Your right to privacy

First and foremost, as our user you have the right to be informed about how your data is collected and used. You are entitled to know what data we collect about you and how it is processed and, if we have information about you, to have a copy of that information. You are entitled to correct and update any personal information about you and to request this information to be deleted. You may edit your account information at any time, using the tools provided in your account control panel. When you can not yet perform a desired action to view, edit or delete your information – because the technological feature is not yet there – feel free to contact us and we’ll manually process your request. If you have any questions on your rights relating to our use of personal data, please contact us at: [email protected].

What personal data do we collect?

We collect both identifying information, like your name and email address and non-identifying information (that does not personally identify you on its own) like your IP address, browser type and website behavior, from a variety of sources.

Data we collect directly from you

The personal data we collect is the information you provide when creating an account or a company on the Dealroom platform. This type of personal information may include, but is not limited to: your name, email address, job title, company and telephone number. When you choose to register and login to our platform using the social sign-on functionality, we may use information we collect from this sign-on. This may include, but is not limited to: your interests, job title, company name, marital status, profile picture, photos and comments. Next to that we store user generated content, which is the content you submit to the platform and any other information you provide voluntarily. And lastly, when you create an account on the Dealroom Application website, we may use device IDs, cookies, and other signals, including information obtained from third parties to associate accounts and/or devices with you. We store the information mentioned here until you remove it from your account or until you delete your account.

Date we collect from use of our platform

We use cookies and similar technologies to collect information when you visit our platform or interact with our online advertisements. This type of information may include, but is not limited to: your device type, browser, details of the web pages you have viewed, links you clicked on, your IP address, sites clicked on before coming to our websites and any other information you choose to share on social media websites. The information mentioned here is stored on the legal basis of our legitimate interest if possible or, if necessary, your consent. The retention period of the collected information depends on the type of technique used. For more information on cookies, please read our cookie statement that provides more in-depth information on this topic.

Data we collect from other sources

We may collect information from other sources if you have given those sources consent for that information to be shared for example by public databases and marketing companies. This information may include all publicly available information such as your name, postal address, telephone number, e-mail address, household or company information, consumer and market research data, purchase behaviour and preferences and information about your hobbies and interests.​ The collection of the information mentioned here takes place on the legal basis of our legitimate interest. We store the information mentioned here until new, accurate information is available to replace it. In the meantime, as mentioned above under “Your right to privacy”, you may request us to delete any personal information concerning yourself.

Why do we collect your personal data?

We use a combination of both identifying and non-identifying information to understand who our visitors, users and customers are and how they use our services.

This access is only permitted for as long as necessary to perform a specific function we asked them to perform.

We may also disclose your personal data:

  • To our affiliates or subsidiaries
  • If we are legally entitled or required to do so.
  • When we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others.

Your personal data may be transferred, stored and processed in the Netherlands and in London or any other country in which Dealroom (or its affiliates, subcontractors or agents) maintain facilities. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy statement.

How do we protect your personal data?

The collection, use and disclosure of personal data collected through our platform is safeguarded by appropriate technological and organisational security measures with the purpose of protecting the data against loss, misuse and unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or destruction. These measures are continually improved in line with tech developments. We will not retain your personal data longer than necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected for, unless we have to store it for legitimate business, tax or legal purposes.
