Trust & Security
Built for Investor-Grade Confidentiality
Yemzio is designed to handle one of the most sensitive data environments in venture capital: startup dealflow.
Investment teams use Yemzio to process founder communications, pitch materials, internal evaluations, and deal discussions. This includes information that is often confidential, time-sensitive, and commercially sensitive.
From day one, Yemzio has been built with a simple principle:
Your dealflow is your advantage. We treat it that way.
How Yemzio Works with Your Data
Yemzio connects to your email and converts incoming startup introductions into structured dealflow.
This means the platform processes:
Founder emails and introductions
Pitch decks and attachments
Internal notes and evaluations
Investment discussions and timelines
All of this data remains under your control.
Yemzio does not act as a data owner. We act as infrastructure that organizes your dealflow into a structured system.
Data Ownership and Control
You retain full ownership of your data at all times.
Yemzio does not claim ownership over:
Startup information
Email content
Internal investment notes
Dealflow history
You control:
Who has access within your team
What data is processed
When data is removed
We do not sell, share, or use your data for advertising or external purposes.
Email Integration and Access
Email integration is a core part of Yemzio.
Access is strictly limited to what is necessary for the platform to function.
Yemzio is designed to:
Identify relevant startup introductions
Structure those communications into startup profiles
Link conversations into a timeline
We do not scan or analyze unrelated emails, and we do not access inbox data beyond what is required for dealflow structuring.
Human access to email data is restricted and only occurs when necessary for technical support, under controlled conditions.
Security Architecture
Yemzio is built using modern security practices designed to protect sensitive investment data.
Data is encrypted both in transit and at rest using industry-standard protocols. Access to systems is restricted and monitored, and authentication mechanisms are implemented to prevent unauthorized access.
Within the platform, access to data is controlled through role-based permissions. This ensures that users only see information relevant to their role within the investment team.
Each customer environment is logically separated to prevent data exposure across different organizations. Your dealflow is not visible to other users or firms on the platform.
Internal Access Controls
Access to customer data within Yemzio is tightly controlled.
Only a limited number of authorized personnel can access systems where data is stored, and only when required for maintenance or support. All access is restricted, monitored, and based on a need-to-know basis.
Yemzio is designed to minimize human interaction with customer data wherever possible.
Data Isolation Between Firms
Each venture firm using Yemzio operates within its own isolated environment.
There is no shared dealflow layer between customers.
This means:
One fund cannot access another fund’s data
Startup information remains fully contained within each organization
Internal discussions are private to your team
This isolation is fundamental to maintaining trust across the platform.
Data Retention and Deletion
You remain in control of your data lifecycle.
You can delete data from the platform, and upon termination of your account, your data will be removed after a defined retention period, unless required by law.
Backup systems may temporarily retain data, but these are securely managed and automatically cleared.
Compliance and Legal Framework
Yemzio is designed to operate in line with European data protection standards, including GDPR.
We provide:
Terms of Service
Privacy Policy
Data Processing Agreement (DPA)
These documents define how data is handled, processed, and protected within the platform.
Subprocessors and Infrastructure
Yemzio relies on trusted infrastructure providers to operate the platform.
These providers are selected based on their security standards and reliability and are contractually bound to protect data.
We maintain oversight of all subprocessors and ensure they meet appropriate data protection requirements.
Ongoing Security Approach
Security is not a one-time setup. It is continuously improved.
We refine our approach based on:
Feedback from venture capital users
Evolving infrastructure requirements
Best practices in SaaS security
As Yemzio grows, our security architecture evolves with it.
What This Means for You
Yemzio is not just another productivity tool.
It is infrastructure designed for managing one of your most valuable assets: dealflow.
You should expect:
Full control over your data
Clear boundaries on access
Strong data isolation
A platform that respects the confidentiality of your investment process
