Privacy policy

Last updated 2026-11-10. This policy explains what Zalarma collects on this website and in our matching service, how we use it, and how investor data in our database is sourced and can be corrected or removed. Questions: contact us or email hello@zalarma.com.

The short version

• We collect what you type into our forms, plus basic technical logs from our hosting provider.
• We use it to answer you and build your investor shortlist. We never share your information with investors without your OK.
• We don't sell personal information.
• Our investor database is built from public, professional sources. Anyone listed can ask us to correct or remove their record.

1. Information we collect from you

• Forms. When you request a match list, contact us or send a data request, we collect what you enter: name, email, company, city, stage, sector, raise amount and your message.
• Technical data. Our hosting provider records standard server logs (IP address, browser type, pages requested, time) to keep the site secure and working. We don't use these logs to identify you.
• Your settings. If you choose light or dark mode, your choice is stored in your own browser (local storage). It is not sent to us.

2. Cookies and analytics

This website does not set advertising cookies. We may add a web analytics service (such as Google Analytics) to understand which pages are useful. If we do, it will set analytics cookies that measure visits in aggregate, we will update this section to name the service, and you can opt out with your browser settings or the provider's opt-out tools (for Google Analytics, the browser add-on).

3. How we use your information

• To build and send your investor shortlist and follow up about your raise.
• To reply to messages and data requests.
• To send occasional updates if you asked for them; every email has an unsubscribe link.
• To keep the site secure and improve it.

4. Who we share it with

Investors: never without your explicit OK for a specific introduction. Service providers: we use providers to host the site, store form submissions and send email, under contracts that limit their use of your data to providing the service. Legal: if required by law or to protect rights and safety. We do not sell or rent personal information.

5. How long we keep it

We keep form submissions for as long as needed to provide the service and follow up, and delete them on request. Server logs are kept for a limited period by our hosting provider.

6. Your choices and rights

You can ask to access, correct or delete the personal information you gave us, or to stop receiving emails. Depending on where you live (for example California or the EU/UK) you may have additional rights under laws such as the CCPA or GDPR, including the right to know what we hold and to object to certain processing. Contact us and we will respond within 30 days.

7. Investor data in our database

Zalarma's database describes investors and investment firms in their professional capacity. It is compiled from public sources such as firm websites, regulatory filings (for example the SEC's Form ADV), published investor lists and directories, and public professional profiles. Records describe investment focus: firm, title, stages, sectors, check sizes, fund information and published portfolio companies, and each record cites its source.

On this public website we publish only aggregate statistics and firm names. We do not publish personal contact details or home addresses of individuals on this site. Account holders in the app see professional information drawn from public sources, under terms that prohibit spam and misuse.

If you are listed and want a record corrected, updated or removed, use our data request form. We aim to act within 30 days and will confirm when it's done.

8. Security

We use reputable cloud infrastructure, encrypted connections (HTTPS) and access controls. No system is perfectly secure, so we limit what we collect to what we need.

9. Children

Zalarma is for founders and professionals. It is not directed at children under 16, and we don't knowingly collect their information.

10. Changes

We will post any changes here and update the date at the top. Significant changes will be highlighted on this page.
