Email: info@scalepoint-ventures.com

ScalePoint Ventures Oy is a Finnish limited company. This Privacy Policy applies to all users of the ScalePoint Ventures website and services.

2. Scope of This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how personal data is collected, used, stored, and protected when using the ScalePoint Ventures website and related services (the "Service").

ScalePoint Ventures complies with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable Finnish data protection laws.

3. Roles and Responsibilities

ScalePoint Ventures provides growth consulting, strategic advisory, and investment services for B2B and technology-driven companies.

ScalePoint Ventures acts as the data controller for personal data submitted via email contact and pitch deck submissions, including general enquiries.

4. Personal Data We Process

Depending on usage, ScalePoint Ventures may process the following categories of personal data:

a) Email Contact and Pitch Deck Submissions

Provided by individuals submitting enquiries or pitch decks via email:

• Full name
• Company name
• Email address
• Message content
• Attached files (e.g., pitch decks in PDF format)

b) Technical and Usage Data

• Log files
• IP address
• Browser and device information
• Date and time of access

Providing personal data is voluntary. The website does not operate a contact form: all enquiries reach us as ordinary email sent to our published address, so the data we receive is whatever you choose to include in that email and its attachments.

5. Purposes and Legal Basis of Processing

Personal data is processed for the following purposes and legal bases:

6. Communications

ScalePoint Ventures may use email to respond to enquiries received via email contact and pitch deck submissions. No marketing communications are sent without explicit consent.

7. Use of Service Providers

ScalePoint Ventures uses a limited number of processors, each acting only on our instructions and under a data processing agreement:

• Website hosting and content delivery, including the content delivery network operated by Cloudflare, Inc., which processes technical connection data (such as IP address and request metadata) in order to deliver and secure the website.
• Business email hosting, used to receive and answer enquiries sent to our published address.

Web fonts are served from our own domain; no fonts, analytics scripts, advertising tags, social media plugins or embedded third-party media are loaded from external providers when you visit this website.

8. International Data Transfers

Some service providers may process data outside the EU/EEA. Where applicable, data transfers are protected using standard contractual clauses or other lawful safeguards under GDPR.

9. Cookies and Local Storage

This website does not set cookies and does not write data to your browser's local or session storage. No analytics, tracking, profiling or advertising technologies are used. Because only technically necessary processing takes place, no cookie consent banner is required.

10. Data Retention

Personal data is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or as required by law. Email enquiries and submitted materials are retained for a maximum of 24 months unless an ongoing business relationship exists. Server log data is retained only for a short period for security and troubleshooting purposes. When no longer required, data is securely deleted or anonymized.

11. Data Subject Rights

Under the GDPR, you have the right to:

• Access your personal data
• Rectify inaccurate data
• Request deletion of data
• Restrict processing
• Object to processing
• Data portability
• Withdraw consent at any time

Requests can be made by contacting info@scalepoint-ventures.com.
