Privacy Policy

Effective Date: January 13, 2026

FounderOS ("we," "our," or "us") is owned and operated by FounderOSapp. We are the data controller for the information collected through our website and SaaS application (the "Service").

1. Introduction

We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This policy informs you of how we handle your data, your privacy rights, and how the law protects you.

2. The Data We Collect

We collect data to provide and improve FounderOS. This includes:

  • Identity Data: Name, username, or similar identifier.
  • Contact Data: Email address and billing address.
  • Technical Data: IP address, browser type, time zone, and location.
  • Usage Data: Information on how you interact with our software and website.
  • Financial Data: If you subscribe to a paid plan, we collect payment information through integrated processors (e.g., Stripe).

3. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR/Global)

We only process your data when we have a legal basis. Under GDPR, we rely on:

  • Performance of a Contract: We need your data to provide the FounderOS service you signed up for.
  • Consent: For marketing emails or non-essential cookies. You can withdraw this at any time.

  • Cloud Hosting: To store your data securely (e.g., AWS/Google Cloud).
  • Payment Processors: To handle subscriptions securely.
  • Analytics: To understand user behavior (e.g., Google Analytics).
  • Integrations: If you connect FounderOS to 3rd-party apps (like Google APIs), we adhere to their "Limited Use" requirements.

5. Data Security & Retention

  • Security: We use industry-standard encryption (SSL/TLS) and restricted access controls. While we strive for absolute security, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.
  • Retention: We keep your data only as long as your account is active or as needed for legal/tax purposes (typically up to 7 years for financial records).

6. Your Rights

Depending on your location (EU, UK, California, etc.), you have the following rights:

  • Access & Portability: Request a copy of your data.
  • Correction & Erasure: Request that we fix or delete your data.
  • Withdraw Consent: Opt-out of marketing or cookies at any time.
  • Right to Lodge a Complaint: You have the right to contact your local data protection authority.

7. US Specific Disclosures (CCPA/CPRA)

  • Do Not Sell or Share: We do not sell your personal information for money. However, using certain analytics cookies may be considered "sharing." You can opt-out via your browser settings or our "Cookie Settings" banner.
  • Global Privacy Control (GPC): Our site honors GPC signals sent by your browser.

8. Children's Privacy

FounderOS is not intended for children under 16. We do not knowingly collect data from minors. If we discover we have accidentally collected such data, we will delete it immediately.
