Hosting and Automatic Data Collection 

Our website is hosted by Wix.com Ltd., 40 Namal Tel Aviv St., Tel Aviv 6350671, Israel, and its subsidiary Wix.com Inc., 500 Terry A. Francois Blvd., San Francisco, CA 94158, USA. Wix acts as a data processor on our behalf. When you visit our website, Wix's web servers automatically collect and store certain data in server log files that your browser transmits. This includes the full URL of the accessed page, the browser type and version, the operating system used, the URL of the previously visited page (referrer URL), the IP address of the requesting device, as well as the date and time of access. This data is collected for the purpose of ensuring the technical functionality, security and stability of the website. The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, namely our legitimate interest in the secure and stable operation of our website. Server log files are typically stored for a maximum of 30 days and then automatically deleted. We do not pass this data on to third parties, but we cannot exclude the possibility that this data may be reviewed by authorities in the event of unlawful conduct. For further details on how Wix processes data, please refer to Wix's privacy policy at https://www.wix.com/about/privacy.

 

Cookies

Legal framework for cookies in Austria Under § 165(3) of the Austrian Telecommunications Act 2021 (TKG 2021), the storage of information on your device or the access to information already stored on your device requires your prior informed consent, unless the cookie is strictly necessary for the sole purpose of transmitting a communication over an electronic communications network, or is strictly necessary for the provision of a service you have explicitly requested.

Our website uses cookies that are technically necessary for the website to function, such as session management and security features provided by our hosting provider Wix. These cookies do not require your consent under § 165(3) TKG 2021. If we use non-essential cookies, we will obtain your prior consent through a cookie consent banner before any such cookies are set on your device.

Contact Form and Pitch Deck Submissions 

When you use our contact form or submit a pitch deck via our website, we collect and process the following data: your name, your email address, your company or startup name, the content of your message, any documents you attach such as pitch decks or presentations, the date and time of submission, and your IP address which is collected automatically by our hosting provider.

 

We process this data for the purpose of evaluating potential investment opportunities, communicating with you about your submission, and — where there is mutual interest — entering into discussions or an investment relationship. The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, as the processing is necessary for pre-contractual measures taken at your request, and Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, namely our legitimate interest in evaluating investment opportunities, which is the core of our business activity.

 

We understand that pitch decks and related materials may contain commercially sensitive and confidential information. Submitted materials are accessible only to the partners and team members of ROI1 Ventures GmbH who are involved in deal evaluation. We do not share your pitch deck or related materials with third parties without your prior consent.

 

Email Communication 

If you contact us via email at team@roi-ventures.at, we process your email address, the content of your message and any attachments for the purpose of responding to your enquiry. The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, namely our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries directed at us, and Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where the communication relates to pre-contractual measures. Email correspondence is retained for as long as necessary to address the subject of the communication, and thereafter in accordance with statutory retention obligations. Please note that standard email communication is not encrypted end-to-end. We recommend not sending highly sensitive personal data such as bank details or identity documents via unencrypted email.

 

Embedded Content and Social Media 

Our website contains links to social media services, in particular LinkedIn. If you interact with social media elements embedded on our website, such as sharing buttons or linked content, data may be transferred from your browser to the respective social media service and stored there. We have no influence over the scope of data collected by the respective provider.

 

LinkedIn 

On our website we use elements from the social media network LinkedIn. The provider for the European Economic Area and Switzerland is LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland. LinkedIn is a subsidiary of LinkedIn Corporation, 1000 W Maude Ave, Sunnyvale, CA 94085, USA. When you visit a page on our website that contains a LinkedIn element, your browser may establish a direct connection to LinkedIn's servers. If you are logged into your LinkedIn account at the time, LinkedIn may associate your visit to our website with your account. The legal basis for the use of LinkedIn elements is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, namely our legitimate interest in presenting our company and networking on professional platforms, and Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (your consent) where LinkedIn tracking scripts require prior opt-in via our cookie consent mechanism. For further information on data processing by LinkedIn, please refer to LinkedIn's privacy policy at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy.
