Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how FounderPitch ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you use our website and pitch deck review services (the "Service").

By submitting your deck or using this website, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

1. Information We Collect

Information you provide directly:

• Your name and email address

• Your pitch deck file (PDF, PPT, Keynote, or similar format)

• Context you share about your startup (stage, ask, target investors, traction, and related details)

• Any messages you send us

Payment information:

• When you make a payment, it is processed through PayPal. We do not collect or store your full payment card or bank account details ourselves.

• We may receive limited transaction information from PayPal, such as confirmation of payment, amount, and transaction ID, to verify your order and provide the Service.

Automatically collected information:

• Basic technical data such as browser type, device type, and general usage data collected through standard website analytics, if enabled.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Review your pitch deck and provide feedback

• Communicate with you about your submission or order

• Process payments through PayPal

• Improve our review process and website

• Respond to questions or support requests

We do not use your deck or startup information for any purpose beyond providing you the review you requested, except as described below.

3. Confidentiality of Your Deck

Your pitch deck and any information you share about your startup are treated as confidential. We do not:

• Share your deck with third parties

• Use your deck's content, data, or business information for our own ventures

• Publish or reference your materials publicly without your written permission

Internally, deck review may involve the use of proprietary tools or models to help organize and speed up parts of the process, but all feedback is reviewed, verified, and finalized personally before being sent to you.

4. Payment Processing

All payments for our Service are processed through PayPal. When you make a payment:

• You are subject to PayPal's own privacy policy and terms of service, in addition to this one.

• We only receive confirmation that payment was made, not your full financial account details.

• We are not responsible for how PayPal collects, stores, or processes your payment information.

5. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information or your startup's information to third parties.

We may share limited information only when:

• Required by law or legal process

• Necessary to protect our rights, safety, or property

• You give us explicit permission to do so

6. Data Retention

We retain your deck and related information only as long as necessary to provide the Service and respond to any follow-up questions. If you would like your deck or information deleted after your review is complete, you can request this at any time by contacting us.

7. Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect the information you share with us, including limiting access to your deck and startup information. However, no method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Request access to the information we hold about you

• Request correction or deletion of your information

• Withdraw consent for us to use your information, where applicable

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the information below.

9. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to third-party sites, such as PayPal. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those external sites.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of the Service after changes are posted means you accept the updated policy.
