Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Verdant Capstone collects, uses, and safeguards information when you visit our website or request an invitation to our platform. It is a general template and should be reviewed and adapted to reflect your specific data practices and applicable law before publication.

1. Who we are

Verdant Capstone ("we", "us", "our") provides an AI-driven data analysis and decision-optimisation platform designed to help individuals review investment-related information. This policy applies to the website and any related services offered under the Verdant Capstone name. References to "you" mean any visitor, prospective user, or registered user of our services.

2. Information we collect

We may collect information you provide directly to us, such as your name, email address, and any details submitted through request-an-invitation or contact forms. We may also collect limited technical information automatically, including browser type, device information, IP address, pages visited, and general usage patterns, typically gathered through cookies or similar technologies described below.

We do not knowingly collect sensitive categories of personal data, such as financial account numbers or government identification, through our public-facing website forms.

3. How we use information

Information we collect is used to: respond to invitation requests and enquiries; operate, maintain, and improve our website and services; communicate updates relevant to your request; monitor and analyse usage trends to improve functionality; and meet legal, security, or administrative obligations. We do not use the information you provide to generate automated individual investment decisions without appropriate human review processes described in our service terms.

4. Legal basis for processing

Where applicable law requires a legal basis for processing personal data, we rely on one or more of the following: your consent (for example, when you submit a request or opt into communications), the necessity of processing to take steps prior to entering into an agreement with you, our legitimate interests in operating and improving our services, and compliance with legal obligations.

5. Cookies and similar technologies

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences, understand how visitors interact with our pages, and support basic site functionality. You can usually adjust your browser settings to refuse or limit cookies; doing so may affect certain features of the site. This policy does not list every individual cookie in use; a detailed cookie notice can be provided separately if required.

6. Sharing of information

We do not sell personal information. We may share information with service providers who help us operate our website and communications (for example, hosting or email delivery providers), acting under instructions consistent with this policy. We may also disclose information where required by law, to protect our legal rights, or in connection with a corporate transaction such as a merger or reorganisation, subject to appropriate safeguards.

7. Data retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, including to respond to your enquiry, maintain business records, and comply with legal, accounting, or reporting obligations. Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the information and the purpose for which it was collected.

8. Data security

We apply reasonable administrative, technical, and organisational measures intended to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, or alteration. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of information submitted to us.

9. International transfers

Depending on how our service providers are set up, information may be processed or stored in locations outside your country of residence. Where such transfers occur, we aim to ensure appropriate safeguards are applied consistent with applicable data protection requirements.

10. Your rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of your personal information, to object to certain processing, or to request a copy of information in a portable format. Where consent is the basis for processing, you may withdraw it at any time. To exercise any available rights, please use the contact details provided on our website.

11. Children's privacy

Our website and services are not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so that we can take appropriate action.

12. Third-party links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites or resources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those third parties, and we encourage you to review their respective privacy policies before providing any personal information.

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, services, or legal requirements. Any updated version will be posted on this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we handle information.
