Privacy Policy

1. Scope & Data Controller

This Privacy Policy outlines how Revmrr (“Revmrr,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, processes, stores, and protects personal information when you visit our website, submit or claim a business listing, use our acquisition marketplace, post to the feed, or connect external accounts (the “Services”).

For the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and relevant global data protection laws, Revmrr acts as the data controller for the personal information processed through our platform.

2. Information We Collect

We collect personal information across the following categories:

• Account & Authentication Data: Your email address and authentication session tokens when you sign in using magic login codes or single sign-on authentication.
• Founder & Profile Information: Founder names, job titles, bios, profile images, and social profile links (such as X/Twitter, LinkedIn, or GitHub) associated with your claimed startup.
• Startup & Listing Details: Company names, websites, product descriptions, founding dates, categories, tech stack metadata, funding history, and self-reported business metrics (such as MRR, ARR, growth rate, and customer volume).
• Marketplace & Offer Data: For startups listed for sale or acquisition inquiries, asking prices, transaction structures, multiple expectations, and direct message communications between buyers and sellers.
• Community & Feed Interactions: Posts, discussions, comments, startup saves/bookmarks, and likes submitted on the Revmrr community feed.
• Technical & Log Information: IP addresses (anonymized or hashed where appropriate for abuse detection), browser user agent strings, HTTP request headers, and device types to ensure server security and rate limiting.

3. Payment Provider Connections & Revenue Verification

4. Legal Bases for Processing (GDPR)

Under the GDPR and equivalent data protection regulations, we process your personal data under the following lawful bases:

• Contractual Necessity: To fulfill our service agreement with you, manage your account, authenticate your sessions, and display your claimed startup profiles.
• Legitimate Interests: To protect platform integrity, prevent fraudulent metrics, maintain verification badge reliability, and guard against malicious bots and denial-of-service attacks.
• Legal Obligations: To comply with mandatory statutory, accounting, or regulatory requirements.
• Consent: Where you have voluntarily opted in to receive marketing communications or promotional newsletters. You may revoke consent at any time.

5. How We Use Your Information

We use the data collected strictly for legitimate business and platform purposes:

• Operating, maintaining, and improving the startup directory and intelligence algorithms.
• Validating founder identity, company domain authenticity, and revenue verification requests.
• Facilitating direct communication between prospective startup acquirers and verified sellers.
• Delivering authentication emails, transaction receipts, and customer support responses.
• Enforcing our Terms of Service and preventing bot scraping, manipulation, or abuse.

6. What We Do NOT Do

7. Third-Party Service Providers & Subprocessors

We share data only with vetted infrastructure partners and technical subprocessors strictly necessary to operate Revmrr:

• Hosting & Edge Network: Cloudflare and serverless edge infrastructure for globally distributed content delivery, DDoS protection, and SSL encryption.
• Database Storage: Managed cloud PostgreSQL (Neon) with enterprise-grade encryption at rest and in transit.
• Payment Gateways: Dodo Payments, our merchant of record, for processing listing fees, add-ons, subscriptions and advertising sponsor slots. Card details are entered on Dodo Payments’ hosted checkout; we never see or store credit card numbers.
• Email Delivery: Transactional email providers for delivering one-time login codes and critical account notifications.

8. Cookies & Local Storage

Revmrr uses a minimal set of first-party cookies to keep you signed in securely and protect against CSRF attacks, plus, only if you accept them in the cookie banner, analytics cookies (Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity) to understand how the site is used.

For a full breakdown of the cookies and local storage we use, their durations, and how to opt out, please consult our dedicated Cookie Policy.

9. Data Retention & Deletion

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to provide the Services, maintain accurate historical directory archives, resolve disputes, and comply with statutory obligations:

• Active Accounts: Maintained until you request deletion of your account.
• Authentication Codes: Transient login codes expire and are purged within minutes.
• Transactional Records: Financial invoices and sponsor purchase receipts are retained as required by tax and corporate reporting laws (typically 7 years).

10. Data Security & Architecture

We implement industry-standard administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, loss, or alteration. All web communications utilize TLS 1.3 encryption in transit, databases are encrypted at rest with AES-256, and administrative access is governed by strict principle-of-least-privilege access controls.

11. Your Privacy Rights (GDPR & CCPA/CPRA)

Depending on your location, you may have specific statutory rights concerning your personal information:

• Right of Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.

• Right to Restrict or Object: Restrict or object to certain processing activities based on legitimate interests.
• Right to Data Portability: Obtain your personal data in a structured, machine-readable format.

12. Children’s Privacy

Revmrr is intended strictly for professional founders, builders, and business acquirers. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal data from anyone under the age of 18. If we become aware that we have collected information from a child under 18, we will promptly delete such records.

Revmrr operates globally and utilizes distributed cloud infrastructure located in the United States and other regions. If you access the Services from outside the United States, your information will be transferred and processed in jurisdictions that may have different data protection laws. We ensure appropriate transfer safeguards, including Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), to protect your personal information.
