How Astraeus Ventures collects, uses, and protects information. Written in plain English. Reviewed annually by counsel.
This policy describes how Astraeus Ventures, LP and its affiliates ("Astraeus," "we") handle personal information collected through astraeus.vc, our application portals, and our communications with founders, limited partners, prospective hires, and members of the press.
It does not cover the practices of portfolio companies, third-party services we link to, or service providers acting as independent controllers.
We collect only the information we need to do business with you. Concretely:
We use what we collect to evaluate investment opportunities, manage LP relationships, comply with regulatory obligations, and operate the firm. We do not sell personal information. We do not use it to train external AI systems. We do not enrich your data with third-party brokers.
We share personal information narrowly and only in the following circumstances:
We retain application materials for twenty-four months after our last contact with you, unless you ask us to delete sooner. LP investment records are retained for the life of the relationship plus seven years for regulatory compliance.
Depending on jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, port, or delete personal information we hold about you, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise a right, write to privacy@astraeus.vc. We respond within thirty days.
We follow industry-standard security practices: encryption at rest and in transit, role-based access, audited cloud infrastructure, vendor risk reviews. No system is perfectly secure, but we maintain a documented incident-response plan and we will notify you promptly if a breach affects your data.
Astraeus is headquartered in the United States. If you are submitting from outside the US, your data will be transferred to and processed in the US under appropriate safeguards (Standard Contractual Clauses where applicable).
We revise this policy when our practices or the law changes. The "last revised" date at the top of the page reflects the most recent material update. Substantive changes will be communicated to active relationships by email.
