Privacy Policy

Standard ("Standard," "we," "us," or "our") operates the website at standardfund.co (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use and protect it, and the choices you have. By using the Site or submitting information through it, you agree to the practices described here.

1. Information we collect

Information you provide. When you contact us or submit an inquiry through our forms, we may collect your name, email address, telephone number, company or network name, details about your business (such as subscriber counts and network type), the contents of your message, and any documents you choose to submit.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we may collect limited technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, and referring URLs through cookies and similar technologies. The Site is designed to be lightweight and may operate with minimal tracking.

2. How we use information

• To respond to your inquiry and communicate with you about a potential sale, investment, or partnership;
• To evaluate acquisition, investment, and strategic opportunities;
• To operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Site;
• To comply with legal, regulatory, and compliance obligations; and
• To detect, prevent, and address fraud, security, or technical issues.

3. Legal bases for processing

Where applicable law requires a legal basis (for example, under the GDPR), we process personal information on the basis of your consent, our legitimate interests in evaluating and pursuing business opportunities, the performance of steps taken at your request prior to a transaction, and compliance with legal obligations.

4. How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share it with: service providers who support our operations (such as hosting, email, and CRM providers) under appropriate confidentiality obligations; our professional advisors (legal, financial, and accounting); affiliates and co-investors involved in evaluating a transaction, subject to confidentiality; and authorities or other parties where required by law or to protect our rights.

5. Document and financial submissions

If you submit financial statements, network data, or other materials, we treat them as confidential and use them solely to evaluate the opportunity you have raised with us. A non-disclosure agreement is available on request.

6. Data retention

We retain personal information for as long as needed to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, to maintain business records, and to comply with legal obligations, after which we delete or anonymize it.

7. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Your rights and choices

Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of your personal information, to object to certain processing, to data portability, and to withdraw consent. Residents of certain jurisdictions (such as the EEA/UK under the GDPR and California under the CCPA/CPRA) may have additional rights. To exercise any of these, contact us using the details below.

9. Cookies

We may use essential cookies and, where applicable, analytics cookies to understand how the Site is used. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling some cookies may affect Site functionality.

10. Third-party links

The Site may link to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites and encourage you to review their policies.

11. Children's privacy

The Site is intended for business and professional audiences and is not directed to individuals under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

12. International transfers

We are based in North America. If you access the Site from outside our operating region, your information may be transferred to and processed in jurisdictions whose data-protection laws may differ from your own; we take steps to protect it consistent with applicable law.

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above, and where required, we will provide additional notice.
