Description of collected personal data and legal basis for collecting personal data
Visiting the Website
When you open the Website, our hosting provider automatically records technical data that your browser sends: IP address, date and time of the request, the page requested, the referring page, browser type and version, operating system and device type. These server logs are needed to deliver the pages, keep the Website secure and diagnose faults. They are not combined with other data about you and are retained only for as long as necessary for these purposes.
Cookies
The Website sets two kinds of cookies, described in the Cookies section below: necessary cookies, which the Website needs to work, to remember your cookie choice and to protect the contact form from spam, and which do not require your consent; and analytics cookies (Google Analytics), which we set only after you have accepted them in the cookie banner.
Contacting us
If you choose to contact us through the contact form or by e-mail, we process only the personal data you voluntarily provide—typically your name, e-mail address, company and the content of your message—strictly to the extent necessary to answer your request. Form submissions are received and stored by our hosting provider Webflow and forwarded to us by e-mail / into a spreadsheet; they are retained only for as long as necessary to handle your request. If you send us personal data of other people (for example a co-founder’s contact details), you must ensure that you are allowed to do so and you remain liable for such data towards third parties.
Investor Portal
The Investor Portal linked from the Website is operated independently by a third party ([Intralinks]) under its own terms and privacy policy. We do not process your login or usage data of that portal through the Website, and we assume no liability or responsibility for its operation, content, or data processing practices. If you submit information to this site, your information is governed by the privacy policies that apply to the site. We encourage you to carefully read the privacy policy of any website or application you visit.
We process personal data on the following legal basis:
- your consent, which you can withdraw at any time via “Cookie settings” in the footer or by sending us an email;
- the performance of a contract or steps before entering into one
- our legitimate interests to operate and secure the Website,
- compliance with legal obligations.
- We do not take decisions about you based solely on automated processing, and we do not sell personal data.
Cookies
A cookie is a small text file that the Website stores on your device. The Website uses the following cookies:
- cc_consent - set by constructor.capital, necessary. Remembers your cookie choice so you are not asked again on every visit.
- _ga - set by Google Analytics, analytics Distinguishes visitors for the usage statistics. Set only after consent.
- _ga_* - set by Google Analytics, analytics. Keeps the Google Analytics session state for this website’s property. Set only after consent.
- _cfuvid - set by Cloudflare, necessary, session (deleted when you close the browser). Protects the contact form from spam (Cloudflare Turnstile) by telling apart visitors who share one network.
Google Analytics 4 is provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. It helps us understand how the Website is used (number of visits, traffic sources, pages viewed). IP addresses are anonymised, and nothing is sent to Google before you accept analytics cookies. Google may transfer data to Google LLC in the United States; such transfers rely on the Swiss–US and EU–US Data Privacy Framework and the standard contractual clauses. Google’s privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy.
Some articles embed videos from YouTube in privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com). YouTube sets no cookies on your device until you start a video; once you do, Google’s privacy policy applies to the data YouTube processes.
You choose which cookies may be set in the banner shown on your first visit. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time via Cookie settings (also in the footer of every page); withdrawing analytics consent deletes the Google Analytics cookies from your browser. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings; the Website keeps working without analytics cookies.
Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the processing purposes for which it was collected (such as responding to your inquiry or ensuring website functionality) or as required to comply with statutory legal and regulatory obligations. Once no longer required, personal data is securely deleted or anonymized.
Data Transfers
Your personal data may be transferred to, and processed in, countries other than the country in which you are based, where our affiliates, subsidiaries, partners or our third-party service providers operate.
Some of these countries might not be considered as adequate by the European Commission and therefore not offer an adequate level of protection and security. As a result, we take measures to ensure that your information is safe and protected in compliance with the applicable data protection laws, including:
- reliance of Standard Contractual Clauses to transfer your data outside the European Economic Area, United Kingdom and Switzerland;
- implementation of organizational, contractual and technical security measures with our third-party service providers;
- establishment of an intra-group data transfer agreement for internal transfers of personal data within our group of companies around the world.
