Privacy Policy

1. Data Collection Philosophy

We subscribe to a "Data Minimization" protocol. We only collect signals necessary for the operation of our studio services, investment activities, and recruitment processes. This includes:

• Identity Data: Name, professional title, and contact coordinates provided via our Ledger forms.
• Technical Telemetry: IP addresses, browser fingerprints, and usage patterns on our digital properties (OmnoStock, FrontFlip, etc.).
• Investment Data: Financial accreditation status and capital deployment history for LPs.

2. Usage of Information

Data is fuel for our internal decision engines. We utilize your information to:

• Evaluate candidacy for our "Architects" program and leadership roles.
• Verify investor accreditation status for regulatory compliance.
• Improve the performance and latency of our distributed applications.
• Detect and prevent fraud across our fintech portfolio.

3. The "Black Box" Promise

We do not sell data. We are a venture studio, not an ad network. Your data remains within the Blackroot ecosystem (including our portfolio companies) and is never exposed to third-party brokers without explicit consent.

4. International Transfers

As a global operation headquartered in Lagos, your data may traverse international borders. We utilize standard contractual clauses and encryption-at-rest to ensure sovereignty and security regardless of physical server location.

5. Your Rights

Under global data protection frameworks (including NDPR), you retain the right to:

• Request a copy of your "Ledger Entry" (Access).
• Request deletion of your profile from our systems (Erasure).
• Object to algorithmic processing of your data.
