Jurisdiction posture

What Exedra Gate is, in regulatory terms

Exedra Gate is a software platform: workflow, records and evidence infrastructure for private capital raising. It is not a broker, adviser, custodian, escrow provider or trading venue. It does not hold, route or settle investor money, does not charge fees contingent on any raise, does not promote specific offerings for compensation, and does not recommend, rank or match offerings to investors. Where an activity requires authorisation, that activity is not what the platform does; the platform is the record keeping and execution layer around decisions that people and licensed parties make.

Frameworks, not authorities

Exedra Gate names the legal frameworks it is designed against and never implies a licence, supervision or endorsement by any authority. The design baselines are the GDPR and the Swiss revised FADP for data protection, and the eIDAS framework for electronic signatures and timestamps. Naming a framework is a statement about design targets, not a claim of approval: no regulator has licensed, endorsed or reviewed the platform, and nothing on this site should be read as saying otherwise.

Signatures under eIDAS

Signatures on Exedra Gate are designed against the criteria for advanced electronic signatures in Article 26 of eIDAS: uniquely linked to the signatory, capable of identifying the signatory, created under the signatory's control, and linked to the signed data so that any subsequent change is detectable. Exedra Gate does not claim qualified electronic signatures, which are a distinct legal category requiring a qualified certificate and a qualified signature creation device.

Timestamps under eIDAS

The independent timestamp on an evidence pack is an RFC 3161 token. Under eIDAS it is admissible as evidence; the legal presumption of accuracy attaches to a qualified timestamp only, and Exedra Gate does not claim that presumption for the default token. A client whose obligations require qualified timestamps can raise it before relying on one: the timestamping posture is configurable, including a client-procured qualified authority.

Jurisdiction gating on offerings

Distribution rules for private offerings differ by jurisdiction, and the platform is built so a client can respect them. A client controls where each raise is visible and to which investor categories, every investor-facing offering page carries a non-dismissible notice that content is the client's and is not verified or endorsed by Exedra Gate, and expressions of interest are non-binding. The platform presents what the client published to the audience the client chose; the legal responsibility for an offering and its distribution stays with the client and their advisers.

Screening and personal data

Where screening processes information about people, such as directors and beneficial owners, that information can include special-category data, and the GDPR and comparable regimes apply to it. Screening on Exedra Gate is process-scoped and point-in-time: it records what was checked, against which sources, and what surfaced, and a human reviewer makes every decision. A screening outcome is never a statement about character or about the quality of an investment, and individuals have a path to dispute and correct a record about them.

What this page is not

This page describes the platform's posture. It is not legal advice, and it does not substitute for a client's own counsel on the rules that apply to a specific offering in a specific jurisdiction.
