PRIVACYPOLICY.

How Lengdon collects, uses, and protects your personal data. Last updated 22 September 2026.

Who we are

Lengdon ("we", "us") is operated by Venture Tech LLC, a company under incorporation in the DIFC FinTech Hive, Dubai, United Arab Emirates. We operate closing infrastructure for private capital transactions. We process personal data as a data controller in the course of operating the Lengdon platform. For data protection enquiries: privacy@lengdon.com

What data we collect

We collect and process the following categories of personal data: Identity data: Full name, as provided at account creation and NDA confirmation. Contact data: Email address and, where provided, a telephone number. Transaction data: Actions taken within a deal room — confirmations, document accesses, signing events, payment confirmations. This data forms part of the append-only audit record. Authentication data: Login events, MFA events, session data. We do not store passwords in plain text. Technical data: IP address, device type, browser type, and access timestamps. Collected for security and fraud prevention purposes. We do not collect payment card data. We do not handle, process, or store financial instruments.

How we use your data

We use personal data for the following purposes: To operate the Lengdon platform: Providing the deal room infrastructure, enforcing the closing sequence, and generating the append-only audit record. To comply with legal obligations: Maintaining records as required under applicable law, including data protection law, anti-money laundering regulations, and contract law. To protect the security of the platform: Detecting and preventing fraud, unauthorised access, and abuse. To communicate with you: Responding to enquiries, sending transactional notifications (stage status, signatures required), and, where you have consented, sending product updates. We do not use personal data for advertising. We do not sell personal data to third parties.

Legal basis for processing

We process personal data on the following legal bases: Contract performance (Article 6(1)(b) UK GDPR): Processing necessary to provide the Lengdon service you have contracted for. Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) UK GDPR): Security monitoring, fraud prevention, and platform integrity. We have assessed that these interests are not overridden by your rights. Legal obligation (Article 6(1)(c) UK GDPR): Compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Consent (Article 6(1)(a) UK GDPR): Where you have opted in to receive product communications. Consent can be withdrawn at any time.

The append-only audit record

A core feature of Lengdon is the append-only audit record — a tamper-evident log of every action taken in a deal room. This record contains personal data (names, roles, timestamps, actions). It cannot be deleted or modified after creation — this is a fundamental design property, not a limitation. Both parties to a transaction receive a copy of the complete audit record at close. This is a contractual commitment, not optional behaviour. Because the audit record is append-only, we cannot fulfil requests to delete personal data contained within it where that data is part of the legally required closing record. We will inform you of this limitation before you enter a deal room. We retain audit records for a minimum of seven years following close, and for as long as reasonably required by applicable law.

Data retention and account closure

When you close your account, we delete your personal profile and account data — the information that is solely yours, such as your profile details and personal settings. Data you created that is shared with a counterparty — notes, activity records, and entries in an ongoing negotiation or deal room — is handled differently, because the other party has a legitimate interest in the integrity of a record they were part of. That data is either retained or anonymised: where it is retained, your identifying details are replaced with a permanent anonymous reference, and the substance of the record is preserved. We do this because deleting a shared record outright would corrupt the other party's own legitimate record of the same transaction. The append-only audit record described above is never affected by account closure — it is retained in full, per the retention period stated above, regardless of whether either party's account is later closed. We do not delete counterparty-shared data or audit record data on request, including on account closure, beyond the anonymisation described here — this reflects the legitimate interest of the other party and, for the audit record, our own record-keeping obligations under applicable law.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, you have the following rights: Right of access: You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. Right to rectification: You may request correction of inaccurate personal data. Right to erasure: You may request deletion of personal data where we have no legal basis for continued processing. Note: this right does not apply to data contained in the append-only audit record, and counterparty-shared data is anonymised rather than deleted — see "Data retention and account closure" above. Right to restrict processing: You may request that we limit our use of your data in certain circumstances. Right to data portability: You may request a machine-readable copy of data you have provided to us. Right to object: You may object to processing based on legitimate interests. To exercise any of these rights, contact: privacy@lengdon.com You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO): ico.org.uk

Data transfers

Lengdon's database and file storage are hosted on Supabase infrastructure. Per-deal-room jurisdiction selection is not available today — all data is stored in a single region, disclosed on request. Where we transfer data outside the UK or EEA, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place (Standard Contractual Clauses or adequacy decisions).

Cookies

We use strictly necessary cookies to operate the Lengdon platform. We do not use advertising cookies, tracking cookies, or third-party analytics cookies today. For the full list of what we set, why, and how to control it, see our Cookie Policy.
