Privacy policy

Who we are
Higher Purpose AI Ventures operates higher-purpose.vc.

What we collect
We only collect what you choose to give us through our forms:

• Investors: your name, email, phone number, country, investor status, typical cheque size, preferred way of investing, and anything you tell us in your message.
• Founders: your name, email, company or project name, website, stage, the answers you give about your business, and any deck you upload or link to.

Like most websites, our hosting provider also records basic technical data such as your IP address and browser type, for security purposes.

Why we collect it

• To reply to you personally.
• For investors: to tell you about investment opportunities that may suit you.
• For founders: to assess your business for possible investment.

We will never sell your data or use it for unrelated marketing.

Founders’ decks and information
We treat what founders share with us as confidential. We will not share your deck or business details with anyone outside Higher Purpose AI Ventures without your permission, including with potential co-investors.

Who we share it with

• Service providers who help us run the website and email, only as needed to provide their services.
• If you go on to invest, the investment platform we use, so that it can complete the required checks. This happens only with your knowledge.
• Anyone we are required to share it with by law.

How long we keep it
We keep your information for as long as it is useful for the purpose you gave it for, or as required by law. You can ask us to delete it at any time.

Cookies
Our site uses only the cookies it needs to work and to protect our forms from spam. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.

Your rights
You can ask to see, correct or delete the personal information we hold about you by contacting us at [email address]. If you are not satisfied with our response, you can contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (oaic.gov.au).

Changes
We may update this policy from time to time. The latest version will always be on this page.
