If you browse the site
You can use most of VCinfo without an account. We count page views per page, referring site and country, without storing your IP address or your full browser string. Cloudflare, which hosts the service, processes requests to deliver them and to protect the site from abuse.
If you create an account
We store your work email address and a one-way hash of your API key to run your account, on the basis of our contract with you, for as long as the account exists. We count the calls and results made with each key and apply your plan's limits to the account as a whole. When you create an account or start a paid plan, we send ourselves a notice with your email address, plan, IP address, browser and the approximate location our host reports, so we can see that new accounts are real and stop abuse. We do not share this notice. Verification links and service emails are sent through Resend.
Stripe processes payments for paid plans. We do not see or store your card details; we keep the Stripe customer and subscription IDs needed to manage your plan, and invoices as tax law requires.
To see which channels bring people to VCinfo, we record that an account signed up, started or ended a paid plan, and, if you answer it, how you heard about us. These records carry a one-way id, never your email address, name or IP address, and stay in our own reporting tool.
If you follow investors, we store which ones and send you an email digest of their changes. Every digest has an unsubscribe link.
Fit Checker, pitch kits and Ask AI
The answers you give the Fit Checker (stage, sector, country, round size, and optionally revenue and website) are stored with the result under a random link, so the result can be opened and shared. If you are signed in, the result is linked to your account. Your browser also keeps your last answers in local storage, so you do not have to type them again; Forget them on the Fit Checker removes them.
Pitch kits and Ask AI questions are processed by an AI model running on Cloudflare Workers AI. Do not enter personal or confidential information in them. We do not use what you enter to train models.
Cookies and local storage
We set only the cookies the service needs. We do not use analytics, advertising or tracking cookies.
| Name | Purpose | Lasts |
|---|---|---|
vcinfo_session | Keeps you signed in | 30 days, removed when you log out |
vcinfo_in | Tells the page to show your account links | 30 days, removed when you log out |

Your browser also keeps your theme, your preferred code language and your Fit Checker answers in local storage, which is not sent to us unless you run a check.
The data we publish
We publish information about investment firms and companies: portfolios, funding rounds that name a firm, fund registrations and similar facts, each with its public source. We do not collect data about the people at firms or in filings, and we do not publish personal email addresses or phone numbers found on investors' sites. A firm or company can ask us to correct its profile at hello@vcinfo.io.
Who processes data for us
Cloudflare (hosting, database and AI models), Stripe (payments) and Resend (email). Some of them may process data outside the European Economic Area, under the European Commission's standard contractual clauses or an adequacy decision.
Retention
Account data is kept while your account exists and deleted within 30 days of a request to close it, except invoices, which we keep for as long as tax law requires. Fit Checker results without an account are kept so that their shared links keep working; ask us and we will delete one.
Your rights
You can ask to access, correct, delete or export your personal data, to restrict or object to its processing, and to withdraw consent where you gave it, by writing to hello@vcinfo.io. You can also complain to your data protection authority; in Spain, the Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (aepd.es).
Changes
We will update this page when what we collect changes, and change the date at the top. If a change matters to account holders, we will tell them by email.
