Deep Checks Privacy Policy

Last updated: Oct 22, 2026

‍

Deep Checks VC LLC ("Deep Checks," "we," "us," or "our") operates deepchecks.vc and the services offered through it (the "Service"). Deep Checks is affiliated with Julian Capital, a venture capital fund. Our mailing address is 30 N Gould St, STE R, Sheridan, WY 82801, USA, and you can reach us at [email protected].

‍

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and who we share it with. It applies to everyone who uses the Service, including:

• Founders who submit pitch decks and company information
• Job seekers who use the Join a Startup job board
• Scouts who refer founders to us
• Investor members who apply to join, log in, and review companies
• Visitors who read the site, attend our events, or receive our emails

This policy doesn't cover what participating investors, startups, or other third parties do with information after we share it with them. They handle it under their own policies. Your use of the Service is also governed by our Terms of Use.

‍

1. Information we collect

‍

Information you give us

• Founders: name, email address, LinkedIn profile, and role; company name, website, sector, stage, location, round details, valuation, and traction; pitch decks, memos, videos, data room links, and anything else you include in a submission.
• Job seekers: name, email address, LinkedIn profile or résumé, location, the sectors and roles you're interested in, and other preferences you share.
• Scouts: name, email address, LinkedIn profile, and the information you give us about founders and companies you refer.
• Investor members: name, email address, firm, title, investment focus, check size, login credentials, and the information in your application.
• Everyone: messages you send us, event registrations, survey responses, and feedback.

Information collected automatically

• Device and log data, such as IP address, browser type, operating system, and device identifiers
• Usage data, such as pages viewed, links clicked, time spent, and referring URLs
• For investor members, which companies and materials you view or download, and other activity in the member area
• Information collected through cookies and similar technologies (see Section 4)

Information from other sources

• Scouts and other people who refer you or your company to us
• Participating investors, who may tell us whether they contacted, met with, or invested in a company
• Public sources, such as LinkedIn, company websites, news coverage, and startup databases
• Service providers that help us run the Service

2. How we use information

‍

We use the information we collect to:

• Review, evaluate, rank, and summarize submissions, including writing one-pagers about companies for investors
• Match founders with investors, and job seekers with startups
• Run the scout program and keep track of referrals
• Operate investor member accounts and the member area
• Communicate with you about the Service, including submission updates, events, guides, and other news (you can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time)
• Promote the Service, including naming companies we've featured and the outcomes they've reported (see Section 3)
• Produce aggregated or de-identified statistics, such as the share of founders who hear from an investor
• Evaluate potential investments by Julian Capital and our other affiliates
• Analyze, improve, and secure the Service, and prevent fraud and abuse
• Comply with the law, enforce our Terms of Use, and protect our rights and the rights of others

We may use software tools, including AI services provided by third parties, to help organize, review, and summarize submissions. Our team decides which submissions we forward to investors.

‍

3. How we share information

‍

With participating investors. When you submit as a founder and consent to sharing, we share your submission, our write-ups about it, and related information with participating investors. These include the funds listed on our site, their partners and staff, and additional investors we are evaluating for the network. Interested investors contact founders directly. Investors are independent of Deep Checks and use what we share under their own policies. We ask them to keep submissions confidential, but we don't control them and aren't responsible for how they use or disclose your information.

‍

With Julian Capital and our affiliates. Entities under common ownership or control with Deep Checks may access information to help run the Service and to evaluate investments.

‍

With startups. If you use the job board, we share your profile with startups we think may be a fit. Startups contact you directly and use your information under their own policies.

‍

With scouts. We may tell a scout whether a company they referred submitted, was reviewed, or was featured.

‍

With service providers. Companies that help us run the Service process information for us. These include Webflow (website hosting), Airtable (forms and databases), Google (analytics and email), membership and login providers, email delivery services, and AI services.

‍

Publicly. We may publicly name companies we've featured or that raised money from investors they met through Deep Checks, and use their names, logos, and reported outcomes in our marketing. Founders can ask us to stop by emailing us. We may also publish aggregated or de-identified data.

‍

For legal reasons. We may disclose information to comply with the law, legal process, or government requests; to enforce our Terms of Use; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Deep Checks, our users, or others.

‍

In a business transfer. We may transfer information as part of a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, or bankruptcy.

‍

With your consent or at your direction.

‍

We don't sell personal information for money.

‍

4. Cookies, analytics, and Do Not Track

We and our service providers use cookies, pixels, local storage, and similar technologies to keep you logged in, remember your preferences, and understand how people use the site.

We use Google Analytics. Google and other third parties may collect information about your online activity over time and across different websites when you use our site. You can read how Google uses this data at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites and opt out with the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

‍

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Some parts of the Service, such as the member login, may not work without them.

‍

Do Not Track. Some browsers send "Do Not Track" signals. There is no common standard for how websites should respond to them, and we don't currently respond to them.

‍

5. How long we keep information

We keep information for as long as we need it for the purposes in this policy. That includes reviewing later rounds from the same company, keeping records of what we shared and with whom, enforcing submission rules, resolving disputes, and meeting legal obligations. We may keep submissions and related records after a company's round closes.

When we no longer need information, we delete it or de-identify it. Copies already shared with investors or startups are outside our control.

‍

6. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to protect information. No website, service, or transmission is completely secure, and we can't guarantee the security of any information you send us. You're responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential.

‍

7. Your choices and requests

• Access, correction, and deletion. Email [email protected] to ask for a copy of your information, to correct it, or to delete it. We may need to verify your identity first. We may keep information where the law allows or requires it, such as records we need to enforce our Terms of Use or meet legal obligations.
• Pulling a submission or profile. Founders and job seekers can email us at any time to stop future sharing. We'll remove the submission or profile from materials we send going forward. We can't recall copies investors or startups have already received.
• Marketing emails. Use the unsubscribe link in any marketing email, or email us. We may still send you messages about your submission or account.
• Cookies. See Section 4.

If a U.S. state privacy law gives you additional rights, email us and we'll respond as that law requires. We respond to requests within the time required by applicable law.

‍

8. Users in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland

This section applies if the data protection laws of the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland apply to our processing of your information.

‍

Controller. Deep Checks VC LLC, at the address in Section 12, is the controller of your information. Participating investors and startups that receive your information are separate controllers.

‍

Legal bases. We process your information on these bases:

• Consent: sharing a founder's submission with investors, and sharing a job seeker's profile with startups
• Contract: providing the Service you asked for, such as reviewing your submission or running your member account
• Legitimate interests: operating, improving, securing, and promoting the Service; running the scout program; evaluating investments; keeping records; and preventing abuse. We balance these interests against your rights.
• Legal obligation: complying with the law

Your rights. You can ask to access, correct, delete, or receive a portable copy of your information, and to restrict or object to our processing of it. You can object to direct marketing at any time. Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time; this doesn't affect processing that already happened. Email [email protected] to make a request. You also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority, though we'd appreciate the chance to address your concern first.

‍

International transfers. We're based in the United States and process information there. When you submit information to us directly, you are sending it to the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your country. Where our service providers move information out of the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, they rely on recognized transfer mechanisms such as Standard Contractual Clauses.

‍

Required information. You aren't legally required to give us your information, but we can't review a submission or create an account without it.

‍

9. Children

The Service is not intended for anyone under 18. We don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 18, and we delete it if we learn we have.

‍

10. Third-party sites and services

The Service links to sites and services we don't operate, such as LinkedIn, YouTube, investor and startup websites, and Airtable forms (including our investor application). Their own privacy policies apply to what you share with them.

‍

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We'll post the updated version here with a new "Last updated" date, and for material changes we may also notify you by email or on the site. Your continued use of the Service after an update takes effect means you accept it.
