Data Ethics & Sourcing

How Viacap builds and maintains its data.

Viacap is designed to bring greater transparency to European real estate capital markets. We take a structured, responsible approach to how data is sourced, processed, and made available.

1. Professional, market-relevant data only

Viacap focuses exclusively on professional information related to institutional real estate activity.

This includes:

• Investment firms, managers, and operating partners
• Transaction participation and deal activity
• Publicly available professional profiles and roles

We do not collect or process:

• Sensitive personal data
• Private or non-professional information

Our dataset is built for B2B use in a professional context.

2. Sourced from reputable and lawful channels

Our data is compiled from a combination of:

• Public disclosures (press releases, company websites)
• Industry publications and market reports
• Professional platforms and publicly available profiles
• Selected third-party data providers

We do not knowingly collect or use data from unlawful or inappropriate sources.

3. Structured, verified, and continuously refined

Raw data is only the starting point.

Each data point is:

• Standardised and structured
• Matched across entities and transactions
• Continuously reviewed and improved over time

Our focus is not just on aggregation, but on making data usable and meaningful.

4. Built for responsible business use

Viacap is designed to support:

• Investment research
• Market analysis
• Professional relationship building

It is not intended for:

• Mass unsolicited outreach
• Data resale or redistribution
• Consumer marketing

We expect all users to apply the same professional standards.

5. Respecting individual rights

We recognise that professional data still relates to individuals.

Any person included in the Viacap database has the right to:

• Request access to their data
• Request corrections
• Request removal from the database

We process such requests promptly and maintain a suppression system to ensure preferences are respected.
