Privacy policy
Last updated 14 November 2026
This policy explains what personal information Hive Ventures Limited, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands ("Hive Ventures", "we"), collects through www.hiveventures.io, our investor portal, and our data rooms at docs.hiveventures.io, and how we use it. We collect only what we need to run these services, and we do not sell personal information.
Hive Ventures Limited is responsible for this information. We handle it in line with the Personal Data Protection Act of Taiwan, the Personal Data Protection Act 2012 of Singapore, and the Data Protection Act 2021 of the British Virgin Islands.
What we collect
- What you send us. When you subscribe to our newsletter, contact us, submit a business plan or sign up for an event, we keep what you enter in the form, such as your name, email address, company and any file you attach.
- Sign-in details. If you sign in to the investor portal or a data room, we keep your email address and, if you use Google or Microsoft to sign in, the name and email address that service shares with us. We do not receive your password for those services.
- Data room activity. When you view documents in a data room, we record which documents and pages you open, when, and for how long. Downloaded and viewed documents may carry a watermark with your email address.
- Technical information. Our servers keep short-lived logs and request counts (for example, to limit repeated sign-in attempts and spam). These are kept for a limited time and are used only to keep the services secure and working.
Cookies
We use only the cookies needed for the sites to work: one that keeps you signed in (for up to 30 days) and one that remembers that you have signed in before. We do not use advertising or third-party analytics cookies.
How we use it
- To answer your enquiries and review business plans you send us.
- To send you the emails you asked for, such as sign-in codes, confirmations and our newsletter. You can ask us to stop sending the newsletter at any time.
- To give investors and prospective investors access to the documents meant for them, and to know who has viewed them.
- To keep our services secure and to prevent abuse.
Who processes it for us
Our sites run on Google Cloud and Firebase, and our email runs on Google Workspace. Business plans submitted through our contact form are also recorded in our deal-flow records system. These providers process information on our behalf and under their own security commitments. We do not share your personal information with anyone else, except where the law requires it.
Where it is held
Our systems run in Google Cloud data centres in Asia. Some service providers we use for email and records may store information in other countries, including the United States. When information goes outside Taiwan or Singapore, we use providers that protect it to a standard comparable to the laws named above.
How long we keep it
We keep your information while our relationship with you is active, or for as long as we need it for the purpose you gave it to us. Data room activity is kept while the relationship is active and deleted if you ask us to.
Your rights
You can ask us to:
- tell you what personal information we hold about you, and let you see or have a copy of it;
- correct or complete it;
- stop collecting, using or processing it; or
- delete it.
You can also withdraw a consent you gave us. Write to our Data Protection Officer at the address below. We will answer within the time the law allows.
You don't have to give us personal information. If you don't, we may not be able to answer your enquiry, review your business plan, or let you sign in to the investor portal or a data room.
Changes
If we change this policy, we will update it on this page and change the date at the top.
