Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Aykon Ventures (“Aykon”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), operating as Aykon Ventures L.L.C-FZ, registered in Meydan Free Zone, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, with a presence in Hyderabad, Mumbai, and selected cities, collects, uses, shares, and protects your personal information when you visit our website, contact us, or interact with our advertisements on third-party platforms.

By using our website or submitting your information to us, you agree to the practices described in this Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the website or submit your information.

We collect the following categories of personal information:

• Information you give us, your name, email address, phone number (including WhatsApp number), company or venture details, and any message or brief you choose to share through our contact forms, newsletter sign-up, or lead forms.
• Lead and advertising data, when you respond to one of our advertisements or fill in a lead form on an advertising platform such as Meta (Facebook and Instagram), Google, LinkedIn, or similar, we receive the contact details and answers you submit through that platform’s lead form.
• Technical and usage data, IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, referring URLs, and interactions, collected through cookies and similar technologies.
• Marketing identifiers, cookie IDs, advertising IDs, and pixel data used to measure and optimise our campaigns.

We run marketing campaigns and capture enquiries through third-party advertising platforms, including but not limited to:

• Meta Platforms (Facebook and Instagram), including Meta Lead Ads, the Meta Pixel, and the Conversions API.
• Google, including Google Ads, Google Analytics, and Google Tag Manager.
• Other platforms, such as LinkedIn, YouTube, and similar advertising or analytics networks.

When you submit a lead form on one of these platforms, the platform shares your submitted details with us so that we can respond to your enquiry. These platforms also place cookies or pixels that allow us to measure campaign performance, build audiences, and show you relevant advertising. Your use of those platforms is also governed by their own privacy policies, for example, Meta’s Data Policy and Google’s Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review them.

Where required by law, we will only capture leads and use advertising cookies after you have given consent, and you may withdraw that consent at any time (see “Your rights” below).

We use your personal information to:

• respond to your enquiries and requests for introductions;
• contact you by email, phone, or WhatsApp about our ventures, jewels, architecture, Catalyst founder work, and related opportunities;
• send you our letters and newsletters, where you have opted in;
• operate, measure, and improve our advertising campaigns and website;
• build and refine marketing audiences (including custom and lookalike audiences) on advertising platforms;
• comply with legal, regulatory, and security obligations.

Where applicable law (such as the EU/UK GDPR or the UAE Personal Data Protection Law) requires a legal basis, we rely on:

• Consent, for marketing communications and non-essential cookies and advertising pixels;
• Legitimate interests, to run and improve our business, respond to enquiries, and secure our website;
• Contract, to take steps at your request before entering into any engagement;
• Legal obligation, where we must process data to comply with the law.

We may share your personal information with:

• service providers who help us operate our website, email, CRM, and marketing (for example, hosting, analytics, and email providers);
• advertising platforms such as Meta and Google, in line with the purposes described above;
• professional advisers, and authorities where required by law or to protect our rights.

We do not sell your personal information. Some platforms may treat the sharing of identifiers for advertising as a “sale” or “sharing” under certain laws; where that applies, you may opt out as described below.

We operate across the UAE, India, and other jurisdictions, and our service providers and advertising platforms may process your data in countries other than your own. Where we transfer personal data internationally, we take steps to ensure it is protected by appropriate safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses, where required.

We use cookies and similar technologies, including the Meta Pixel and Google Analytics, to operate the website, remember your preferences, measure traffic, and deliver and measure advertising. You can control cookies through your browser settings and, where offered, through our cookie banner. Disabling some cookies may affect how the website works.

We keep your personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes set out in this Policy, to respond to your enquiry, to maintain our relationship, and to comply with legal obligations. When it is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymise it.

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or port your personal information; to object to or restrict certain processing; and to withdraw consent at any time. You may also opt out of marketing communications by using the unsubscribe link in our emails or by contacting us. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

Our website and services are intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can remove it.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date above reflects the latest version. Material changes will be posted on this page.
