Privacy Policy

Operator and privacy contact

Amos Kipkorir in Kenya operates Launchfarm at www.launchfarm.store and is responsible for its handling of personal information. Send privacy questions and requests to hello@launchfarm.store.

Information we collect

Account information includes your email address, account identifier and the profile information you provide. If you sign in with Google, our authentication service receives the account details Google shares for sign-in, such as your email, name and profile image. Password authentication is handled by Supabase; Launchfarm does not expose your password to product founders.

We store product submissions, uploaded or imported logos and screenshots, website URLs, draft distribution copy, launch schedules, votes, reminder preferences and notifications. We also store moderation decisions, reports, account restriction records and administrative audit history. Support messages contain the information you choose to send us.

Product traffic analytics

For published products, we record product-page views and outbound website clicks, timestamps, referring hostnames and supplied campaign labels. We derive a daily visitor key using an HMAC of the date, IP address and browser user agent. The key is pseudonymous, not a promise of anonymity. Raw IP addresses and user-agent strings are not stored in Launchfarm’s analytics event table; infrastructure providers may process them in operational logs.

Known bots and requests expressing Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control are excluded from these analytics events. Product owners can view and export traffic information for their own products, including source and campaign information and pseudonymous visitor keys. These events do not identify purchases or prove that a visitor is a unique person.

How and why we use information

We use information to authenticate accounts, provide founder tools, review and publish submissions, schedule launches, deliver in-app reminders, measure product traffic, answer support requests, prevent misuse and investigate disputes. Processing supports the service you request, our legitimate interests in maintaining a secure discovery platform and any applicable legal obligations. Where consent is required, we will request it and provide a way to withdraw it.

Public product pages and maker portfolios can be viewed without an account and may be indexed by search engines. Do not include confidential information in content intended for publication. Your email is not displayed on your public maker profile unless you put it in public content yourself.

Service providers and sharing

Supabase provides authentication, database and media storage. Vercel hosts the application. Google provides Google sign-in and Gemini text generation. When you request a distribution kit, selected product details are sent to Gemini to create the draft. When you request a website import, our server fetches the supplied public website and its assets. Do not send sensitive personal information through these tools.

Application email delivery is not currently enabled. If enabled, our configured email provider, Resend, will process recipient addresses and transactional email content. Paid checkout is not currently enabled and Launchfarm does not collect payment-card information. Any future payment provider and related data processing will be disclosed before checkout is enabled.

Authorized staff can access records needed for support, moderation and administration. We may disclose information where legally required or to investigate abuse and protect users. We do not sell personal information. Providers may process information outside Kenya, subject to their applicable terms and safeguards.

Cookies, storage and security

Authentication uses cookies to maintain your session. A browser storage preference remembers your selected color theme. Launchfarm’s product analytics are first-party server records rather than advertising tracking cookies. We use HTTPS and database access controls, but no service can guarantee absolute security.

Retention and your choices

Account and product records are retained while needed to provide the service. Launchfarm does not currently run an automatic time-based purge of analytics or moderation records. Contact us to request access, correction, export, deletion, account closure or an explanation of retention. We handle these requests manually after verifying account ownership. Some records may need to be retained to meet legal obligations, resolve disputes or prevent abuse; we will explain relevant limits when responding. Backups and provider logs may persist under the providers’ retention processes after active records are removed.

You can edit your profile and editable product drafts in the dashboard, remove your launch reminders and stop using the service. Where applicable law provides rights to object, restrict processing, withdraw consent or complain to a data protection authority, those rights remain available. This policy will be updated when our processing changes.
