right to:

• Share aggregated, de-identified, or anonymized user behavior and trend data with institutional partners, service providers, or for commercial insight purposes.
• License access to curated segments or metadata generated from platform usage, without ever exposing underlying confidential user details.

In plain terms: We do not reveal who you are or what you’ve searched — but we may analyze how our community behaves as a whole and offer insights to select commercial partners.

5. Data Retention & Deletion

We retain personal and behavioral data for as long as is necessary to provide services, comply with legal obligations, and support legitimate business interests. You may request access, correction, or deletion of your data at any time by contacting us at support@deployed.capital.

You have the right to make a complaint at any time to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority for data protection issues (www.ico.org.uk). We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach the ICO so please contact us in the first instance, and we will address your complaint and assist you to the best of our ability.

6. Security of Your Information

We use advanced administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to protect data from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include:

• End-to-end encryption of sensitive fields.
• Firewall and intrusion monitoring systems.
• Access restrictions based on role and need.
• Regular audits and vulnerability assessments.

While no system can be guaranteed 100% secure, we take your data protection seriously and continuously update our security architecture to align with best practices.

7. International Use & Compliance

If you are accessing the platform from jurisdictions with specific privacy requirements (e.g., the EU under GDPR), please refer to our GDPR Compliance Policy for more information. By using the platform, you consent to the transfer, processing, and storage of your data in accordance with applicable laws.

8. Changes to This Policy

We reserve the right to update or modify this Privacy and Confidentiality Policy at any time. Material changes will be communicated via the platform or email. Continued use of the platform constitutes acceptance of these terms.
