Privacy Policy

Hire A Founding Engineer (“Platform,” “we,” “us”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy describes what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

1. Information We Collect

• Profile details you provide (skills, experience, company info).
• Communications and intro messages sent through the Platform.
• Usage data (logins, searches) captured for analytics and security.

2. How We Use Information

• Match engineers and founders based on profile preferences.
• Send transactional emails (intros, reminders, security notices).
• Improve the Platform’s performance, reliability, and safety.

3. Sharing

We share limited profile information with matched members when intros are sent or accepted. We do not sell your data. Vendors (hosting, email delivery) only access information required to provide their services.

4. Data Retention

We retain account data while your account is active. You can request deletion at any time. Activity logs may be preserved for security and compliance.

5. Security

We use encryption in transit, role-based access, and monitoring to safeguard data. No system is perfectly secure; notify us of any suspected vulnerabilities at security@hireafoundingengineer.com.

6. Your Choices

Update or delete your profile from account settings. Opt out of marketing emails via the unsubscribe link. For account deletion or data requests email privacy@hireafoundingengineer.com.

7. Children

The Platform is not directed to individuals under 18. We do not knowingly collect children’s data.

8. Changes

We may update this policy and will notify you via email or in-product notices. Continued use after updates means you accept the revised policy.
