FirstContact keeps participation context useful without turning founder or investor data into a commodity.

Signup records

The hosted signup stores the information you submit—including your name, email, location, role or organization context, participation goals, and optional update preference—in the project's Convex database. We use it to understand demand, review participation, prioritise access, and contact you about the FirstContact flow you selected.

What signup does not do

A signup does not publish a catalogue profile, initiate investor research, create outreach, or share private details with another user. Each of those steps requires a separate, visible decision.

Data boundaries

• Private intake context stays separate from outreach-approved claims.
• Catalogue publication requires approval for the exact public fields.
• Investor interest reveals no private contact data until accepted.
• Contact sources, corrections, objections, and suppressions remain auditable.
• Contact data is never sold or contributed through the repository.

Retention and requests

Signup records are reviewed periodically and should not be kept longer than needed for access management. Until a dedicated privacy inbox is published, you can request access, correction, or deletion by replying to any FirstContact access message you receive. Do not post personal information in a public GitHub issue.

Independent deployments

Operators running their own copy are responsible for their own privacy notice, lawful basis, retention, data-subject requests, international transfers, provider agreements, and security controls.
