Introduction OnlyFounders is committed to protecting the privacy and security of our users. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and safeguard your information when you use our platform.
Information We Collect At OnlyFounders, our goal is to facilitate meaningful connections by helping you share relevant aspects of your professional background and aspirations with potential cofounders. To enhance this experience, we collect certain information that helps represent your profile to other users, such as areas of expertise, professional interests, and goals for collaboration. Our approach is carefully designed to ensure that profile information remains professional and connection-oriented. We do not collect or monitor the content of private conversations between users; your direct communications are solely for your personal exchange.
In order to continually improve our services, we may also use this data to refine our offerings and develop future features. Additionally, our website and app may utilize cookies or similar technologies to optimize your experience, including by remembering preferences and helping us understand platform interactions.
Device and Technical Information At this time, OnlyFounders does not collect detailed device information, such as IP addresses or browser types. However, in the future, we may consider gathering such technical data to help improve security, optimize user experience, and troubleshoot any issues that arise on the platform. If this feature is introduced, we will ensure that any collected technical data is handled responsibly and transparently.
Location Data Currently, OnlyFounders does not access real-time location data from users’ devices. Instead, we ask users to manually provide the city or region they are in to help improve local matching and enhance relevant connections. In the future, we may consider collecting device-based location data to further personalize the experience and offer region-specific features. Should this feature be introduced, we will handle location data responsibly, ensuring it is used solely to benefit user experience.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies OnlyFounders uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance user experience and improve our platform. These may include session cookies, which help maintain your login across sessions, and analytics cookies, which provide insights into how users interact with our services. These technologies allow us to understand preferences, tailor user experiences, and improve OnlyFounders' functionality over time.
Your Rights and Data Management OnlyFounders values your control over your data. You have the right to delete your account at any time, upon which we will delete your data from our systems. Please note, however, that due to the nature of user interactions, certain traces—such as parts of conversations or shared content visible to other users—may remain in limited instances, where they were part of collaborative exchanges. We are committed to ensuring that any such residual data is minimal and exists solely within the context of other users' past interactions with you.
Third-Party Services OnlyFounders may work with trusted third-party services to help improve your experience on our platform. For example, we may use analytics providers, like Google Analytics, to gain insights into platform usage, which helps us refine our services. These providers have limited access to specific types of data solely for the purpose of performing their functions on our behalf and are required to handle your information responsibly. We take care to ensure that these third parties adhere to high standards of privacy and security, with access restricted to only what’s necessary to support our services.
Data Retention and Security At OnlyFounders, we prioritize the security and respectful handling of your data. When you delete your account, we make every effort to remove your personal information from our active systems promptly. However, certain data may be retained for a short period to meet legitimate operational or legal requirements. In some cases, we may retain anonymized, non-identifiable data to help us improve platform performance and analytics; this data will usually not be linked to any individual user. We take comprehensive measures to protect all retained information, ensuring it is stored securely and only accessible as necessary.
International Compliance and User Rights OnlyFounders operates globally, and we are committed to complying with international data protection standards, including the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) in the United States. For users in these regions, we ensure that you have specific rights regarding your data, including the right to access, update, delete, or request portability of your information. By using our platform and accepting this privacy policy, you acknowledge and consent to receive occasional marketing communications from OnlyFounders. You may opt out of these communications at any time through your account settings or by following the unsubscribe link provided in our emails.
Social Media and Third-Party Integrations Currently, OnlyFounders does not integrate directly with social media platforms for login or profile sharing. However, in the future, we may offer options for users to connect their accounts or share their profiles externally through social media. If introduced, any such integration will be implemented with user privacy and control in mind, ensuring that only the information you choose to share will be accessible.
Personalized Advertising OnlyFounders is continually exploring ways to enhance user experience, and in the future, we may introduce personalized advertising features to show you more relevant content and recommendations. This may involve using certain profile data, such as your professional interests, to customize the ads you see on the platform. If this feature is introduced, we will provide clear options to manage your ad preferences and control the level of personalization in your settings.
Account Deletion Users may delete their accounts at any time. Upon deletion, OnlyFounders will make every effort to remove personal data from its active systems promptly.
Residual data may remain in shared or collaborative interactions for operational consistency, but this will be minimal and non-identifiable.
Automated Decision-Making and AI At OnlyFounders, our focus is on enhancing user experience and improving cofounder connections. While our platform currently uses automated algorithms solely for matching purposes, we may explore introducing AI-driven features in the future to refine recommendations and personalize interactions. Any AI or machine learning processes will be implemented with transparency, ensuring that users understand how these systems impact their experience.
Data Access and Portability OnlyFounders values user privacy and handles all profile and matching data with care. At this time, we do not provide options for users to download or transfer their data, as this information is managed solely within our platform. We maintain strict control over this data to ensure privacy and integrity, and it remains part of the OnlyFounders ecosystem to optimize your experience securely.
International Data Transfers OnlyFounders currently operates primarily within the UK and does not routinely transfer user data across regions. However, as we expand and potentially collaborate with international partners, data transfers may be necessary. If this occurs, we will implement appropriate safeguards to ensure that any data shared with third parties complies with relevant data protection regulations, keeping your privacy and security as our top priorities.
