Privacy Policy
Last updated: December 2025
StartMeUp, hereinafter referred to as “StartMeUp”, “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”, is committed to complying with applicable data protection laws. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, process, and protect personal data of users (“You”, “Your”) in connection with the website https://startmeup.click/ (the “Website”, “Platform”).
What is personal data?
In this Privacy Policy, “personal data” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (“data subject”). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an online identifier, or one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that person.
For the avoidance of doubt, personal data does not include information from which you cannot be identified, including anonymized, aggregated, or de-identified data.
“Processing” means any operation or set of operations performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure, dissemination, restriction, erasure, or destruction.
How do we collect personal data and for what purposes?
StartMeUp collects personal data at the moment you sign up or submit information on the Website, based on your consent. Where you subsequently enter into a contractual or business relationship with StartMeUp, your personal data will be processed only as necessary for the performance of that contract or to take steps at your request prior to entering into it.
By submitting your information to us, you agree to the processing described in this Privacy Policy.
Your personal data is stored for the duration of your relationship with StartMeUp. Once the relationship is terminated, personal data will be processed only:
- to comply with legal obligations;
- to demonstrate regulatory compliance; or
- for legitimate interests pursued by StartMeUp or third parties, provided such interests are not overridden by your fundamental rights and freedoms.
As a data subject, you have rights under applicable data protection laws to access, rectify, delete, restrict, object to processing, and request portability of your personal data, free of charge, subject to legal limitations.

Except for Technical Data, most personal data is provided directly by you through forms, registrations, or communications with us.
Failure to provide personal data
Where we are required by law or contract to collect personal data and you fail to provide it, we may be unable to provide certain services or perform a contract. In such cases, we will notify you where applicable.
