This information is collected to allow you to personalize your account and further allow GrantFundPro to contact you for transactional or account-related information. Parts of this information, including but not limited to your first name, last name, email address, and company name, may be used to contact you for marketing, promotional, and upselling purposes such as newsletters, marketing communications, and other similar outreach efforts. No part of your personal information may be sold to third parties.
If you sign up for any of our services, you will be required to provide your payment information which includes your credit card number, expiry date, CVV code, phone number, and billing address.

Thus, we may ask for additional information, subject to your discretion, involving your business information (annual revenue, number of employees, years in operation, etc.), founder’s information (age, ethnic origin, and experience), industry/sector, location, and other similar information. Collected information under this section is used to match users with compatible funding programs.

Should you wish to opt out of the latter, a separate section is provided below.
Should you sign up to receive electronic marketing communications from us, we may collect your email address and phone number for such purposes. You are able to opt out from this any time by clicking the unsubscribe link included at the bottom of each email or going to your account settings. Please note, however, that unsubscribing to our marketing communications will not prevent us from sending transactional and account-related communications.
When you email us for any feedback, assistance, or complaint via email or through the “Feedback” option on the GrantFundPro platform, you may be asked for identifying information such as your name, company name, and other relevant information to help us address your concern. This information will be retained to enable us to have a history of past correspondence to improve our support should you reach out in the future.
We retain any information you volunteer. This information may be stored and used for purposes like improving our services, maintaining our records, and tailoring future communications and offers.
Any and all information you disclose to us is kept only for the time necessary to achieve the purpose in which it was collected and processed.

We reserve the right to retain and use the data collected as necessary to comply with any legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
Should you delete your account, the information you previously disclosed will be retained for a period of one (1) year from the date of deletion. During this retention period, access to your data will be restricted and utilized solely for purposes related to compliance with legal obligations, resolution of disputes, and enforcement of our contractual agreements. Upon the expiration of such a period, all retained information will be permanently and irrevocably deleted from our systems and can no longer be recovered.
