Privacy Policy

Data Controller: FundReady Bench (trading name)
Contact: privacy.fundreadybench@gmail.com

• Submission data: private startup label, email, optional company website, stage, operating-age band, country, industry, business model, customer type, monthly revenue, active customers or users, monthly revenue growth or its not-applicable status, team composition, founder experience, funding history, current fundraising status, a target raise when actively raising or preparing to raise, selected challenges and server-derived data-quality flags.

• Provide the service (calculate your score and show a summary) — performance of a contract.
• Associate repeated submissions made with the same normalized email and private startup label — legitimate interests.
• Make startup metrics eligible for aggregate benchmark statisticsonly when you select the benchmark consent checkbox — consent.

We use trusted processors to run the service. They process data on our behalf under contract:

• Hosting and database: Vercel (site hosting) and Supabase (Postgres database).

We do not sell personal data. If aggregate benchmark statistics are published in the future, identifying fields such as email, private startup label and website will not be included.

We store identifying fields to provide the readiness service and associate future submissions with the same startup. Benchmark consent separately controls whether the startup metrics are eligible for future aggregate statistics. If you do not consent, the submission is marked as excluded.

Email and the private startup label are stored internally to associate repeated submissions. They are not included in published aggregate benchmarks. Future aggregate benchmarks may exclude or separately analyse submissions carrying a data-quality flag.

Some processors may store data outside the UK/EEA. Where they do, we rely on appropriate safeguards (e.g., UK ICO/European Commission adequacy decisions or Standard Contractual Clauses).

The intended retention period for identifiable submission data is up to 24 months after the most recent associated submission, but an automated retention schedule is not currently implemented. Deletion can be requested using the contact address below.

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Delete your data (“right to erasure”).
• Object to or restrict certain processing.
• Data portability (receive a copy in a usable format).
• Withdraw benchmark consent at any time.

To exercise any right, email privacy.fundreadybench@gmail.com. We’ll respond within 30 days.

We may update this policy from time to time. The latest version will always be available at /privacy.
