◆ TL;DR
We collect the minimum to operate the service. No tracking pixels from ad networks. No selling your data. You can delete everything we have on you with one click.
◆ WHAT WE COLLECT
- Account data — via GitHub OAuth: your GitHub ID, username, email (primary), avatar URL. Nothing else.
- Usage data — which endpoints you hit, when, and status codes. Used for rate limiting and debugging. We don't log the request bodies or responses.
- Subscriber email — if you opt into the newsletter, we store your email + signup source. We use Brevo as a sub-processor for delivery.
- Audit log — signups, key rotations, webhook creates. IP is stored for abuse prevention (retained 90 days).
- Analytics — we use PostHog for aggregate product usage. Self-hosted, no cross-site tracking, no third-party cookies.
◆ DATA WE DON'T COLLECT
- ▸ Passwords (we use GitHub OAuth, so we never see one)
- ▸ Payment info (Stripe handles that when Pro ships — we only store their customer ID)
- ▸ Device fingerprints, cross-site tracking, ad-network data
◆ STARTUP DATA WE PUBLISH
The startups and contacts in our API are aggregated from publicly-available sources — company websites, funding announcements, LinkedIn public profiles. We comply with takedown requests: if you're listed and want to be removed, email privacy@fundedapi.com and we'll remove you within 7 days.
◆ YOUR RIGHTS (GDPR & CCPA)
- ▸ Access / Portability (Art. 15, 20) — download every row we store about you as a single JSON file from the dashboard Danger Zone. Instant, self-service.
- ▸ Deletion (Art. 17) — delete your account from the dashboard. Everything is wiped within 30 days. Audit rows are anonymized, not deleted (90-day abuse retention).
- ▸ Correction (Art. 16) — profile data comes from GitHub; update it there and re-login. Contact rows (non-account): email hello@fundedapi.com.
- ▸ Unsubscribe — every email has a 1-click unsubscribe link.
◆ COOKIES
One session cookie (__Host-fundedapi_session) to keep you logged in. HttpOnly, Secure, SameSite=Lax. That's it. No tracking cookies.
◆ SUB-PROCESSORS
- ▸ Railway — hosting + Postgres
- ▸ GitHub — OAuth + code
- ▸ Brevo — transactional email + newsletter
- ▸ PostHog — product analytics
- ▸ Apify — web scraping infrastructure
◆ RETENTION
- ▸ Account data: until you delete your account
- ▸ API usage logs: 30 days rolling
- ▸ Audit logs: 90 days rolling
- ▸ Newsletter emails: until you unsubscribe
