Privacy Protocol

Last Updated: Jan 2026

1. Telemetry Collection

We collect technical telemetry including browser fingerprints, interaction heatmaps, and project data submitted during node initialization. This data is used strictly for network optimization and matching algorithms.

2. Identity Obfuscation

By default, founder nodes are indexed but protected. Full technical blueprints and thesis documents are only visible to verified Fund nodes within the Startify Network.

3. Neural Processing

Our AI assistants process your project data to generate strategic signals. This data is processed in ephemeral sessions and is never sold to third-party data brokers.

4. Node Sovereignty

You maintain full sovereignty over your node. You may request to archive (delete) your account and all associated data artifacts at any time via the Identity settings.
