Who We Are
First Imagine! Ventures LLP is a European venture capital firm investing in scalable technologies that increase resilience, autonomy and productivity. Operating from Cyprus, London and Paris, we focus on founders building deep technological advantages in markets shaped by structural volatility and long-term system transformation.
Legal Basis for Processing
This Privacy Policy is provided in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679, the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), Law 125(I)/2018 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and the free movement of such data, as amended from time to time, and any other applicable data protection laws in Cyprus and, where relevant, abroad.
For the purposes of applicable data protection law, the Company acts as a data controller. We collect, use and otherwise process personal data that you provide to us, or that may be provided to us in the future, where such processing is necessary for the performance of our services, compliance with our legal and regulatory obligations, and fulfilment of requirements applicable to the Company. Depending on the specific purpose of processing, more than one lawful basis may apply.
Recipients of Personal Data and Confidentiality
We will treat personal data relating to you as confidential. We will not disclose such data to third parties except where disclosure is required or permitted by applicable law, or where disclosure is necessary for the provision of our services. Recipients may include our employees, officers, associates, agents, professional advisers, service providers and other persons engaged by the Company, including persons located outside the Republic of Cyprus or outside the European Union. We may also disclose personal data where required by a court of competent jurisdiction, regulatory authority, supervisory body, law enforcement agency or any other authority or person to whom disclosure is required under applicable law or regulation.
Storage and Retention of Personal Data
We will retain your personal data securely for as long as necessary in connection with the provision of our services and for such longer period as may be required or permitted by applicable law, regulation, professional obligation or legitimate business requirement. We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.
How We Use Personal Data
Your personal data may be collected, recorded, organised, stored, used, transmitted and otherwise processed in electronic and/or physical form. Where necessary for the provision of our services or compliance with applicable obligations, personal data may be transferred to third countries within or outside the European Union. Where a third country is not subject to an adequacy decision by the European Commission, the Company will implement appropriate safeguards in accordance with the GDPR to protect your personal data.
