Privacy Policy

Last updated July 14, 2026

Foundryard is a network where founders choose to share their work in public. This policy explains what we collect, why, and the controls you have. The short version: you decide what's visible and we never sell your data.

What we collect

  • Account basics — when you sign in with Google or GitHub, we receive your name, email address, and avatar from that provider. We never see or store a password.
  • Profile content — everything you add yourself: headline, bio, location, skills, projects, links, and your profile photo. This content exists to be shown to others.
  • Usage counters — profile view counts and link click counts, stored as plain totals with no visitor identity attached.

What we use it for

  • Rendering your public profile and the discovery feed.
  • Connection requests and your network.
  • Keeping the service working, safe, and free of fake accounts.

We do not sell personal data, run third-party ad trackers, or share your data with advertisers.

Your visibility controls

  • Profile content you publish (bio, projects, links) is public by design — it's your page.
  • Anything you'd rather not share, simply don't add — nothing beyond your name and username is required.

Cookies

We use cookies for one thing: keeping you signed in (and, briefly, remembering a username you claimed before signing up). No cross-site tracking cookies.

Deleting your account

You can delete your account yourself, anytime, from Settings → Danger zone. You'll be asked to confirm by typing your username; if you have an active Premium subscription, you'll need to cancel it first (Settings → Manage billing) so you aren't charged again.

Deletion is immediate and permanent. It removes:

  • Your profile, sign-in identity, and username (which becomes available to others).
  • All projects, links, and uploaded images (profile photo, project logos).
  • Your connections and pending requests.

One thing we can't delete: records Stripe keeps for payment processing (invoices, receipts) are retained by Stripe as required by financial regulations.

Your rights

Wherever you are — and specifically under GDPR if you're in the EU — you can request a copy of your data or correct it. Email contact@foundryard.dev and we'll handle it within 30 days. Deletion doesn't require an email — it's self-serve, as above.
