Privacy Policy

Information we receive

• Account details: Google account email, name, profile image, and a Clerk account identifier when you sign in.
• Profile and product details: usernames, profile information, startup name, pitch, links, media, market, tags, and comments you provide.
• Waitlist details: email address and any optional phone, note, or referral details a visitor submits for a startup. The startup founder can access those leads.
• Quest reports: tester name, written feedback, ratings, proof links, and device details included with a report.
• Promotion records: payment provider, amount, reference and transaction identifiers, and payment status. eSewa or Khalti handles the checkout; WeFounders does not ask you to enter payment credentials into its own forms.

How we use information

We use it to operate accounts, publish approved launches, deliver waitlist leads to the relevant founder, administer testing quests and rewards, process and verify promotions, protect the service, and respond to support requests.

What is public

Approved startup pages, their submitted product materials, and selected public profile details such as display name, username, avatar, and community score may be visible to visitors. Waitlist email addresses and phone numbers are not shown on public startup pages. Do not include secrets or sensitive personal information in a public pitch, comment, or quest report.

Service providers and storage

We use Clerk for sign-in, Neon for application data, and eSewa or Khalti when you choose a paid promotion. If Google Analytics is configured for this deployment, its script loads only after you allow optional analytics in Cookie settings. We do not load that analytics script when it is unconfigured or declined.

Cookies and local storage

Sign-in requires essential Clerk session cookies, which are secure and HTTP-only. When optional analytics is enabled, your allow or reject choice is stored in this browser so we can honor it on later visits. You can change that choice using Cookie settings in the footer.

Retention and your choices

We keep account and product information while it is needed to operate the service, meet payment and security obligations, or resolve disputes. Founders can export their waitlist leads from their startup page. To request access, correction, or deletion of account information, email us from the address on the account. Some public startup information or payment records may need to remain available for service, safety, or accounting reasons.

Children

WeFounders is intended for founders and testers old enough to use the service under the laws that apply to them. Do not submit another person's information without permission.
