Privacy Policy

Startup Planner ("we", "us", or "our") operates the website planyourbusiness.online (the "Service"). This page explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the Service, you agree to this policy.

Information we collect

We collect the information you provide directly when you create an account or use the Service, including your name, email address, password (stored only as a secure hash), and the business, plan, task, and tool data you enter. We also collect basic technical data such as your browser type and activity within the app for security and to improve the product.

How we use your information

We use your information to provide and maintain your account, generate your startup plans and tool outputs, process Premium upgrades, communicate important notices, and keep the Service secure. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

Premium upgrades & WhatsApp

Premium access is arranged manually. When you choose to upgrade, you contact us via WhatsApp and your message may include your account email so we can activate Premium on your account. Any communication you have with us on WhatsApp is governed by WhatsApp's own privacy policy in addition to ours.

Cookies & local storage

We use a session cookie to keep you signed in and to protect forms against cross-site request forgery. Your browser's local storage is used to remember preferences such as light/dark theme. These are essential to how the Service functions.

Data retention

We keep your account data for as long as your account is active. If you ask us to delete your account, we will remove your personal data except where we are required to retain it for legal or security reasons.

Data security

We take reasonable measures to protect your data, including hashed passwords, prepared database statements, and CSRF protection. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your rights

You can access and update your profile information at any time from your account settings. You may request a copy or deletion of your personal data by contacting us using the details below.

Children's privacy

The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above.
