Privacy Policy

Last Updated: 7/21/2026

At Startup Visa Impact Canada, your privacy and the confidentiality of your startup's sensitive information are our highest priority.

1. Information We Collect

When you submit your startup, we collect details about your founders, company profile, economic impact, and innovation metrics. We also require verification documents such as incorporation papers, funding records, and employment verification.

2. How We Use Your Information

The information you provide is used to verify your startup for inclusion in our public directory and to aggregate data for our impact reports. Your verification documents are used strictly for internal review and are never made public.

3. Privacy Controls

During the submission process, you have granular control over what information is made public and what is kept private (visible only to administrators). You can choose to hide founder names, contact emails, specific financial figures, and intellectual property details.

4. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest.
