Draft — pending legal review
This document is an internal draft prepared for discussion and is not final, not approved by legal counsel, and not yet in effect. It does not create binding obligations or rights. Do not rely on it as advice or as the operative terms of any relationship with Bridge Edge.
This draft Privacy Notice explains, in plain language, the intended approach to personal information on the Bridge Edge platform. It is a draft pending legal review and not yet in effect.
1 · What we collect
In operating the platform, Bridge Edge intends to collect the information needed to provide its services: identity and contact details used for account creation and verification; eligibility and ownership information provided during verification; membership and tier selections; expressions of interest and introduction-case records; and account, security, and usage information. Identity document images are handled only as part of governed verification, in encrypted storage, and for the short review window described below.
2 · How we use it
We use personal information to operate the platform, verify eligibility and ownership, maintain accounts and security, facilitate introductions, meet legal and regulatory obligations, and keep the platform safe for members. We do not sell personal information.
3 · What we share and why
Conversations and contact details are shared between compatible members only where relevant to an introduction and with appropriate consent. We share information with service providers that help operate the platform, with professional firms (such as counsel) where needed, and where required by law or to protect the rights and safety of members and the platform. We never send client funds or securities, and we do not hand personal information to unapproved parties.
4 · Security and retention
We apply appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal information, including encryption and access controls. We retain personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described here and to meet legal obligations, then delete or anonymise it. For the optional biometric identity-comparison step, we ask for explicit consent to compare a document portrait with a live selfie for identity verification. We do not retain face embeddings, templates, selfie frames or challenge video. Encrypted document and selfie images are deleted after the approved short review window (90 days by default); the legally required identity-verification record is retained for the applicable statutory period.
5 · Your rights
Depending on where you are based, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or port your personal information, and to object to certain processing. This draft does not provide a rights-request channel. We will not capture or retain browser passwords, MFA codes, or session tokens beyond what is required for authentication.
6 · Contact
The contact information page and support information page describe what you can send us and what happens to it: the support page records a message for a person to read, and there is no rights-request channel, tracked case, or reply commitment behind it.
