Privacy Policy

Buildojo works with young founders, so we collect as little as we can and say plainly what we do with it. This policy covers buildojo.ai, applications to the program, and the tools participants use during the cohort.

What we collect

• Application details: the founder’s name, date of birth, contact details, city and country, parent or guardian name and contact details, and the answers to the application questions.
• Account details: email address and, if you sign in with Google, the name and email Google shares with us.
• Program activity: attendance, submissions, mentor notes and progress, for participants in a cohort.
• Payments: handled by Stripe. We see the payment status and the last four digits of a card, never the full number.
• Site analytics: we use PostHog to understand which pages are read and where visitors get stuck. It does not sell data.
• Newsletter: your email and whether you told us you are a parent or a young founder.

Why we collect it

To review applications, run the program, keep parents informed, bill for the belts a founder takes, improve the site, and send the newsletter to people who asked for it. We do not sell personal information and we do not show ads.

Who else sees it

Mentors see what they need to coach their teams. Our service providers (Supabase for the database and sign-in, Stripe for payments, Resend for email, PostHog for analytics, Google for calendar and sign-in, Vercel for hosting) process data on our behalf under their own agreements. We share information with others only when the law requires it.

Children’s information

Every applicant is 13 to 17. We require a parent or guardian on every application, send them program updates, and act on their requests to see, correct or delete their child’s information.

Keeping and deleting

We keep application and program records for as long as a founder is in the program and for a reasonable period afterwards so we can answer questions and provide references. Ask us to delete your information at any time; we will do so unless we have to keep it by law. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter with one click in any issue.

Security

Data is stored with providers that encrypt it in transit and at rest, access is limited to the people who need it, and sign-in uses Supabase authentication. No system is perfect; if something goes wrong that affects you, we will tell you.

Your choices and contact

To see, correct or delete your information, or to ask anything about this policy, write to nour@buildojo.ai. We will update this page when our practices change; the date at the top tells you when.
