LEGAL & INFORMATION
Privacy Policy
This policy describes how New Enterprise Partners handles information submitted through this website.
Information you provide
Our forms collect the details you enter, such as your name, email address, company information and message. Please do not include trade secrets or highly sensitive information in an initial submission. Document uploads are currently unavailable.
How information is used
We use submissions to review and respond to inquiries, assess company and growth opportunities, and maintain and protect the website. A request for updates records your email so we can follow up about NEP updates.
Storage and access
Submissions are stored as private records in our WordPress site. Authorized site administrators can review them. An internal notification email sends the submitted form details to NEP and includes a link to the private record.
Spam protection
The forms use a hidden field, submission timing, rate limits and a short self-hosted computing challenge to deter automated abuse. The challenge does not require an account or send form details to another service. If Cloudflare Turnstile is enabled later, its challenge may process technical information and a verification token; our server would send the token and your IP address to Cloudflare for validation. A salted IP-derived rate-limit key expires after 15 minutes.
Sharing and retention
Our hosting provider and, when enabled, Cloudflare process information needed to operate and secure the site. We do not sell form submissions. We retain private submissions until they are reviewed and deleted by NEP, or deletion is requested and applicable obligations permit it.
Your choices
You may use the contact form to request access to, correction of or deletion of information you submitted, or to ask us not to send further updates. We will evaluate requests under applicable law.
AI screening of company submissions
When enabled, OpenAI processes selected company-description fields and the company website domain to help us identify spam and decide whether to send an automated receipt acknowledgment. We do not send the form's name, email, phone, IP address, structured financial fields, tracking fields, or attachments to the AI service. Information you include in the selected free-text fields may be processed, so please do not include sensitive or confidential information. We request that AI responses are not stored as retrievable response records; OpenAI's applicable API data retention policies still apply. AI screening is not identity verification or an investment decision. All accepted submissions remain available to NEP for human review, regardless of the screening result. Acknowledgment emails are transactional receipts, not marketing subscriptions or a promise of follow-up.
