FounderPact
Privacy policy
Last updated:
This policy covers founderpact.ai and the web software at app.founderpact.ai. Blackchain Ops LLC, doing business as FounderPact, operates the service.
What we collect
- Account information. Your name, email address, sign-in credentials, and the description of what you are building that you provide when applying for access.
- Invitation requests. Your name, email, invited partners' email addresses, and the message you submit on the marketing site.
- Pact content. Project details, participant names, interview text and transcripts, uploaded interview text, questionnaire answers, priorities, notes, feedback, reports, proposed terms, and pact documents. We also store initials, adopted signing names, consent records, and signing timestamps.
- Voice interactions. If you choose voice features, microphone audio and conversation text are processed to support your conversation with Solomon. Some features let you save a voice note about your priorities. Video mode presents Solomon as an AI avatar.
- Service records. Interview session identifiers and status, progress, timestamps, email delivery records, and audit events support the service.
- Payments. Stripe collects the information needed to process a purchase and screen for fraud. FounderPact never sees full card numbers.
How we use information
We use information to create and secure accounts, handle access requests, invite partners, conduct interviews, prepare questionnaires and reports, propose terms, record decisions and signatures, and send service emails. The AI providers below process relevant conversation text, answers, or notes to perform these tasks. Shared reports and pact documents use information participants supply.
Where information is stored and who processes it
- Supabase: account sign-in, the application database, and file storage. Application records include participant details, answers, transcripts, reports, pact documents, and signing records. Saved priority voice notes use a private storage bucket.
- ElevenLabs: voice conversations with Solomon, speech, and conversation transcripts.
- Anam: Solomon's video avatar and live conversation sessions, with conversation context such as founder names, partner names, and pact details.
- OpenAI: text processing, including extracting information from interview text and selecting proposed terms using participant preferences.
- TypeSafe: interpreting participant notes during rounds that settle open terms.
- SendGrid: invitation and other service emails, including recipient addresses and email content.
- Netlify: hosting the web application and running server functions, including scheduled cleanup jobs.
- Cloudflare: hosting the marketing site and its server functions. Cloudflare KV stores invitation requests. Earlier invitation-based workflows also store uploaded position files and report content there.
- Web3Forms: delivering marketing-site invitation requests, including your name, email, partner email addresses, and message.
- Stripe: payments through Stripe Managed Payments. Stripe is merchant of record and handles payment processing, sales tax and VAT, and fraud screening.
The providers involved depend on the features you use. Their handling of information is also subject to their own terms and privacy policies.
Private answers and shared results
In the app, participants can directly read only their own saved questionnaire responses. FounderPact processes those responses on the server to generate shared results. Alignment Reports, proposed terms, and pact documents can disclose positions and information derived from your answers to other participants. Do not treat information used in shared results as a secret from your partners.
Security
Live interview transcripts and imported interview source text and drafts are encrypted by the application before storage. Current questionnaire answers are stored as structured database values. We do not claim that every type of content has the same application-level encryption. Access controls restrict access to participant records and private voice-note storage.
Retention
Some source material has specific expiry settings:
- Uploaded interview source text: the default expiry is 30 days. It can be configured from 1 to 90 days. A daily cleanup job clears expired raw source text. The extracted draft and other derived records are separate and can remain.
- Saved priority voice notes: the default expiry is 7 days. It can be configured from 1 to 90 days. A daily cleanup job removes expired recordings and clears their references. Text notes and derived records can remain.
- Live interview transcripts: the default expiry setting is 30 days, configurable up to 90 days. This setting alone does not guarantee deletion at that time.
These periods apply to the source material named above, not to all account or pact records. Accounts, questionnaire answers, reports, signed pacts, and marketing-site invitation requests do not have a fixed automatic deletion schedule in the application. Contact us with a deletion request. These application expiry settings do not establish how long each external provider retains its own records.
Cookies and browser storage
The app uses cookies for sign-in sessions. A separate first-name cookie lets the marketing site show your name and a link into the app when you are signed in. Browser storage also remembers interface state.
Your choices and requests
You can use typed interactions instead of voice. Give us only information you have permission to share. Email [email protected] to ask about access, correction, or deletion of your information, or to raise a privacy concern. We may need to verify that a request comes from the account holder. Applicable law may give you additional rights.
FounderPact is for people aged 18 or older.
