Your Privacy Matters to Us

Risenfinity ("we", "our", or "us") is a global platform that connects founders, investors, and businesses through strategic growth ecosystems. This Privacy Policy governs how we collect, process, store, and protect personal data obtained through our website at www.risenfinity.com, our services, and any related communications.

Sharing & Disclosure

Risenfinity does not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to external parties. We may share your data in limited, specific circumstances described below.

• With your consent: We may share your startup or investor profile with vetted network partners or potential co-investors when you explicitly authorise us to do so as part of the advisory process.
• Service providers: Trusted third-party vendors who assist with website hosting, analytics, CRM, and communication tools — bound by strict confidentiality agreements.
• Legal compliance: We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or government authority in India, UAE, UK, or Singapore.
• Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or restructuring of Risenfinity, your data may be transferred subject to the same privacy protections.
• Protection of rights: Where necessary to enforce our Terms of Use, protect our legal interests, or prevent harm to any party.

Data Security

We implement industry-standard technical and organisational measures to safeguard your personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

• Encrypted data transmission using TLS/SSL protocols across all web interactions.
• Access controls ensuring only authorised Risenfinity personnel can view sensitive client data.
• Regular security reviews and vulnerability assessments of our platform infrastructure.
• Confidential handling of all pitch documents, financial data, and investor information shared through our advisory engagements.

While we maintain robust security practices, no method of internet transmission is entirely secure. In the unlikely event of a data breach that poses a risk to your rights, we will notify you and relevant authorities within the timeframes required by applicable law.
