Privacy Policy

Last updated June 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Goodvernance, Inc., a corporation organised under the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, collects, uses and shares information when you use Goodvernance. We aim to collect only what we need to run the service.

1. Introduction

Goodvernance is a platform for pre-incorporation founders to create, sign and run a Founder Agreement. This policy applies to information processed through the platform and the contact form.

2. Information we collect

  • Account data — email address and authentication credentials.
  • Founder and project data — project names, descriptions, founder names, roles, contributions and intended equity.
  • Founder Agreement data — the answers and terms used to generate your agreement and its versions.
  • Signatures and acknowledgments — signer name, timestamp, IP address and the acknowledgments accepted at signing.
  • Audit logs — a tamper-evident record of key actions, with cryptographic fingerprints (SHA-256).
  • Payment data — if and when payments are enabled, payment is handled by a third-party payment processor; we do not store full card details.
  • Technical data — basic device, browser and usage information needed to operate and secure the service.
  • Contact form data — the name, email and message you submit through the contact form.

3. How we use information

  • to provide, maintain and improve the platform;
  • to generate agreements, record signatures and maintain the audit trail;
  • to send service-related communications, such as cofounder invitations and plan notices;
  • to process payments where enabled;
  • to secure the platform and prevent abuse; and
  • to respond to your requests and comply with legal obligations.

4. Lawful processing

Where applicable law requires a legal basis for processing, we rely on the performance of our agreement with you, our legitimate interests in operating and securing the service, your consent where relevant, and compliance with legal obligations.

5. Sharing of information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only as needed:

  • Cofounders invited to the same project, who can see the shared project and agreement;
  • Service providers who process data on our behalf under appropriate terms;
  • Hosting — Vercel Inc., which hosts the application;
  • Database and document storage — Supabase, Inc.;
  • Payment processors — if and when payments are enabled; and
  • Legal and compliance — where required by law or to protect rights and safety.

6. Data retention

We retain your information for as long as your account is active and as needed to provide the service, to keep signed agreements and their audit trail available to you, and to comply with legal obligations. You may request deletion as described below; some records may be retained where retention is required or to preserve the integrity of signed agreements.

7. Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information, including access controls and a tamper-evident audit trail. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. International users

Goodvernance is operated from the United States and uses providers located in the United States. If you access the platform from another country, your information may be processed in the United States.

9. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, export or delete your personal information, or to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise these rights, please use our contact form. The exact scope of these rights depends on your jurisdiction.

10. Cookies and analytics

We use cookies and similar technologies that are necessary to operate the platform, such as keeping you signed in. If we add analytics or non-essential cookies in the future, this section will be updated accordingly.

11. Children’s privacy

Goodvernance is not intended for anyone under 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated through the product, and the “last updated” date below will change.
