Privacy Policy

Plain-language draft for v1. Counsel to review before launch.

What we collect

Your email and sign-in identity (GitHub, Google or magic link); what you put on your profile; your posts, RSVPs, upvotes and messages; public data you connect (GitHub repos, Hugging Face models); billing details held by Stripe, never by us; product analytics (pages viewed, features used) tied to your account.

How we use it

To run the community: show your profile, deliver notifications and digests, verify ARR bands, approve chat-group joins, compute the leaderboard, and improve the product. We do not sell personal data. Sponsors see aggregate numbers, never member lists.

Pre-built profiles

For builders who have not joined, we show only information already public on GitHub or Hugging Face, link to its source, and remove it on request or after 180 days. Invite emails go only to addresses the person made public, at most twice.

Your controls

Visibility (public or members-only), map opt-out, email preferences, data export and account deletion are in Settings. Deleting your account removes your profile and posts within 30 days; backups purge within 90.

Processors

Supabase (database, auth), Stripe (billing), Vercel (hosting), Resend (email), PostHog (analytics), Zoom (calls), Telegram (chat). Each is bound by a data-processing agreement.
