Information & trust
A clear account of what we collect, why we use it and how we handle it responsibly.
Please read this document carefully. It explains the rules and responsibilities that apply when you use the Angel Investor website and related services.
This Privacy Policy explains how Angel Investor by SISL collects, uses, shares and protects personal information when you visit our website, submit a startup or investor application, attend an event, contact us or use related services.
By using the platform or providing information, you acknowledge the practices described in this policy.
Information you provide may include your name, email address, telephone number, city, professional profile, company details, startup stage, sector, funding requirements, investor preferences, pitch materials, financial information and messages sent to our team.
We may also collect technical and usage information such as IP address, browser and device type, pages viewed, referral source, approximate location, form activity, cookie identifiers and security logs.
We use information to review applications, communicate with you, facilitate relevant introductions, operate events, provide requested tools and content, improve the platform, maintain security, prevent misuse, analyse performance and meet legal obligations.
We may also send relevant platform updates or opportunities where you have asked to receive them or where permitted by law. You may opt out of marketing messages at any time.
Depending on the context and applicable law, we process information with your consent, to take steps at your request, to perform an agreement, to meet legal obligations or for legitimate interests such as operating and securing the platform.
Information may be shared with authorised SISL and Al-Kawthar University teams, service providers supporting hosting, forms, analytics and communication, professional advisers, or authorities where required by law.
Startup or investor information may be shared with a potential counterpart only where reasonably connected to the service you requested. We do not sell personal information.
Pitch decks and business information may be reviewed by our authorised team and, where appropriate, selected investors, mentors or evaluators. Please mark sensitive material clearly and avoid sending trade secrets before suitable confidentiality arrangements are in place.
Submitting material does not automatically create a confidentiality obligation beyond applicable law or a separate written agreement.
We may use necessary cookies to operate the site and optional analytics technologies to understand usage and improve performance. Browser settings may allow you to block or delete cookies, although parts of the website may not work as intended.
We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably needed for the purpose collected, including application review, relationship management, record keeping, security and legal requirements. Retention periods vary according to the type and sensitivity of information.
We use reasonable administrative, technical and organisational measures to protect information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or alteration. No online service or transmission method is completely secure, so absolute security cannot be guaranteed.
Some technology providers may process information outside Pakistan. Where this occurs, we take reasonable steps to use providers and safeguards appropriate to the information and applicable requirements.
Subject to applicable law, you may ask to access, correct or delete personal information, withdraw consent, object to certain processing or stop marketing communications. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request.
Some information may be retained where required for legal, security, fraud-prevention or record-keeping purposes.
The platform is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through startup or investor applications. Please contact us if you believe a child has provided information without appropriate authority.
Our website may contain links to third-party websites and platforms. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, and we encourage you to review them before providing information.
We may update this policy when our services, technology or legal obligations change. The revised version will appear here with a new Last updated date.
Privacy questions or requests may be sent to info@angelinvestor.pk or to Angel Investor by SISL, Al-Kawthar University, Gulshan-e-Iqbal, Karachi, Pakistan.
