Our Removal Policy

StartupHub.ai maintains a public directory of startups, investors, and the people associated with them. The information we publish is sourced from public records, company websites, press releases, news coverage, and similar publicly available material.

We will remove:

• Genuinely private information that is not otherwise publicly available (home addresses, personal phone numbers, personal email addresses)
• Content that infringes a valid copyright you own, upon receipt of a properly formulated notice
• Demonstrably false statements of fact
• Personal data where required by GDPR Art. 17, CCPA, or equivalent law and no overriding public interest applies
• Information about private individuals who are not public-facing in a business capacity

We will not remove:

• Accurate, publicly-sourced information about founders, executives, investors, and other public-facing business actors regarding their professional roles
• Information the subject or their employer has themselves published
• Accurate reporting of business activity (funding, hiring, launches, closures) drawn from public sources
• Content subject to requests we determine to be vexatious, repetitive, or aimed at manipulating search traffic
• Content covered by journalistic, academic, or public-interest exemptions under applicable law

Response Times

Valid GDPR and CCPA requests are acknowledged within 72 hours and resolved within the statutory timeframes (30 days GDPR, 45 days CCPA, with extensions permitted by law). Other requests are reviewed in the order received.

Abuse of Process

Submitting false, frivolous, or bad-faith legal requests — including requests made to suppress accurate reporting, to manipulate our search traffic, or to coerce commercial outcomes — may be treated as tortious interference or abuse of process and will be documented accordingly.
