Minimal data, clear purpose.

Website analytics

We use PostHog to count page visits and see which pages are useful. Session recording and autocapture are off, so we do not record what you type or which elements you click beyond a small number of navigation events we define explicitly. We do not send form inputs or email content to analytics, and we respect browser “Do Not Track” settings.

Email enquiries

The site uses direct email links rather than a web form, so nothing you write reaches us until you choose to send it. Information you send is handled through the relevant email service and used only to answer your enquiry.

Accounts and access

The subscriber app uses your email address to identify your account and maintain your session. You can sign in with Google, a password, or a one-time email link. For Google sign-in, we receive the verified email address and Google account identifier needed to connect the sign-in to your account; we do not retain Google's access or identity tokens. Passwords are stored only as salted, one-way scrypt hashes. Session tokens and personal MCP API keys are also stored only as one-way hashes, so their original values cannot be shown again. Authentication emails are delivered by Resend. We record limited sign-in attempt information, including email address, time and IP address, to rate-limit abuse.

We store which firm and portfolio-relationship records an account has viewed in the current allowance period, together with monthly MCP request totals, to enforce the selected plan and prevent automated database reconstruction. Repeat views in the same period do not create another record exposure.

Payments

Subscription checkout and billing are handled by Stripe. Card details are entered on Stripe's hosted pages and are not stored by SeekPrivateEquity. We retain the Stripe customer and subscription references, status and billing-period dates needed to decide whether an account has access.

Where the directory data comes from

The directory describes firms, not private individuals. Every record is built from what the firm publishes about itself or from a public source: its own website, regulatory register entries, company registry filings, and public transaction announcements. A named partner appears only where the firm identifies that person publicly in a professional capacity. We do not hold personal mobile numbers or private email addresses, and we do not buy contact data from list brokers.

A portfolio relationship records a historical public association and does not by itself establish current ownership. If you represent a firm or company in the directory and want its record corrected or removed, email contact@seekprivateequity.com and we will review it. A correction or removal takes effect in the live product after it is processed. Information a subscriber previously placed in another tool through MCP may be outside our control.
