Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 2026
Information We Collect
We collect information you provide directly when you create an account, including your name, email address, phone number, username, and venture profile details. We also automatically collect usage data such as pages visited, features used, and device information when you interact with the platform.
How We Use Your Information
We use your information to provide and improve our services, power AI-driven co-founder matching, facilitate fundraising and investor connections, communicate with you about your account, and ensure platform security. We never sell your personal data to third parties.
Data Sharing
We share limited data with service providers who help us operate the platform (such as cloud hosting and email delivery), when required by law, or when you explicitly choose to share your venture profile or investor package with other users. Investor package sharing is always initiated by you.
Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures including encryption, access controls, and regular security audits. Row-level security ensures you only access data you are authorized to see. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.
Your Rights
You can access, update, or request deletion of your personal data at any time. Your username, email, phone, and name are set during signup and locked after verification for identity integrity. You can export your venture data or close your account by contacting support.
Cookies
We use essential cookies to maintain your session and authentication state. We do not use third-party advertising cookies. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some features may not function properly.
Data Retention
We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. If you close your account, we delete your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law or for legitimate business records.
Contact Us
If you have questions about this privacy policy or your data, contact us at hello@sparkforgehq.com. We are based in Lagos, Nigeria and comply with applicable Nigerian data protection regulations.
