Privacy Policy
Effective date: July 2026. This policy explains how Thiran Incubation Foundation collects, uses, and protects your personal information.
1. Information we collect
We collect information you provide directly — such as your name, email address, phone number, and details about your startup when you contact us, register for an event, or apply to a program. We also collect standard analytics data (pages visited, device type) to improve the website.
2. How we use your information
Your information is used to process applications, communicate about programs and events, match startups with mentors, and improve our services. Application materials — including pitch decks and business plans — are shared only with authorized reviewers, mentors, and staff involved in the selection process.
3. Confidentiality of application materials
We understand that your idea is your most valuable asset. Application content is treated as confidential, is never shared with third parties without your consent, and reviewers are bound by confidentiality and conflict-of-interest obligations.
4. Data sharing
We do not sell your personal data. We may share limited information with program partners (for example, a co-hosted event) with your consent, or where required by law. Public startup profiles on our website are published only with the startup’s approval.
5. Data retention
Application data is retained for the duration of the selection cycle plus two years, after which it is deleted or anonymized unless you join a program. You may request deletion of your data at any time by contacting us.
6. Your rights
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data by writing to us at the contact email on this website. We will respond within 30 days.
7. Updates to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be announced on this page with a revised effective date.
Whether you're developing a new technology, solving a social challenge, or building the next generation of businesses, Thiran Incubation Foundation is ready to support your journey.
