Section 01·Data Collection
1. Information We Collect
We operate a transparent, publicly audit-able leaderboard. We collect only the essential founder and product metrics required to display rankings and track referral clicks.
Founder Profile Data
Public X/Twitter handle, profile avatar URL, founder display name, and optional contact email address.
Product Listing Details
Product name, destination URL, logo asset, tagline description, selected category, and active rank placement.
To guarantee that traffic delivered to listed products represents genuine human interest, we analyze visitor dwell time and session signals without intrusive tracking cookies.
3-Second Dwell Verification
Clicks are only counted as verified referrals once a visitor remains on your product page for at least three seconds.
Anonymous Visitor Hashes
We generate temporary, non-reversible cryptographic hashes from visitor IP and browser headers to detect click farming and duplicate bot requests.
Zero Data Monetization
We never sell, rent, or trade visitor browsing behavior, IP logs, or click metadata to third-party data brokers or ad networks.
Section 03·Payment Security
3. Payment Processing & Security
All financial transactions on LaunchRank — including rank bids, defend shields, and guaranteed impression packages — are processed via bank-grade payment infrastructure.
Handled by Dodo Payments
All payment processing is handled directly by Dodo Payments, a PCI-DSS Level 1 compliant merchant of record.
Zero Credit Card Storage
LaunchRank servers never see, handle, or store full credit card numbers, CVVs, or sensitive bank account credentials.
Audit & Invoice Records
We maintain transaction receipts and payment IDs solely for accounting, tax compliance, and automated delivery refunds.
Section 04·Communications
4. Communications & Notifications
We send targeted transactional alerts so you can respond quickly when your leaderboard rank is challenged or stolen.
Dethrone & Counter-Bid Alerts
Immediate notification via email or dashboard alert when another founder outbids your rank or when Auto-Defend triggers.
You can customize or pause email notifications at any time directly inside your Founder Account settings.
Section 05·Cookies & Storage
5. Cookies & Local Browser Storage
LaunchRank uses minimal, strictly necessary cookies and local storage tokens to keep you logged in and preserve your UI preferences.
Essential Session Cookies
Secure authentication tokens generated via Supabase to keep your founder account authenticated across page reloads.
Local Storage State
We store local state for dismissible banners, read notifications, and filter selections inside your browser.
No Third-Party Ad Cookies
We do NOT embed third-party advertising cookies, social tracking pixels, or cross-site fingerprinting scripts.
Section 06·Your Rights
6. Founder Data Rights (GDPR & CCPA)
Regardless of your geographic location, we respect your full rights over your personal and product data.
Right to Access & Export
Request a full, machine-readable export of all your founder profile records, product listings, and historical payment logs.
Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten)
Request permanent deletion of your founder account and active listings. Historical public blockchain/ledger bid logs remain anonymized.
Non-Discrimination Guarantee
We will never restrict your access to leaderboard bidding or alter bid rates if you exercise your legal privacy rights.

Frequently Asked Privacy Questions
Everything founders ask about click tracking, data retention, and security.
No. Visitor IP addresses are processed in volatile memory only to generate a temporary one-way hash for bot filtering and duplicate click prevention. Raw IP addresses are discarded after hash generation and are never stored in our persistent database.
