What we collect and why
How we use your data
We process personal data for two purposes only: (a) to fulfil the specific service you requested, and (b) where you have given explicit consent, to send you updates about AHV's work. We do not profile visitors, run remarketing campaigns, or share data with advertising networks.
Who has access
Your data is processed by AHV and by its authorised Data Processors. For standard document downloads and general enquiries, the only processor is Resend, Inc. (email delivery). For the ReFound Assessment, three processors are involved: Anthropic, Inc. (AI processing of your responses via the Claude API), Resend, Inc. (email delivery of your ReFound Card), and HubSpot, Inc. (secure CRM storage of your assessment record). None of these processors use your data for their own commercial purposes. Access within AHV is restricted to Harshwardhansingh Thakur.

ReFound (the M-5 Ecosystem Pathway Designer) is a structured reflection tool that asks you to share detailed information about a past business experience, including the circumstances of a business that ended, your emotional relationship with that experience, your current identity, and your forward orientation. The responses you provide are sensitive personal data under Indian law and under internationally recognised psychological assessment standards. This notice sets out how that data is collected, processed, stored, and protected.
What you share and why it is sensitive
Your responses to the 24 ReFound questions may include: a narrative of a business failure; your emotional state at the time and now; your social and family support; your sense of identity; and your current thinking about the future. This level of disclosure is necessary for the tool to produce a meaningful result. Because it touches on personal history, emotional experience, and psychological state, AHV treats it as sensitive data and applies a higher standard of care than to standard personal data.
How your data is processed
The Practitioner Brief
Every ReFound assessment generates a Practitioner Brief — an internal AHV document that provides a detailed psychological synthesis of your responses, including scored dimensions, key themes from your answers, suggested opening points for an advisory conversation, and psychological watch points. This Brief is used by AHV advisors to prepare for any follow-up conversation with you. Its existence and purpose is disclosed in the consent notice you accept before beginning the assessment. The Practitioner Brief is sent to contact@a-h-ventures.com and is not shared outside AHV without your written permission.
What ReFound is and is not
ReFound is: a structured reflection tool, a pattern-identification instrument, and a pathway prescription service. It is a starting point for an advisory conversation.
ReFound is not: therapy, counselling, a clinical psychological assessment, a mental health diagnostic tool, or a substitute for professional mental health support. It is not administered by licensed clinicians. If you are in distress and need immediate support, please contact iCall (9152987821) or the Vandrevala Foundation helpline (1860-2662-345, available 24/7).
Consent and your rights
Your responses are processed only with your explicit prior consent, given via the consent mechanism on the ReFound assessment page. You may withdraw consent at any time. Upon withdrawal, AHV will delete your HubSpot record, request deletion of your Resend delivery records, and archive your Practitioner Brief in a restricted folder. Anthropic's API processing cannot be retroactively erased, but all records within AHV's control will be deleted. You have the right to access, correct, or erase your data, and to raise a grievance, using the contact details in the Privacy Policy above. Responses are retained for three years from the date of your assessment. Consent records are retained for six years.
Research use
If you ticked the optional research consent checkbox when completing the assessment, anonymised and de-identified insights from your responses may be used in academic research into entrepreneurial recovery pathways. No personally identifiable information will appear in any publication. If you did not tick that box, your data will not be used for research under any circumstances.
Under-18 exclusion
ReFound is designed for adults who have operated a business. AHV does not knowingly collect data from persons under the age of 18. If you are under 18, please do not complete this assessment. If AHV becomes aware that data has been collected from a person under 18, that data will be erased immediately.
