Privacy Policy

• We store your email, the public profile you write, and what you do on the site (products, votes, comments).
• Visit counts use a one-way hash of the IP address, never the raw address.
• One essential cookie keeps you signed in. No advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
• We never sell personal data. We share it only with the providers that run the service.
• Delete your account from Settings and everything is removed.

LaunchLoom decides how your data is used and is the controller for the purposes of data-protection law. Contact details are in the last section.

• Account: email address; name and avatar from Google or GitHub if you sign in with them.

• Products and activity: listings, uploaded images, upvotes, comments, notifications and the weeks you launch in.
• Visit tracking: for each click on “Visit site”: time, referring page, country, browser type and a hashed IP.
• Technical logs: standard request logs kept briefly by our hosting provider for security and debugging.

• To run the service: sign you in, publish your listings, rank the board, count visits, send notifications.
• To keep rankings honest: spot duplicate accounts and automated votes or visits.
• To contact you about your launches and account. Marketing emails, if we ever send them, will be opt-in.

• Payment provider: processes paid features and stores card details; we only receive a receipt.
• Other members see the public parts of your profile when you launch, vote or comment.

Our providers store data in Asia-Pacific and the United States under their standard contractual protections. By using LaunchLoom you understand your data may be processed outside your country.

• Account and profile data: until you delete your account.
• Products, comments and votes: until you delete them or your account.
• Visit records: kept in aggregate for maker analytics; hashed IPs are only used to de-duplicate.
• Backups: up to 30 days after deletion. Receipts: as long as tax law requires.

You can see and edit your data in Settings, ask us for a copy, and delete your account yourself. Depending on where you live you may also have rights to restrict or object to processing and to complain to a regulator. Email us and we will respond within 30 days.

One essential session cookie and a browser setting for your theme. Details in the Cookie Policy.

Data is encrypted in transit and at rest by our providers. Database access is restricted with row-level permissions so members can only read what they are allowed to. We review access regularly and never store passwords.

LaunchLoom is not for people under 16. If you believe a child has created an account, tell us and we will delete it.

We do not track you across other sites, so there is nothing for these signals to switch off. We honour them anyway by never adding tracking that would need them.

We update the dates above and announce material changes on the site before they take effect.
