Privacy Commitment: Product.forum does not sell personal data, does not serve behavioral advertising, and does not execute third-party ad retargeting pixels. We collect only what is necessary to operate our community discovery platform and verify builder software.
1. Information We Collect
We collect minimal information to operate and protect the registry:
Submitted Product Metadata: When you list an application, we store the product name, tagline, description, category, website URL, maker handle, maker email, and submitted screenshot or brand mark.
Referral Telemetry: When users click external links to discover builder websites, we log an anonymized outbound event to compute community engagement metrics.
Voting Integrity Hashes: Upvotes are recorded with one-way salted client identifiers (IP hash and user agent token) solely to prevent artificial vote inflation and duplicate ballot stuffing.
2. Cookies and Storage
We use localStorage solely for:
Persisting your preferred color mode (Light vs Dark mode).
Remembering your cookie telemetry consent status.
Local upvote feedback cache for instant interface responsiveness.
3. Data Protection Rights (GDPR & CCPA)
Every maker maintains complete control over their listed product data. You have the right to request access to, rectification of, or permanent deletion of your product submission at any time by contacting our editorial team at privacy@product.forum.
