What We Collect

We collect the following information through our website:

  • Name, email address, company name, and role when you submit our contact form
  • Website usage data through Google Analytics (GA4) and Microsoft Clarity, including pages visited, session duration, and device information
  • Visitor identification data through RB2B, which may associate your website activity with personal information — including your email address — held by our data partners or vendors (see “Cookies and Analytics” below)

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Respond to your inquiries and communicate about our services
  • Provide and improve our technology intelligence services
  • Analyze website usage to improve the user experience

We do not sell or rent your personal data. As described below, we use a visitor-identification service (RB2B) whose data partners may associate your website activity with contact information such as your email address, and we (or service providers on our behalf) may use that information to send you communications and marketing. You can opt out at any time using the links in the “Cookies and Analytics” section.

Cookies and Analytics

Our website uses cookies from the following services:

  • Google Analytics (GA4) for website traffic and usage analytics
  • Microsoft Clarity for session recording and heatmap analytics
  • RB2B for visitor identification

When you visit or log in to our website, cookies and similar technologies may be used by our online data partners or vendors to associate these activities with other personal information they or others have about you, including by association with your email. We (or service providers on our behalf) may then send communications and marketing to these email addresses. You may opt out of receiving this advertising by visiting https://app.retention.com/optout. You also have the option to opt out of the collection of your personal data in compliance with GDPR by visiting https://www.rb2b.com/rb2b-gdpr-opt-out.

Our analytics tools help us understand how visitors use our site so we can improve it.

Non-essential cookies load only after you accept them via our cookie banner. You can change your choice at any time using the “Cookie Preferences” link in the site footer.

Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services that may process your data:

  • Google Analytics — website analytics (Privacy Policy)
  • Microsoft Clarity — session recording and analytics (Privacy Policy)
  • Formspree — contact form processing (Privacy Policy)
  • RB2B — visitor identification (Privacy Policy)

Each of these services operates under their own privacy policies.

Client Data and Confidentiality

When performing technical assessments and due diligence engagements, we may access client codebases and technical infrastructure. All such access is governed by separate non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) and service contracts.

Client data is handled with the following safeguards:

  • Access is read-only unless explicitly agreed otherwise
  • All data is encrypted in transit and at rest
  • We do not retain client source code after engagement completion
  • Access credentials are revoked upon engagement conclusion

Data Retention

Contact form submissions are retained for up to 24 months, after which they are deleted. Website analytics data is retained according to Google and Microsoft default retention policies.

Your Rights

You have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data. To exercise these rights, email us at contact@foundersled.studio and we will respond within 30 days.
