Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains what information FounderFi (“we,” “us,” or “the service”) collects, how we use and store it, and the choices you have. We try to keep this short and honest.

What data we store

FounderFi stores the financial information that you choose to enter or import, such as:

• Accounts, balances, transactions, and categories
• Budgets, goals, savings vaults, bills, and investment holdings
• Account details needed to sign you in, such as your email address

We never see or store your bank login credentials. Manual entry never requires connecting a bank at all.

Connecting your bank accounts (Plaid)

Bank connection is an optional, opt-in feature. When you choose to connect an account, we use Plaid Inc. to securely link to your financial institution. You enter your bank credentials directly with Plaid — never with us — and Plaid returns transaction and balance data on your behalf. We store an access token for your connection on our server (never readable by your browser or app) and the resulting accounts and transactions in your account.

By connecting an account you also agree to Plaid's handling of your data as described in the Plaid End User Privacy Policy. You can disconnect an institution at any time, which stops further syncing.

Where your data is stored

Your data is stored on Supabase, our backend and database provider. Every row is protected by Row-Level Security so that it is scoped to your account — you can only ever read or write your own data. The same secure backend powers both the FounderFi website and the FounderFi mobile app.

How we use your data

We use your data only to provide the service to you: to display your finances, calculate insights such as net worth and budgets, and sync across your devices.

If you use AI features (the coach or receipt scanning), the relevant information is sent to our AI processors — DeepSeek and/or Anthropic for the coach and Google Gemini for receipt scanning — solely to generate your result. We do not use your financial data to train AI models.

We do not sell your data

We do not sell your personal or financial data, and we do not share it with advertisers. We use service providers (such as our hosting and database provider) strictly to operate the service.

Your control and deletion

Your data belongs to you. You can edit or delete individual records at any time from within the app, and you can request deletion of your account and associated data. When you delete your account, we remove your data from our active systems.

Security

We protect your data with Row-Level Security, secure session cookies, and public-key-only access from the browser. We never expose service-role secrets to client code. We aim to be honest about our security posture rather than overstate it.

Children

FounderFi is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the product evolves. When we make material changes, we will update the “last updated” date above and, where appropriate, notify you.
