This notice explains how REBL Ventures Limited (“REBL”, “we”, “us”) uses personal information about applicants, members, guests, partners and website visitors.
1. Who we are
REBL Ventures Limited is the controller of your personal information. Company number 17438046. Registered office: 8 East Terrace, Exeter, England, EX1 2TQ. ICO registration number: ZC241786.
Contact us about privacy at privacy@reblventures.co.

Applications are collected through Tally.
- Membership information: contact details, membership plan, start and renewal dates, attendance, and records of introductions we make.
- Payment information: billing name, email, address and payment status. Card details are handled by Stripe; we never see or store your full card number.
- Community information: your phone number, WhatsApp name and profile photo, your Slack name and profile, and messages you post in REBL WhatsApp groups and on Slack.
- Event information: RSVPs, and any dietary, allergy or accessibility needs you choose to tell us.
- Photos, video and recordings: photos and video taken at events, and recordings or transcripts of some online sessions (using tools such as Granola or Calendly Notetaker).
- Communications: emails and messages you send us.
- Introduction requests and nominations: if you ask for an introduction through the REBL Network, or nominate a founder, the details you send us — your name, email, LinkedIn, your message, and the details you give about the person you’re nominating. Introduction requests are collected through Netlify Forms; nominations by email.

5. International transfers
Some of our providers (for example Stripe, Meta, Slack, Google and Calendly) process data outside the UK, including in the United States. Where they do, we rely on UK adequacy regulations (including the UK–US data bridge) or the UK International Data Transfer Agreement / Addendum to protect your information.

- Session recordings and transcripts: 2 years unless needed for a concern or claim.
- Safety and conduct records: as long as reasonably needed to protect the community or deal with legal claims.
Messages you post in WhatsApp groups or on Slack may stay visible to other members after you leave, and copies may exist on members’ devices that we can’t control.
7. Your rights
You have the right to: access your personal information; have it corrected; have it deleted; restrict or object to how we use it; data portability; and withdraw consent at any time. To use your rights, email privacy@reblventures.co. We’ll respond within one month.
