Privacy Policy
What personal data the WattFund platform processes, why it is processed and the rights users have over it.
Draft — pending professional review
This page is a structural draft prepared for the WattFund platform build. It has not been reviewed or approved by a qualified legal professional and must be replaced with reviewed wording before WattFund operates commercially.
Who we are
WattFund Ltd. operates the WattFund marketplace, which connects energy project owners, investors and service providers. This policy describes the categories of personal data the platform is expected to process and the intended basis for doing so.
Data we collect
The platform is designed to collect only what an account needs to function.
- Account data: name, work email, organisation and role.
- Profile data: investment mandate, project details or service capability, depending on account type.
- Early access and event registration data: name, work email, organisation, role, project or capability details, and any optional notes submitted through conference or campaign forms.
- Website enquiry data: name, work email, organisation, phone if provided, reason for contact, message, and page or campaign context submitted through Talk to WattFund / Contact forms.
- Partner referral data: name, work email, organisation, phone, project location and funding details submitted through a partner referral page, together with the partner name and any salesperson code included in the referral link.
- Interaction data: opportunities viewed, interests registered and information requests raised.
- Technical data: device, browser and session information needed to keep the service secure.
How data is used
Data is used to operate accounts, match relevant opportunities to stated mandates, administer information requests between parties and maintain the security of the platform.
Information submitted through early-access or event registration forms is used to respond to enquiries, manage early access, understand participant and project interests, and send product or news communications only where appropriate consent or another lawful basis exists.
Website enquiries and Speak to WattFund requests are stored so WattFund can review them and reply. Transactional confirmation emails may be sent to acknowledge that an enquiry or early-access signup was received. Internal notifications may also be sent to the WattFund team. These transactional messages are not marketing.
If a project is referred to WattFund by a partner such as Swift Charging, the information submitted on that referral page is used to review the project and contact the person who submitted it. Where that person has agreed, relevant project information may also be shared with the referring partner so the enquiry can be progressed. A partner referral is a request for review, not a funding application.
If you choose to book a 10-minute WattFund introduction, the calendar booking is provided by Calendly. WattFund saves the enquiry first. Booking a meeting, sending an enquiry, joining early access, requesting Project Review or Enhance, or creating an account does not by itself mean you have consented to marketing emails.
WattFund does not sell personal data. Project and investor identities are only shared between counterparties when a user chooses to share them.
Retention and your rights
Personal data is intended to be retained for as long as an account is active, and thereafter only where a record is required. Users are expected to have rights of access, correction, deletion, restriction and portability in respect of their data.
Requests relating to personal data can be sent to hello@wattfund.com.
