Privacy Policy for Startup911+
Last Updated: June 16, 2025
Thank you for using Startup911+ ("we," "us," or "our"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our Chrome Extension (the "Service").
1. Information We Collect
We collect information that is essential for the operation of the Service:
- Account Information: When you sign in using Google or another OAuth provider, we receive your email address and a unique user ID to create and manage your account.
- User Profile Data: We collect and store the information you voluntarily provide in your user profile on the options page, such as your company name, industry, and other business details, to help tailor the service.
- Grant & Page Data: When you use the extension, we collect and store the information you provide or that is automatically captured, including the grant opportunity title, the web page URL, your personal notes, and the application deadline.
- Page Content for Analysis: When you initiate an "Analyze with AI" action, we collect the text content of the active web page for the sole purpose of generating an analysis.
- AI-Generated Data: We store the analysis reports, summaries, and scores that are generated by the AI based on the page content.
- User-Managed Data: We store the status, priority, and other metadata that you assign to your saved grants within the dashboard.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the collected information for the following purposes:
- To Provide and Maintain the Service: To authenticate you, save your grant opportunities, and allow you to access and manage your data from the dashboard.
- To Enable Core Features: To run AI analysis on web page content, provide summaries, and send you notifications about upcoming deadlines.
- To Improve the Service: We may analyze aggregated, non-personally-identifiable data to understand how our users interact with the extension so we can improve its functionality and user experience.
3. Data Storage and Third-Party Services
We use trusted third-party services to operate Startup911+. All data transfer is encrypted via HTTPS.
- Supabase: All of your data, including account information and saved grants, is securely stored on Supabase. Supabase provides the database and authentication backend for our service. You can view their privacy policy here.
- OpenAI: When you request an AI analysis, the text content of the current grant opportunity page is sent to the OpenAI API to generate the summary. We do not send any personal or account information with this request. Per OpenAI's API data usage policies, they do not use data submitted via their API to train their models.
4. Data Security
We are committed to protecting your data. We use industry-standard security measures, including secure servers and encrypted data transmission (HTTPS), to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
5. Your Data Rights
You have control over your data:
- Access and Correction: You can access, review, and edit your saved grant data and profile information at any time through the extension's dashboard and options pages.
- Deletion: You can delete individual grant items from your dashboard. If you wish to delete your entire account and all associated data, please contact us at startup911@gmail.com, and we will process your request.
6. Children's Privacy
Our service is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from children under 13.
7. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
