Findby

Legal

Privacy policy.

Effective 2026-05-23.

This policy describes what Findby collects, how it is used, and how it is protected. It is written to match the product’s actual behaviour — if you see a discrepancy between what the policy says and what the platform does, the platform is wrong and we want to know.

1. What we collect

Three categories. Account data: the name, email, billing address, and payment method needed to operate your subscription. Operational data: the leads you discover, the demo sites you generate, the emails you draft and send, and the deliverability events those sends produce. Public records: the business listings, reviews, and contact emails the discovery crawler surfaces from public sources.

2. What we do with it

We use account data to run the subscription. We use operational data to run the product — to draft emails from context, to ramp your sending domain, to flag deliverability drift before it lands you in spam. We use public records to surface candidate leads and we do not store more of them than the product needs.

3. What we don’t do

We don’t sell data. We don’t share it with third parties for their marketing. We don’t scrape personal social profiles. We don’t buy contact lists from data brokers. We don’t train external models on your operational data.

4. Subprocessors

The product runs on a handful of named providers: Stripe for billing, Postmark and Amazon SES for transactional and outbound mail, Cloudflare R2 for asset storage, and a managed Postgres host for the primary database. The current list, with each role and jurisdiction, is published on request to hi@findby.io.

5. Retention

Operational data lives in the active platform for as long as your subscription does. On cancellation we retain it for thirty days so you can resubscribe without losing state, then it is removed from production storage. Backup retention runs to a maximum of ninety days. Legal-hold exceptions apply only where a specific obligation requires longer retention.

6. Your rights

You can access, export, correct, or delete your data at any time. Export is a CSV download from the dashboard; correction and deletion are by request to hi@findby.io and run within the windows the applicable regulation requires (thirty days for GDPR and CCPA requests, longer only where the regulation explicitly allows it).

7. Cookies and similar technologies

The marketing site uses no third-party analytics or advertising cookies. The product uses a session cookie for authentication and a CSRF token cookie for form submissions. Both are first-party, strictly necessary, and not used for tracking.

8. Children

Findby is a tool for business operators. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under sixteen, and the service is not directed at minors.

9. Changes

Material changes are announced by email at least thirty days before they take effect. The current version is always posted at this URL with an effective date at the top.
