Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026

What we collect

When you sign in with Google, we store your name, email address, and profile photo. If you register a startup, we store the details you submit (name, tagline, description, logo and website links). When you vote on a match, we record which side you voted for and the IP address the vote came from, used to prevent duplicate voting and abuse.

Why we collect it

To run your account and startup entries, display tournament results, protect voting from bots and duplicate votes (via Cloudflare Turnstile), and send transactional emails such as registration confirmations and tournament updates.

Cookies

We use a cookie to remember your language preference and a session cookie to keep you signed in. We do not use advertising or third-party tracking cookies.

Who we share data with

Google (sign-in), Resend (transactional email delivery), Cloudflare (bot protection), MongoDB Atlas (data storage), and Vercel (hosting). We do not sell your data.

Data retention

We keep your account, startup, and vote data for as long as your account exists. Contact us if you'd like your data deleted.
