    • Legal obligation — where processing is required to comply with applicable law

    You may withdraw consent at any time by contacting privacy@elaraventures.com. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before withdrawal.

    12. Platform API Data and Third-Party Integrations

    Where our systems access data via third-party platform APIs (including LinkedIn, Meta, X/Twitter, Threads, and Substack), we commit to the following:
