CapitalDart, LLC ("CapitalDart," "we," "us," or "our") respects the privacy of users of the website at CapitalDart.com and the services we provide (collectively, the "Service"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect information when you visit our website, create an account, or use the Service.

By accessing or using the Service, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not access or use the Service.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information in three general categories.

Information You Provide to Us Directly

When you create an account, purchase credits, request information, contact us, or otherwise use the Service, you provide information including your name, business email address, company name, role or title, billing address, and payment information. When you use the Service to process a transaction, you upload materials including pitch decks, offering documents, financial information, and other information about your capital raise. You may also provide additional context about your transaction, target investors, and outreach preferences.

Information Collected Automatically

When you use the Service, we collect technical information including IP address, device and browser identifiers, operating system, referring pages, pages visited, features used, dates and times of access, and other usage metrics. We collect this information through standard server logging, cookies, and similar technologies.

Information From Third Parties

We may receive information about you from third-party service providers we use to operate the Service, including authentication providers, payment processors, and security and fraud-prevention vendors.

2. How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to operate, maintain, and improve the Service; to process transactions and manage your account; to match your transaction against our investor database and generate outreach materials, contact suggestions, and analytical reports; to communicate with you about your account, transactions, product updates, and customer support; to monitor and analyze usage and trends; to detect, prevent, and respond to fraud, security incidents, and violations of our Terms of Service or applicable law; and to comply with legal and regulatory obligations.

We do not use materials you upload to the Service, including pitch decks and offering documents, to train artificial intelligence or machine learning models for any purpose other than processing your specific transaction within the Service. We do not share such materials with other users or customers of the Service.

3. How We Share Information

We share information only as described below.

Service Providers

We share information with third-party vendors and service providers who perform functions on our behalf. These include cloud infrastructure and database providers, artificial intelligence and large language model providers used to process your transaction within the Service, payment processors, email and communication providers, analytics providers, and security and fraud-prevention services. These providers are contractually obligated to maintain confidentiality and use information only for the purposes for which they are engaged.

Legal Compliance and Protection

We may disclose information when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to comply with applicable law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request; to enforce our Terms of Service or other agreements; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of CapitalDart, our users, or others.

Business Transfers

If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, sale of assets, or similar transaction, information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to standard confidentiality protections.

With Your Consent

We may share information for purposes not described in this Privacy Policy with your consent.

We do not sell your personal information. We do not share your uploaded materials, contact lists, or transaction information with third parties for their own marketing or advertising purposes.

4. Confidentiality of Uploaded Materials

Materials you upload to the Service, including pitch decks, offering documents, financial information, and transaction details, are treated as confidential. We restrict access to such materials to personnel and service providers who require access to operate the Service or provide support. We use industry-standard physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect uploaded materials.

We do not share uploaded materials with other customers, sell them to third parties, or use them to train artificial intelligence models for any purpose other than processing your specific transaction within the Service.

5. Data Retention

We retain information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. We may retain information for longer periods to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, or for legitimate business purposes such as fraud prevention and audit. When information is no longer needed, we delete or anonymize it in accordance with our retention practices.

You may request deletion of your account and associated information at any time by contacting us. Some information may persist in backup systems or aggregated reports after deletion.

6. Data Security

We use commercially reasonable physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These include encryption in transit and at rest, access controls, network security measures, and employee training. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

If we become aware of a security incident affecting your information, we will notify you and the appropriate authorities as required by applicable law.

7. Your Rights and Choices

You have the right to access, correct, update, or delete information about you that we maintain. You may exercise these rights through your account settings or by contacting us at the address below.

8. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate, secure, and improve the Service. These include strictly necessary cookies (required for the Service to function, such as authentication and session management), functional cookies (to remember your preferences), and analytics cookies (to understand how the Service is used).

You may control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may limit some Service functionality. Because no industry standard has been established, we do not respond to "Do Not Track" browser signals.

We are based in the United States and process information in the United States. If you access the Service from outside the United States, your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States, which may have different data protection laws than your jurisdiction. By using the Service, you consent to such transfers.

For users in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, we rely on appropriate safeguards for international data transfers, including Standard Contractual Clauses where required.

11. Third-Party Links and Services
