Privacy Policy

This policy covers the Arillum website and platform (“Arillum”, “we”, “us”), used by private equity sponsors, independent sponsors and private credit lenders. Arillum is for professional investors acting for their firms, not for consumers.

• Account details: your name, email address and password. Passwords are stored only as a secure hash.
• Your professional details: your title and LinkedIn profile, used to confirm you work at your firm.
• Firm details: name, website, headquarters, description and the other profile information your firm gives.
• What you create on Arillum: lender listings, deals, teasers, notes, responses, the lenders you save, and the documents you upload (kept in our database and readable only as described below).
• NDA signing details: the names and email addresses of the people who sign, and each envelope’s status.
• Your agreement to the Terms of Service: which version you accepted, and when.
• Contact form messages: your name, email address, firm, topic and message, and the IP address it was sent from (to limit abuse).
• Technical and security data: IP address, browser type, and records of who viewed or downloaded confidential material, and when.

• To run the platform: showing listings to borrowers, delivering teasers to the lenders a borrower chooses, and opening deals after a fully executed NDA.
• To review firms before approving them, and to review them again when their details change.
• To send the emails the service needs, such as confirming your email address, review decisions and teaser responses.
• To keep Arillum secure: limiting repeated sign-in attempts, preventing abuse and keeping an audit trail of access to confidential material.
• To compare a borrower’s deal with lenders’ published criteria and profiles, so borrowers see how each lender matches. When a borrower picks one of its deals, AI models that run on Arillum’s own server order lenders by fit, reading the deal, its documents, the borrower firm’s profile and each lender’s profile, criteria and history on Arillum. No deal data is sent to an outside AI service, lenders never see these scores, and it is not automated decision-making about people.
• To reply to messages you send us.

We do not sell personal information or share it for advertising, and we do not use advertising or analytics trackers. Information is shared only as follows.

• Other members, as the product works: approved borrowers see published lender listings; a teaser is seen only by the borrower that sent it and the lender it was sent to; a company’s identity and shared documents open only to a lender with a fully executed NDA for that deal.
• Service providers that run parts of Arillum for us: Cloudflare (network, encryption in transit and security), Resend (email delivery) and DocuSign (NDA e‑signature). They receive only what they need for that service and may not use it for anything else.
• Where the law requires it, or to protect Arillum, our members or others from fraud or abuse.

Arillum uses only what it needs to work. We do not use cookies for advertising or analytics, so there is nothing to opt out of.

• One sign-in cookie (better-auth.session_token), set when you sign in and kept for up to 7 days. It cannot be read by scripts on the page.
• Your appearance setting (light or dark), kept in your browser’s local storage.
• Cloudflare, which protects the site, may set cookies of its own to block automated abuse and to control access.

We keep your information while your firm uses Arillum and for as long as needed afterwards to meet legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements. Audit records of access to confidential material and executed NDAs are kept even after related content is removed, because they record who saw what. While Arillum is a preview, we may reset or delete accounts and data without notice, so please do not enter real deal information.

Access rules are enforced on our servers on every request. Read how in Security. Connections to Arillum are encrypted. If a security incident affects your information, we will tell you as the law requires. No system is perfectly secure, so please share deal information only inside Arillum, not through the contact form or email.

You can view and update your profile and your firm’s profile in Arillum at any time. You can also ask us to:

• give you a copy of the personal information we hold about you;
• correct it;
• delete your account and personal information;
• stop using it for a purpose you object to.

Write to us through the contact page (choose “Help with my account”). We will confirm it is you, then respond within 30 days. Some records, such as audit records, executed NDAs and what other members received from you before an NDA, may have to be kept; we will tell you if so. We will not treat you differently for asking.

Arillum is for professionals acting for their firms. It is not meant for anyone under 18, and we do not knowingly collect their information.

If we change this policy, we will update the date above, and tell members by email before any significant change takes effect.
