XFoundry is operated by XFoundry ("we", "us", or "our"). We provide a SaaS idea discovery platform at xfoundry.dev that surfaces and scores business ideas from public online communities using AI.

For privacy inquiries, contact us at: [email protected]

We use the data we collect to:

• Authenticate you and maintain your session
• Deliver the service — idea feed, deep analysis, saved ideas, notifications
• Process payments and manage your subscription or credit balance
• Send transactional emails (digest notifications, billing receipts) if you opt in
• Detect and prevent abuse or fraudulent activity

We do not sell your data. We do not use your data for advertising or profiling.

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or Switzerland, our legal bases for processing your personal data are:

• Contract performance — processing necessary to provide the service you signed up for (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR)
• Legitimate interests — fraud prevention, service security, and improving our product (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR)
• Legal obligation — retaining transaction records as required by law (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR)
• Consent — for optional email notification digests, which you can withdraw at any time

We share data only with the following sub-processors, each bound by their own data processing agreements:

Where data is transferred outside the EEA, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or adequacy decisions as the transfer mechanism.

We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account:

• Account and profile data is deleted within 30 days
• Payment records are retained for 7 years as required by financial regulations
• Anonymized usage statistics may be retained indefinitely

To exercise any of these rights, email us at [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days (GDPR) or 45 days (CCPA).

XFoundry is not directed at children under 16 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us immediately.

We implement industry-standard security measures including TLS encryption in transit, row-level security in our database, and scoped API keys. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify registered users by email for material changes. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

By creating an account or using XFoundry ("the Service"), you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the Service. These terms apply to all users globally, with additional provisions for EEA users where noted.

XFoundry is a SaaS idea discovery platform that aggregates publicly discussed business ideas from online communities, scores them using AI, and provides on-demand deep analysis reports. The Service is provided as-is for informational purposes only.

• You must provide a valid email address to create an account
• You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account
• You must be at least 16 years old to use the Service
• One account per person — no shared accounts

You agree not to:

• Use the Service for any unlawful purpose
• Scrape, crawl, or systematically download the Service's content
• Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or extract the AI models or scoring logic
• Create multiple accounts to circumvent Free plan limits
• Resell or sublicense access to the Service without written permission
• Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Service

The Service, including its design, code, AI models, and scoring methodology, is owned by XFoundry and protected by copyright and intellectual property laws. The community-sourced idea content is aggregated from public sources; we do not claim ownership over the underlying ideas.

Deep analysis reports generated for your account are for your personal or internal business use only and may not be redistributed commercially.

The Service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. AI-generated scores and analysis reports are for informational purposes only and do not constitute business, legal, or financial advice. We make no guarantees about the accuracy, completeness, or fitness for a particular purpose of any content on the platform.

Market conditions change rapidly. An idea scored as "GO" today may become unviable tomorrow. Always conduct your own due diligence before making business or investment decisions.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, XFoundry shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, data, or business opportunities, arising from your use of the Service.

Our total aggregate liability to you shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim.

Note: Some jurisdictions (including EU member states) do not allow the exclusion of certain implied warranties or limitations of liability for consumers. The above limitations apply only to the extent permitted by law in your jurisdiction.

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which XFoundry is incorporated, without regard to conflict of law principles.

For EU/EEA users: Nothing in these Terms affects your rights as a consumer under mandatory applicable EU or national law, including the right to bring proceedings in the courts of your country of residence. EU consumers may also use the EU Online Dispute Resolution platform at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.

For US users: Any disputes shall be resolved by binding arbitration under the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules, except that either party may seek injunctive relief in court for IP infringement or misappropriation of confidential information.

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated via email with at least 14 days notice. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.

We may suspend or terminate your account for violation of these Terms. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. Unused credits are non-refundable upon termination for cause.

We use only essential cookies — cookies that are strictly necessary for the Service to function. We do not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or analytics cookies.

Because we use only strictly necessary cookies, we are not required to display a consent banner under the ePrivacy Directive or GDPR. No consent is needed for cookies that are essential to a service explicitly requested by the user.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but doing so will prevent you from staying logged in to XFoundry.
