If you have any questions about this policy or about how your information is handled, please contact us using the details in section 11.
What this policy covers
This policy applies when you:
- Visit our website or read our pages.
- Submit an application form for the Studio Track, the Build Challenge, or any other HyKr program.
- Email us, message us, or interact with us on social platforms.
- Attend an event, workshop, or office hours hosted by HyKr.
It does not cover:
- Third-party websites, apps, or platforms that we link to — their own privacy policies apply.

Information you provide directly
When you use our forms or contact us, you may provide:
- Contact details — name, email address, phone number, city, country.
- Startup or idea details — company or project name, problem statement, traction, stage, and supporting links or documents.
- Team details — co-founder names, roles, and profile links such as LinkedIn.
- Application responses — answers to program questions, preferences, and any files you upload.
- Communications — emails, messages, and notes from meetings or calls with our team.
Please share only what is needed. Do not send confidential or highly sensitive information unless we have specifically asked for it.
Information collected automatically
When you visit our website, some limited technical information may be collected:
- IP address, browser type, device type, and approximate location.
- Pages viewed, time spent on pages, referring URLs, and links clicked.
- Date and time of your visit and basic performance diagnostics.
This helps us understand how people use the site and keep it secure and reliable. We do not use it to build advertising profiles.
How we use your information
We use your information to:
Operate our programs
- Review and respond to applications for the Studio Track and Build Challenge.
- Schedule calls, interviews, and diligence conversations.
- Evaluate potential partnerships and investments.
Communicate with you
- Reply to your questions and share program updates or next steps.
- Send occasional updates about HyKr, only where permitted.
Improve our services
- Understand how the site is used and improve content and structure.
- Diagnose technical issues and protect against misuse.
Meet legal obligations
- Comply with applicable laws, tax and accounting requirements.
- Establish, exercise, or defend legal claims where necessary.
We do not sell your personal data, and we do not share it with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
Cookies and analytics
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to:
- Keep the site functioning correctly and securely.
- Understand aggregate usage patterns.
- Improve site performance and content.
You can usually block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Some parts of the site may not work as expected if essential cookies are disabled.
Data storage, retention, and security
- Your information is stored using trusted cloud and email providers, and may be processed outside your country where those providers operate.
- We use reasonable technical and organisational measures — access controls, encrypted connections, and limited internal access — to protect it.
- Application data is generally retained for as long as needed to evaluate the opportunity and to maintain a record of our decisions, and then deleted or anonymised.
- Communications and contractual records are retained for as long as required for business or legal purposes.
No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security, but we work to keep risk low.
Your choices and rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- Access the information we hold about you.
- Correct information that is inaccurate or out of date.
- Request deletion of your information.
- Object to or restrict certain uses of your information.
- Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
- Receive a copy of the information you provided, where applicable.
To exercise any of these, email us using the details in section 11 and we will respond within a reasonable timeframe. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.
You can also unsubscribe from any update emails at any time using the link in the email.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as our services, tools, or legal obligations change. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. If the changes are significant, we will take reasonable steps to let you know.
