Privacy Policy for FounderJourneys

Effective Date: October 16, 2025 · Updated: October 29, 2026

FounderJourneys is a product of Sansrealm LLC (“we,” “our,” or “us”), which is responsible for your personal information under this policy. We respect your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application FounderJourneys (the “App”) and related website (the “Site”).

1. Information We Collect

a. Personal Information

• Name, email address, or contact information you provide when creating an account or submitting forms.
• Profile information such as bio, founder details, company name, or any media (e.g., profile video or “asks”) you upload.

b. Usage Information

• Device information (model, OS version, unique identifiers).
• App usage data such as features accessed, time spent, crash logs, and performance metrics.

c. Automatically Collected Data

• Aggregate analytics (page views, device type) from Vercel Analytics, and anonymous card interaction events (views, plays, connects) that are not tied to your identity.
• IP address, browser type, referring/exit pages when using the website.

d. Optional Information

Voluntary data shared through interviews, messages, or community interactions, including messages and reports you send through a Journey Card (your name, email address, your message and the card it concerns). Messages are delivered to the card’s owner; reports are seen only by FounderJourneys.

2. How We Use Your Information

• Provide and improve app functionality and user experience.
• Manage profiles, features, and communications.
• Send updates, announcements, or support responses.
• Analyze usage trends and enhance performance.
• Comply with legal obligations and App Store policies.

3. Sharing of Information

We do not sell or rent your personal data. We may share limited data:

• With service providers (hosting, analytics, storage, communications).
• Our current providers: Supabase (database and file storage), Cloudflare (video hosting and processing), Vercel (hosting and analytics), Resend (email delivery) and Microsoft 365 (our mailboxes). Each processes data only to provide its service to us.
• To comply with laws or protect rights.
• In business transfers, such as mergers or acquisitions.

4. Data Retention

• Your card, photo and videos: until you delete them, or you ask us to delete your account.
• Messages and leads sent through a card, and reports about a card: 12 months, unless the law requires us to keep them longer.
• Unconfirmed reports: deleted after 24 hours.
• Anonymous analytics: kept indefinitely; it cannot identify you.

You may request deletion at any time by contacting us.

5. Data Security

We use encryption and secure protocols to protect data, though no system is 100% secure.

6. Cookies

The app sets one essential cookie to keep you signed in. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.

7. Public Cards

A Journey Card is public: anyone with its link can view the name, photo, videos, company, links and asks on it. Messaging apps and social networks may keep a preview of a card you share. Your email address is never shown on a card.

8. Your Rights

You may access, correct, or delete your data and withdraw consent by emailing support@founderjourneys.com. We respond within 30 days.

If you are in the EU, EEA or UK, you also have the right to receive a copy of your data in a portable format, to object to or restrict processing, and to complain to your local data protection authority. Our legal basis for processing is the contract with you (your account and card) and our legitimate interest in running and protecting the service.

If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information we collect and how we use it, to request its deletion, and not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights. We do not sell or share personal information for advertising.

9. Children’s Privacy

FounderJourneys is for users 18 years or older. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If you believe a person under 18 has created a card or sent us data, email support@founderjourneys.com and we will remove it.

10. Third-Party Services

Our App may integrate with third-party platforms. Their privacy policies apply independently.

11. International Transfers

Your information may be processed outside your home country. By using the App, you consent to such transfers.

12. Policy Updates

We may revise this policy occasionally. Updates will be posted at founderjourneys.com/privacy.html.
