Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 30, 2026
Funding Discovered is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our platform.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information you provide directly when creating an account and filling out your profile. This includes your name, email address, company name, industry, stage, team size, location, and funding preferences. We also collect usage data such as pages visited, features used, and interaction patterns to improve our matching algorithms and user experience. Device and browser information, IP addresses, and referral sources are collected automatically through standard web technologies.
2. How We Use Your Information
Your profile data is used to match you with relevant accelerator programs, grants, and funding opportunities. We use your email address to send you match notifications, deadline reminders, and important account communications. Aggregated and anonymized usage data helps us improve our recommendation engine and platform features. We may use your information to provide customer support and respond to your requests. We do not use your data to make lending or credit decisions.
3. Information Sharing
We do not sell your personal information to third parties. Your profile is not shared with accelerator programs or funding organizations unless you explicitly choose to apply through our platform. We may share anonymized, aggregated data with partners for research and analytics purposes. We may disclose your information if required by law, legal process, or government request, or to protect the rights, property, and safety of Funding Discovered and our users.
4. Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data including encryption in transit (TLS) and at rest, secure authentication mechanisms, regular security audits, and access controls. We limit employee access to personal data on a need-to-know basis. While we strive to protect your information, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure. We encourage you to use a strong, unique password for your Funding Discovered account.
5. Your Rights
You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information at any time through your account settings. You can export your data in a portable format. You may opt out of non-essential communications while still receiving critical account and security notifications. You can request the deletion of your account and associated data by contacting our support team. If you are located in the European Economic Area, you have additional rights under the GDPR including the right to data portability, the right to restrict processing, and the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
