Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2026

1. Who we are

TruthDeck (truthdeck.xyz) is an AI-powered startup intelligence platform for the Indian startup ecosystem. This policy explains what personal data we collect, why, and how it is stored.

2. Data we collect

Account data

Email address and hashed password via Supabase Auth. We never see your raw password.

Payment data

Payments are processed by Cashfree and Stripe. We store only your email address, chosen plan tier, and payment reference IDs. Full card details are never stored on our servers.

Waitlist data

Name, email address, and self-reported role — used only to send your invite email.

Alert subscriptions

Email address and watched startup slugs — used solely to send score-change notifications.

Monthly investor check-ins

When a founder submits a monthly update (cash in bank, burn rate, MRR) that data is visible only to the investor who requested it and is not shown on public profiles.

Audit logs

IP addresses are logged for security-relevant events only: dispute submissions, rate-limit violations, bot detections, and admin logins. Retained 90 days.

Reviews

Role and relationship to the startup. Your email address is not attached to public review records.

3. Third-party services

We do not use behavioral analytics (no Google Analytics, Mixpanel, Amplitude, etc.) and do not track page views or click events.

4. Data storage and retention

All data is stored in Supabase on AWS ap-south-1 (Mumbai). Audit logs are retained 90 days. Account data is retained until you delete your account. Payment records may be retained longer to meet tax obligations.

5. Your rights

Email us at privacy@truthdeck.xyz to exercise any of these rights.

6. Cookies

We use only a single session cookie set by Supabase Auth to keep you logged in. No advertising or third-party tracking cookies are used.

7. Security

All traffic is encrypted via HTTPS with HSTS enforced. API keys are stored as SHA-256 hashes — the raw key is shown only once at creation. Passwords are hashed by Supabase Auth. Rate limiting is enforced on all public endpoints via Upstash Redis.

8. Changes to this policy

Material changes will be announced via the in-app banner. The "last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision.
