Validify Privacy Policy

At Validify, we provide an AI-driven service to validate startup ideas efficiently and effectively. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your data when you purchase and use our $149 startup validation service. By using Validify, you agree to the practices described below. For questions or concerns, please contact us at validifybusiness@gmail.com.

1. Information We Collect

When you purchase our $149 validation service, we collect specific information to deliver the promised results. After payment, you will receive an email with a link to a form divided into three sections. The data we collect includes:

Idea Basics:

• Industry (e.g., SaaS, e-commerce)
• Problem Statement
• Product Description
• Target Customers

Business Model:

• Business Model Type (e.g., subscription, one-time sale)
• Revenue Model Details
• Pricing Strategy
• Customer Acquisition Strategy
• Unit Economics
• Unique Value Proposition

Team & Traction:

• Team Background
• Current Traction (e.g., users, sales)
• Funding Needs (if applicable)
• Competitive Advantage
• Timeline & Milestones
• Additional Information (optional)

Contact Information: Your email address (provided via Stripe payment) to deliver the form link and final report. Your name is optional.

Usage Data: Analytics from your AI-generated landing page and ad campaigns, including clicks, sign-ups, and payment intent, used solely to assess demand for your idea.

We limit collection to what is necessary to provide the service and do not request extraneous personal details.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the data you provide for the following purposes:

Service Delivery: To generate your no-code landing page, run targeted ad campaigns via Meta and Google integrations, analyze demand, and produce a data-driven "Pivot or Proceed" report within 7 days.

Communication: To send you the form link post-payment and deliver your validation report. We do not send promotional emails unless you opt in separately.

Service Improvement: Aggregated, anonymized data may be used to enhance Validify's functionality. Your specific idea and personal details remain confidential and are not repurposed.

3. Information Sharing

We share your data only as necessary to fulfill our service:

Internal Use: Access is restricted to Validify personnel directly involved in processing your validation (e.g., developers, analysts).

Third-Party Providers:

• Stripe processes payments and receives your email and transaction details.
• Meta and Google manage ad campaigns and receive campaign performance data (not your form responses).
• Secure hosting providers store your data with encryption.

Legal Obligations: We may disclose data if required by law, such as in response to a court order, but only to the extent necessary and with efforts to protect your privacy.

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with unrelated third parties for marketing purposes.

4. Data Security

We implement robust measures to protect your information:

Encryption: Data is encrypted during transmission and storage using industry-standard protocols.

Access Controls: Only authorized personnel with a legitimate need can access your data, protected by strict authentication measures.

Retention: We retain your personal data for 30 days after delivering your report to address potential inquiries. After this period, it is securely deleted, though anonymized, aggregated data may be retained for analytical purposes.

5. Your Rights

You have control over your information:

Access: Request a copy of the data we hold about you by contacting us.

Correction: Update your form responses by notifying us within 24 hours of submission.

Deletion: Request removal of your personal data after service completion, and we will delete it (excluding payment records retained by Stripe).

Objection: Opt out of any future communications beyond service delivery.

To exercise these rights, email us at validifybusiness@gmail.com. We will respond within 30 days.

6. Cookies and Tracking

Our service uses cookies and analytics tools on your landing page and ad campaigns to measure demand (e.g., clicks, sign-ups). This data is tied to your validation project and not used to track you elsewhere online. You may adjust browser settings to manage cookies, though this may impact functionality.

7. Data Location

Your information is stored on secure servers, likely in the United States (e.g., via AWS or equivalent). For users in regions like the European Union or California, we adhere to applicable regulations such as GDPR and CCPA, ensuring your rights are upheld regardless of location.

8. Updates to This Policy

We may revise this Privacy Policy as Validify evolves or legal requirements change. Updates will be posted at validify.business/privacy-policy, and significant changes will be communicated to active users via email.

9. Contact Information

For inquiries, requests, or feedback regarding your privacy, please reach out to:

Email: validifybusiness@gmail.com

Response Time: We aim to reply within 48 hours.

10. Commitment to Privacy

Validify exists to empower entrepreneurs with clarity, not to exploit your trust. We handle your data with care, transparency, and a focus on delivering value. Thank you for choosing us to validate your startup journey.
