Privacy & terms

Privacy policy

1. Who this notice covers

This Privacy Policy applies to personal data we process when you visit our public website (including pages under domains we operate, such as paths served from adhdcapital.xyzand related properties we link as official), communicate with us by email or other channels we control, or otherwise engage with our research and discretionary capital workflow. It is designed to align with the transparency requirements of the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") and comparable U.S. state privacy statutes, without waiving any rights we may have under other laws.

2. Categories of personal data

Depending on how you interact with us, we may process:

• Identifiers and contact data: name, email address, social handles, employer or project name, and similar details you voluntarily provide (for example when you email hello@adhdcapital.xyz or support@adhdcapital.xyz).
• Commercial information: high-level descriptions of technologies, token networks, or other initiatives you share so we can assess fit with our research mission and, where applicable, the impact case for discretionary funding.
• Internet or device data: IP address, browser type, referring URLs, approximate location derived from IP, and diagnostic logs our hosting infrastructure records for security and reliability.
• Inferences: internal notes or ratings derived from diligence meetings, written materials, and public sources—used only to prioritize research effort and, separately, any optional capital allocation.

3. Purposes and legal bases (EEA/UK)

Under GDPR Article 6, we rely on: (a) contract where processing is necessary to respond to a specific request you make; (b) legitimate interests to operate and secure the site, publish research, perform outreach, and conduct proportionate diligence on potential collaborations—balanced against your rights; and (c) consent where we place non-essential cookies or similar technologies, when required. Where GDPR Article 9 special-category data might theoretically arise from free-text submissions, we do not solicit it; please do not send health or similarly sensitive information unless we have explicitly agreed otherwise in writing.

4. How we use personal data in practice

• Serve content, maintain session integrity, and protect against fraud or abuse.
• Correspond with founders, researchers, and partners; schedule calls; and archive materials subject to our retention rules.
• Evaluate technical and market impact, reproducibility of claims, and alignment with our thesis—criteria that inform whether we deepen research involvement or extend discretionary funding, always on a case-by-case basis.
• Comply with law, enforce our Terms of Use, and defend legal claims.

5. Disclosure

We share personal data with subprocessors that provide hosting, email delivery, security monitoring, and similar infrastructure, under written agreements that require confidentiality and appropriate safeguards. We may disclose information if required by subpoena, court order, or applicable law, or to protect the rights and safety of ADHD Capital personnel or the public. We do not sell personal data as that term is defined under the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (“CCPA/CPRA”), nor do we “share” it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

6. International transfers

We may process data in the United States and other jurisdictions. Where GDPR applies, we rely on approved transfer mechanisms such as the EU Commission Standard Contractual Clauses, supplemented by technical and organizational measures that reflect the Schrems II remedial guidance from the Court of Justice of the European Union.

7. Retention

Server logs and security telemetry are kept only as long as needed for the underlying purpose—typically rolling deletion within months unless incident investigation requires longer retention. Business correspondence and diligence records may be retained for several years to document research conclusions, satisfy regulatory expectations for financial institutions we partner with, and manage disputes, after which they are deleted or anonymized where feasible.

8. Your rights

Depending on jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or export your personal data, and to object to certain processing or automated decision-making. Under GDPR Articles 15–22 these rights are subject to statutory exceptions. California residents may exercise CPRA rights (access, deletion, correction, opt-out of sale/sharing—N/A here, and limiting use of sensitive data) by emailing support@adhdcapital.xyz. We will verify requests in line with applicable law and may need additional information to process them. You may lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority; the Irish Data Protection Commission and UK Information Commissioner’s Office publish helpful guidance for EU/UK individuals.

9. Children

Our services are not directed to anyone under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children in violation of the U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act framework or comparable rules.

10. Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect new practices or legal requirements. The “Effective” date at the top will change when revisions are material, and we will post the updated notice on this page.

Terms of use

1. Acceptance

By accessing our website or otherwise using materials we publish, you agree to these Terms of Use and to the Privacy Policy above, which is incorporated by reference. If you disagree, do not use the site.

2. Who we are; informational nature of content

ADHD Capital is a research-led collective focused on crypto, fintech, deep tech, and anything in between—including networks, rails, and frontier stacks. Everything on this site—including articles, memos, models, and charts—is provided for informational and educational purposes only. It is not investment advice, a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any asset, or an offer or solicitation in any jurisdiction where such activity would be unlawful. Securities, tokens, and derivatives involve extreme risk; consult licensed professionals before making financial decisions.

3. No advisory or fiduciary relationship

Use of the site does not create a client, advisory, fiduciary, or partnership relationship between you and ADHD Capital. Communications through email, social channels, or meetings—including exploratory diligence—do not constitute an agreement to provide services unless we both execute a separate written contract that expressly says so.

4. Research independence; discretionary funding theory

Our workflow separates (a) public and bespoke research from (b) any discretionary funding or resource allocation. Research is driven by intellectual merit, falsifiability, and public-interest relevance. Funding decisions—when made—are additive and narrow: they depend on impact we can defend ex post, alignment with our mandate, availability of capital, legal eligibility, and diligence outcomes. There is no obligation to fund, partner, respond, or continue discussions. Past engagement, publication, or verbal encouragement implies no commitment. Any allocation is preceded by separate documentation where legally required.

5. Submissions and confidentiality

If you share pitch materials, data rooms, or other non-public information, you represent you have authority to share it. Unless we sign a mutual NDA, we cannot guarantee treatment as a legally enforceable trade secret, but we will use reasonable measures to limit internal distribution to personnel who need it for research or investment evaluation and will not intentionally disclose your confidential information except as required by law or with your consent.

6. Intellectual property

Unless otherwise noted, site content is owned by ADHD Capital or its licensors and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. You may view, download, and print reasonable portions for personal, non-commercial use, provided you keep attribution intact. You may not scrape the site in bulk, resell our materials, or remove proprietary notices. Trademarks displayed are the property of their respective owners.

7. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Introduce malware, attempt unauthorized access, or probe our systems for weakness.
• Mislead us as to identity, affiliation, or authority.
• Use our research to defraud others or manipulate markets.
• Violate applicable sanctions, export-control, or anti-money-laundering laws.

8. Third-party links and embedded content

We may link to third-party sites, protocols, or social platforms. Their terms and privacy practices govern your use; we are not responsible for third-party content or losses arising from reliance on it.

9. Disclaimers

THE SITE AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ADHD CAPITAL DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT ERROR-FREE OR UNINTERRUPTED SERVICE.

10. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEITHER ADHD CAPITAL NOR ITS CONTRIBUTORS WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SITE OR RELIANCE ON OUR RESEARCH, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY. OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATING TO THE SITE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US$100) OR (B) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US (IF ANY) IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM—WHICH WILL USUALLY BE ZERO FOR PUBLIC SITE USERS. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS; IN THOSE CASES OUR LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE MINIMUM PERMITTED BY LAW.

11. Indemnity

You will indemnify and hold harmless ADHD Capital and its personnel from claims, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from your misuse of the site, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of law.

12. Governing law and venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, excluding conflict-of-law rules that would apply another jurisdiction’s substantive law. Subject to mandatory consumer protections where you reside, you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Delaware for disputes arising from or relating to these Terms or the site, and waive any objection to inconvenient forum, except that ADHD Capital may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction.

13. General

If any provision is unenforceable, the remainder stays in effect. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger or asset sale. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and ADHD Capital regarding use of the public site (but do not supersede a separate signed contract, if one exists).
