Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how IndieStore collects, uses, stores, and protects information when you browse the platform, contact us, submit a claim for a startup, or request a correction to an existing listing.

Most product information shown on IndieStore is gathered from public sources rather than from private user accounts. That may include public founder profiles, launch pages, product websites, and public social content where founders share their tools or invite discovery traffic.

When you interact with IndieStore directly, we may collect information that you choose to provide, such as your name, email address, company name, website, proof of ownership, and any details you include in a support or correction request. We may also collect limited technical data such as browser type, device information, referral source, and usage events needed to improve performance and detect abuse.

We use this information to operate the platform, organize product listings, review appeals, verify ownership claims, respond to founder requests, improve search and categorization quality, and understand which parts of the site are useful to visitors.

If a founder claims a startup profile in the future, we may request additional verification materials before allowing updates to sensitive listing fields. This helps reduce impersonation, inaccurate edits, and unauthorized control over public product pages.

We do not sell personal information as part of the normal operation of IndieStore. We may work with infrastructure, analytics, hosting, email, or payment providers that process limited data on our behalf, but only to support the service and related operations.
