Joinbase (“we”, “us”) operates joinbase.dev — a founder network, launch-page and waitlist platform, and development studio. This policy explains what personal data we collect, why, and the choices you have. For privacy questions or requests, contact hello@joinbase.dev.
Account data. Name, email, handle, profile details, skills and experience you add, and content you post (messages, posts, comments, job and company listings).
Waitlist signups. When you join a waitlist hosted on Joinbase (including on a founder's custom domain), we collect the email and any name, role, or company you provide, plus your signup source and referral information. You do not need an account to join a waitlist.
Payments. Payments are processed by Stripe. We store billing status and invoice records; we never store full card details.
Usage data. Standard server logs (IP address, request metadata) for security and abuse prevention, and — only if you consent — error-monitoring events via Sentry.
To operate the platform, deliver waitlist updates you asked for, process payments, prevent abuse, provide support, and improve the product. We do not sell or share your personal data for advertising, and we do not use it to train AI models.
Where the GDPR applies, we process data on these bases: contract (operating your account and subscriptions), consent (waitlist updates, error monitoring — withdrawable at any time), and legitimate interest (security, abuse prevention, service communications).
Founders use Joinbase to collect interest in their own products. When you join a founder's waitlist, your signup is shared with that founder so they can launch to you. Every waitlist email includes an unsubscribe link, which also lets you delete your signup entirely — no account required.
We share data only with the providers below, to run the platform. Each processes data under its own data-processing agreement.
Our providers are based in the United States. Where data originates in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, transfers rely on our providers' safeguards, including Standard Contractual Clauses and, where applicable, the EU–US Data Privacy Framework.
Account data is kept while your account is active and deleted when you delete your account. Waitlist signups are kept until you unsubscribe and delete them, the founder removes them, or the waitlist is deleted. Payment and invoice records are kept as required by tax and accounting law (typically 7 years). Server logs are retained for a short operational window.
You can access, correct, export, or delete your data, object to or restrict processing, and withdraw consent at any time. Residents of California and other US states also have the right to know, delete, and opt out of sale or sharing — we do not sell or share personal data as defined by those laws, so there is nothing to opt out of.
Self-serve options:
For anything else, email hello@joinbase.dev. We respond within 30 days. EEA/UK residents may also lodge a complaint with their supervisory authority.
We use essential cookies for sign-in and security. Error monitoring (Sentry) only runs if you accept it in the cookie banner; you can change your mind by clearing the “jb-consent” cookie. We use no advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
Joinbase is for people 16 and older. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 16; if you believe we have, contact us and we will delete it.
We will update this page when our practices change and revise the date above. Material changes will be announced in the product.
