Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

The controller of your personal data is Lion Beat Capital, s.r.o., Company ID 22402373, registered office Generála Píky 430/26, 160 00 Prague 6 – Dejvice, Czech Republic, registered in the Commercial Register maintained by the Municipal Court in Prague, file No. C 416213 ("Lion Beat Capital", "we"). For any privacy matter, write to info@lionbeatcapital.com. We have not appointed a Data Protection Officer, as we are not required to.

2. What data we process

• Contact data: name, email address, phone number, company, role, LinkedIn profile.
• Verification data: the email address you verify, the one-time code, time of verification and IP address.
• Submission data: your pitch deck and other materials about the startup or business you present, including information about you and other people in them (for example names, roles, bios and photos of founders, owners, managers and team members).
• Public data: information from public sources about you, your company and the business you present, such as company registers, professional profiles and media, which we or our AI tool look up to evaluate the opportunity.
• Communication data: emails, meeting notes and other correspondence with us.
• Technical data: IP address, browser and device information, server logs.

Providing contact and submission data is necessary for us to evaluate your submission. Without it, we cannot consider it.

We do not ask for special categories of data (such as health data). Please do not include them in your submission.

3. Why we process your data

Where we rely on legitimate interest, we have assessed that it is not overridden by your interests or rights. We do not rely on your consent for any of these purposes. You do not need to give consent to submit, and nothing is processed for marketing.

4. AI-assisted analysis of submissions

We analyse submitted pitch decks and other materials, for both venture capital and private equity opportunities, with our internal AI tool, which runs on enterprise-licensed AI models. The tool summarises the materials, extracts key information (market, team, traction, financials and, for businesses offered for sale, ownership and deal terms) and compares it with our investment criteria.

People decide. The output is only an input for our team, which verifies it. We do not make decisions based solely on automated processing, including profiling, that have legal or similarly significant effects on you (Art. 22 GDPR).

Profiling. Assessing the experience and track record of the team, owners or management may involve profiling within the meaning of Art. 4(4) GDPR. You can object to it under Art. 21 GDPR.

No training on your data. AI model providers act as our processors under data processing agreements. Under their enterprise terms, they may not use your data to train their models.

Restricted access. Only authorised members of our team can access submissions and their analysis.

You may contact us at any time to express your view on your submission or to ask that a person review it again.

5. Who receives your data

• Our processors: providers of hosting, email, verification, cloud storage, IT services and enterprise AI models. They process data only on our instructions.
• Our advisers: lawyers, tax advisers and auditors bound by confidentiality.
• Co-investors and financing partners: only with your prior agreement.
• Public authorities: only where the law requires it.

We do not sell your personal data or use it for advertising.

6. Transfers outside the EEA

Some of our providers, including AI model providers, may process data outside the European Economic Area, in particular in the United States. We transfer data only where the European Commission has issued an adequacy decision (including the EU–US Data Privacy Framework for certified providers) or under Standard Contractual Clauses with supplementary measures. You can ask us for a copy of the relevant safeguards.

7. Information about other people and public sources

If your materials contain personal data of other people, such as co-founders, owners, managers or team members, please make sure they are aware of this Privacy Policy. We process their data, and data we obtain from public sources, on the basis of our legitimate interest in evaluating the opportunity, Art. 6(1)(f). This policy serves as their information under Art. 14 GDPR.

8. Your rights

You have the right to:

• access your personal data and receive a copy;
• have inaccurate data corrected;
• have your data erased, including withdrawing your submission at any time;
• restrict processing;
• receive data you provided in a portable format, where processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b);
• object to processing based on our legitimate interest, including profiling, Art. 21 GDPR;
• lodge a complaint with the Czech Office for Personal Data Protection (Úřad pro ochranu osobních údajů), Pplk. Sochora 27, 170 00 Prague 7, uoou.gov.cz.

9. Cookies

Our website uses only cookies that are strictly necessary for its operation and security. If we introduce analytics or marketing cookies, we will ask for your consent first.

10. Security

We protect data with encryption in transit, email verification of every submission, access controls and restricted access to submissions.

11. Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy. The current version and its effective date are always published on this website.
