Draft — not yet legally reviewed. This policy was drafted to give users a clear, honest description of what happens with their data, and to satisfy checkout/compliance requirements for the app's payment provider. It has not been reviewed by a lawyer. Replace the bracketed placeholders below (business name, contact email) with real details, and consider having someone with relevant expertise review this before relying on it — especially the payment section below, since the app's processor (NOWPayments) is not a merchant of record, which changes who is legally responsible for what.
Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 27, 2026
This policy describes what information the Startup Idea Generator & Scorer ("the app") collects, how it's used, and who it's shared with.
What we collect
- Account information: your email address and a securely hashed version of your password (we never store or have access to your actual password).
- Profile information: whatever you choose to enter about your background, skills, target region, industry focus, capital, and risk tolerance — used only to tailor the ideas and scoring the app generates for you.
- Idea history: the ideas you generate or submit, their scores, and any investor materials or deliverables you build from them.
- Payment information: handled by NOWPayments, our crypto payment processor — we never see or store your wallet keys or payment credentials. Unlike some payment providers, NOWPayments is not a "merchant of record": we (not NOWPayments) are the legal seller for credit-pack purchases, so we retain records of what was purchased, by whom, and when, for accounting and support purposes.
How we use it
- To provide the service: generating and scoring ideas, building investor materials, tracking your credit balance.
- To send account-related emails: email verification, password reset, and purchase confirmations.
- To enforce usage limits and prevent abuse of the service.
Who we share it with
We use a small number of service providers to run the app. Each only receives what it needs to do its job:
- Anthropic — processes your profile and idea details to generate the AI responses (scores, ideas, investor materials).
- Resend — sends verification, password-reset, and transactional emails on our behalf.
- NOWPayments — processes credit-pack payments (crypto checkout). NOWPayments is not a merchant of record; we are the legal seller of record for these purchases.
- Cloudflare — hosts the app, our database, and file storage.
We do not sell your data, and we do not share it with anyone for advertising purposes.
Data retention
We keep your account data for as long as your account is active. If you'd like your account and associated data deleted, contact us at [YOUR CONTACT EMAIL] and we'll process the request.
Your rights
You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data at any time by contacting [YOUR CONTACT EMAIL]. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under local law (for example, GDPR in the EU/UK or CCPA in California) — reach out and we'll do our best to accommodate them.
Cookies
We use one cookie to keep you logged in (a session cookie). We don't use tracking or advertising cookies.
Security
Passwords are hashed (never stored in plain text), and all traffic to and from the app is encrypted (HTTPS).
Children's privacy
This app is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes in a material way, we'll update the date at the top of this page.
