• No bulk export or scraping. You may not bulk-export, scrape, or programmatically extract investor data from the platform, whether via our UI, API, or any other means.
• No contact for unrelated purposes. You may not contact investors identified through our platform for any purpose unrelated to your own fundraising round, including but not limited to sales outreach, marketing campaigns, or any non-investment solicitation.
• No harassment or abuse. You may not use investor data to harass, stalk, threaten, or contact individuals in a manner that would constitute harassment or a violation of applicable law.
• No aggregation or profiling for external use. You may not combine investor data from our platform with other datasets to create consumer profiles, financial intelligence products, or similar derivative works for external distribution or sale.

We take the protection of investors’ personal information seriously. Violations of this section will be reported to relevant authorities where required by law.

• Any fines, penalties, legal claims, or regulatory actions arising from non-compliant email campaigns you conduct through the Services.
