Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Fundiesel Private Limited handles personal data when you visit our website, create an account, complete verification, use discovery features, connect with another user, or contact us. By creating an account or using Fundiesel, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to this policy.

Fundiesel Private Limited is responsible for the personal data described in this policy. This policy does not cover a third party's independent handling of information after you leave Fundiesel or connect with another user.

Depending on how you use Fundiesel, you may provide:

• Account details, such as your name, email address, phone number, role, and sign-in information.
• Founder or investor profile details, including professional, company, sector, stage, preference, and financial information.
• Verification details, such as GSTIN information, identity-verification results, or documents used to assess eligibility.
• Connection decisions, saved or passed profiles, notes, support messages, and other actions you take in the product.
• Billing details and transaction records, while payment-card information may be handled directly by a payment provider.

When you use Fundiesel, we may collect device and browser information, IP address, approximate location derived from IP, pages viewed, referring pages, timestamps, diagnostic data, and interactions with platform features.

We use cookies and similar technologies as described in our Cookie Policy.

We use personal data to:

• Create and secure accounts, authenticate users, and provide the features you request.
• Build profiles, support discovery, calculate relevance signals, and manage mutual connections.
• Review eligibility, prevent fraud and misuse, and protect users and the platform.
• Process payments, credits, and account limits and maintain related records.
• Respond to support requests and send service, verification, security, and account notices.
• Understand performance, fix errors, improve the product, and comply with legal obligations.

Fundiesel is designed to limit identity exposure during discovery. Before a mutual connection, other users may see an anonymised or limited version of your profile rather than your direct identity or contact details.

When both parties accept a connection, the platform may reveal the identity and contact information identified in the product. Profile visibility and connection controls may differ by role, account state, and feature.

Verification information is used to assess platform eligibility, reduce misuse, and meet applicable obligations. Access is limited to authorised personnel and service providers who need it for those purposes.

Where a verification provider can confirm a result without sending us the underlying document, we aim to store the result and necessary reference data rather than a full copy. The exact information handled depends on the verification method shown to you.

We may share information:

• With another user when you choose to publish profile information or both parties accept a connection.
• With vendors that provide hosting, security, analytics, communications, payments, support, or verification services for us.
• With professional advisers, auditors, insurers, or financing counterparties under appropriate confidentiality obligations.
• When required by law, legal process, or a valid government request, or when necessary to protect rights, safety, and platform integrity.
• As part of a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganisation, or sale of assets, subject to appropriate safeguards.

We keep personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described here, including providing the service, maintaining security and transaction records, resolving disputes, and meeting legal obligations.

Retention depends on the type of information, account status, sensitivity, and legal requirements. When information is no longer needed, we delete it or de-identify it, unless continued retention is required by law.

We use administrative, technical, and organisational safeguards intended to protect personal data. No online service can guarantee absolute security, so please use a unique sign-in method, protect access to your email account, and contact us if you suspect misuse.

You may be able to review or update profile information, control visibility, withdraw a pending action, or request account deletion through Fundiesel. You may also contact us to request access, correction, deletion, or help with a privacy concern, subject to applicable law and necessary identity checks.

You may opt out of non-essential marketing messages through the unsubscribe option provided. Service, security, and account messages may still be sent while your account remains active.

Fundiesel is intended for adults and is not directed to anyone under 18. If you believe a person under 18 has provided us with personal data, please contact us.

We may update this policy as our services or legal obligations change. We will update the date above and provide additional notice when a change is material.

Send privacy questions, requests, or complaints to support@fundiesel.com. Please describe your request clearly and include the email address associated with your account so we can verify and respond to it.
