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.
