Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 29, 2026
This policy explains what information Foundy.am collects, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the site you agree to this policy.
Information we collect
We collect the details you provide when you create a report or an account — such as the item description, approximate location, date, photos, and your name, email or phone. Sensitive identifiers like serial numbers are stored encrypted. We also collect basic technical data (IP address, browser type, pages viewed) to keep the service secure and working.
How we use your information
We use your information to publish your report, run the matching engine, let matched parties contact each other, prevent fraud and abuse, and improve the service. We do not sell your personal data.
What is shown publicly
Your contact details are never shown publicly. Public listings show only the item information and an approximate area — never your exact location or personal contact details, which are revealed only after ownership is verified and you choose to share them.
Cookies, analytics and advertising
We use essential cookies to keep you signed in and secure. We may use analytics (such as Google Analytics) to understand how the site is used, and third-party advertising partners that may set cookies to show relevant ads. You can control cookies through your browser settings.
Data retention
We keep reports and account data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the service. You can ask us to delete your data at any time, subject to legal obligations.
Your rights
You can access, correct or delete your personal data, and object to certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us and we will respond as required by applicable law.
