What we collect, and why.

What We Collect

When you apply to join Pareto, our application form collects your full name, email address, university, LinkedIn profile, a short stock thesis, and your CV. If you contact us by email, we hold whatever you send us in that message. We don't use cookies or analytics that track you individually — our analytics tooling reports aggregate page traffic only, not identifiable visitor data.

Why We Collect It

Application data is used solely to evaluate membership applications for the relevant cohort — reviewing your background, contacting you about your application, and, if accepted, onboarding you into the society. We do not sell or share your data with third parties, and we do not use it for marketing.

How Long We Keep It

If your application isn't successful, we delete your application data within 12 months of the decision. If you join, we keep member records for as long as you're active with the society, plus a short period afterward for alumni records, unless you ask us to delete it sooner.

Your Rights

Under EU/Dutch data protection law (GDPR), you can ask us what personal data we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Email info@paretoinvestment.nl and we'll respond within a reasonable time.
