This policy explains what personal data The Founder (thefounder.ae) collects, why, and the choices you have.
What we collect
- Account data: your name, email, and a securely protected password if you set one.
- Business data: the information you enter in the wizard, your plan, the Founder OS apps and the assistant.
- Billing data: your plan and subscription status. We never store your card details; payments are handled by our payment provider.
- Technical data: standard data your browser sends (such as IP address, browser type, pages visited and time), used for security and reliability.
- Messages: what you send us, so we can reply.
How we use it
- To run the service, build your plan and keep your account secure.
- To process payments and manage your subscription.
- To send service messages and the notifications you choose.
- To answer your requests and prevent misuse.
We do not sell your personal data.
Employers on The Founder Jobs
Employers verify who they are before posting. These details are used only to confirm the employer is real, are stored privately, are seen only by our review team, and are never used for marketing. You can ask us to delete them at any time.
Storage and security
Your data is stored with trusted cloud providers and protected so that you only see your own records.
Service providers
We share the minimum data needed with trusted providers who help us run the service, such as hosting, payments, email, sign-in and the assistant. They process it only for us and may not use it for their own advertising.
How long we keep it
We keep your account and business data for as long as your account is active, so the product keeps working the way you left it. If you ask us to delete your account, we will delete or anonymise your personal data within a reasonable period, except where we must keep certain records for longer to meet a legal, tax or accounting obligation (for example, billing records tied to a completed payment). Message content sent to us via the contact form is kept for as long as reasonably needed to handle the request and for a limited period afterwards for our own records.
Your rights (PDPL)
Subject to UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on the Protection of Personal Data (PDPL), you can:
- Ask what personal data we hold about you, and get a copy of it.
- Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Ask us to delete your account and personal data, subject to the retention exceptions above.
- Withdraw any consent you previously gave (for example, for notifications), at any time.
- Ask for your data in a portable format.
- Object to a specific processing activity, or ask us to restrict it.
To exercise any of these, contact us using the details below. We will respond within a reasonable time.
Children
The Founder is a business tool intended for adults setting up or running a company. It is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the product changes. Material changes will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
