Remove my details

If you are listed in our investor directory and would rather not be, write to us and we will delete your entry. We do not ask for a reason and we do not ask you to prove anything beyond control of the address concerned.

What happens next

We delete the entry in full, usually within a couple of working days and at the latest within one month. We then record a one-way cryptographic hash of your address on a suppression list. Our directory is rebuilt from its sources periodically, and without that entry the next rebuild would simply add you again. The hash cannot be turned back into your address and cannot be used to contact you: it exists solely to keep you out.

If you would rather we did not keep even that, say so and we will remove it, but we will then be unable to stop your details returning in a later rebuild.

If you were sent a link

We write to the people in the directory to tell them we hold their details. Those messages carry a personal link to a page with a single button that deletes the entry immediately. If you have that message, the button is faster than emailing us.

What we hold, and where it came from

Business contact details in a professional capacity: your name, your role, the firm you are associated with, and one or more of a work email address, a work phone number and a public professional profile. It comes from publicly accessible sources such as fund and company websites, together with a licensed commercial provider of business contact data. Ask and we will tell you the specific source for your own entry.

Your other rights

Access, rectification, restriction, portability and objection all go to the same address. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint. Our full privacy policy sets out the detail.
