Privacy Policy - Website

How we collect, use and protect personal data on foundersi.pl

Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how Foundersi (“we”, “us”) collects, uses, shares and protects your personal data when you visit the website foundersi.pl (the “Website”). It covers the Website only - including the waitlist form, blog, contact channels and cookies. It fulfils the information obligation under Articles 13 and 14 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR).

The Foundersi mobile application has a separate notice: Privacy Policy - App.

In short: on the Website we collect what you type into forms, technical data needed to run the site, and - only if you agree in the cookie banner - analytics. We do not sell your data and we do not use it for advertising networks.

Last updated: 10 September 2026

Data controller

The controller of your personal data is:

  • Name: Foundersi Sp. z o.o. (in the process of being formed), Poland
  • Registered address: Poland
  • Tax ID (NIP) and KRS: pending registration - contact: kontakt@foundersi.pl
  • Privacy contact: kontakt@foundersi.pl

Information we collect

Information you provide

We collect personal data that you voluntarily give us on the Website, including:

  • First name and last name (waitlist / contact)
  • Email address
  • Phone number (waitlist)
  • Preferred mobile platform (iOS or Android) on the waitlist form
  • The content of messages you send to kontakt@foundersi.pl

Technical information

We automatically collect certain technical information when you visit the Website:

  • IP address and approximate location derived from it
  • Browser type and version
  • Device information and operating system
  • Cookies and similar technologies (including local storage) as described below

Voluntary provision of data

Providing personal data is voluntary, but where it is needed to handle your waitlist signup or a message you send us, it is a contractual or pre-contractual requirement. If you do not provide that data, we cannot complete the relevant request. Analytics cookies are never mandatory.

Purposes and legal bases of processing

We process your personal data for the following purposes and on the following legal bases (Article 6(1) GDPR):

  • Contact and answering enquiries - Article 6(1)(b) GDPR (pre-contractual steps) or (f) (our legitimate interest in conducting correspondence).
  • Running the Website, including the waitlist for the mobile app - Article 6(1)(b) GDPR (performance of a contract / steps prior to a contract).
  • Sending a newsletter or similar marketing about Foundersi, if you have opted in - Article 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent), withdrawable at any time.
  • Keeping the Website reliable and improving it on the basis of technical data needed to operate the service - Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest).
  • Analysing use of the Website (Google Analytics 4, Vercel Analytics) - only after consent in the cookie banner - Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.
  • Complying with legal obligations and establishing, exercising or defending legal claims - Article 6(1)(c) GDPR (legal obligation) and (f) (legitimate interest).

When and with whom we share information

We do not sell your personal data. We do not share it with data brokers or use it for third-party advertising. We share it only in the following circumstances:

  • With your explicit consent
  • With trusted service providers (processors) listed in “Third-party services”, under a data processing agreement (Article 28 GDPR), and only as far as necessary
  • When required by law, or to courts or public authorities
  • To protect against fraud, security threats or illegal activities, or to prevent serious harm
  • If Foundersi is involved in a merger, acquisition or sale of assets, your data may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will update this policy if a different controller takes over.

How we keep your information safe

We protect your data with encryption in transit (TLS), restricted administrative access, and organisational measures appropriate to a public website. No electronic transmission or storage system is 100% secure, so we cannot promise that unauthorised third parties will never be able to defeat our security.

Cookies and tracking technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies (including local storage) to operate the Website, remember your preferences, and - with your consent - analyse traffic. On your first visit we show a banner where you can accept all categories, reject optional cookies, or customise your settings. We do not embed advertising SDKs and we do not track you across other websites for advertising.

Types of cookies we use

  • Essential cookies: Required for basic website functionality (including session, security, language preferences and storing your cookie choice)
  • Analytics cookies: Google Analytics 4 (Google) and Vercel Analytics - enabled only after you give consent
  • Functional cookies: Remember additional interface preferences, such as display theme

Managing consent

You can change your cookie preferences at any time using the “Cookie settings” link in the website footer. We store them in your browser’s local storage until you change or clear them. Withdrawing analytics consent stops further analytics collection; it does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.

Your privacy rights

Under the GDPR you have the right to:

  • Access your data and receive a copy
  • Rectify inaccurate or incomplete data
  • Erase your data (“right to be forgotten”)
  • Data portability - receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format
  • Restrict processing
  • Object to processing based on our legitimate interests, at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation
  • Withdraw consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal (cookie banner; unsubscribe from marketing)
  • Lodge a complaint with the President of the Personal Data Protection Office (UODO), ul. Stawki 2, 00-193 Warsaw, Poland, https://uodo.gov.pl

To exercise the rights above, write to kontakt@foundersi.pl. We respond without undue delay and at the latest within one month, extendable by two further months for complex requests, in which case we will tell you.

How long we keep your information

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes in this policy, unless a longer period is required or permitted by law. When we no longer need the data we delete it or anonymise it. If deletion is not immediately possible because the data is held in backups, we isolate it until deletion is possible.

Retention periods

  • Waitlist and contact submissions: 2 years from the last contact, or until you ask us to delete them
  • Newsletter subscriptions: until you unsubscribe
  • Client and accounting data, if any arise: 5 years from the end of the relevant tax year (Polish tax law)
  • Analytics data: 26 months
  • Cookie data: as specified in cookie settings and the lifetime of the relevant cookie

Third-party services

We entrust processing of Website data to trusted providers acting as processors on our behalf:

  • Vercel Inc. - website hosting (policy: https://vercel.com/legal/privacy-policy)
  • Supabase Inc. - database for waitlist and site features (policy: https://supabase.com/privacy)
  • Vercel Analytics - website traffic analytics (policy: https://vercel.com/legal/privacy-policy)
  • Google LLC (Google Analytics 4) - website traffic analytics, only after cookie consent (policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy)

These providers have their own privacy policies. Links from the Website (including blog posts and store listings) are not covered by this notice - review the policy of any site you visit.

International data transfers

Our Website is hosted in the European Union where possible. Some providers (Vercel, Google, Supabase) may process data in the United States. Where data is transferred outside the EEA, we rely on the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses and, where the provider is certified, the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. You can request a copy of the relevant safeguards at kontakt@foundersi.pl.

Automated decision-making

We do not use automated decision-making, including profiling, within the meaning of Article 22 GDPR that would produce legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affect you.

Age and children’s privacy

The Website waitlist is intended for people who can use the Foundersi app, which is only for users aged 18 or over. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 16. If we learn that we have collected such data, we delete it. Reports of child sexual abuse material or exploitation: dev@foundersi.pl.

Personal data breaches

If a personal data breach is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the supervisory authority within 72 hours in accordance with Article 33 GDPR and, where the risk to you is high, notify you under Article 34 GDPR.

Do we make updates to this notice?

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version is indicated by an updated “Last updated” date and takes effect when it is published on this page. When we make material changes we will notify you on the Website. Previous versions are available on request.
