Privacy Policy

Last Updated: 1/12/2026

1. Information We Collect

We prioritize your privacy. We collect minimal information necessary to operate our tools:

Email Addresses: When you unlock Pro features, we collect your email address to provide access and send you occasional updates about HustleCheck. We also store contextual information about which features you accessed to improve our service. You can unsubscribe from emails at any time.
Usage Data: We analyze how users interact with our simulators to improve functionality (via analytics).
Input Data: Data you enter into calculators (e.g., budget, churn rate) is processed locally in your browser or temporarily for the simulation session. We do not store your specific business ideas or financial inputs permanently on our servers.

2. How We Use Your Email

When you provide your email address to unlock Pro features, we use it to:

Grant you access to Pro features (export, save, compare scenarios)
Send you a copy of your simulation results
Provide occasional product updates and tips (you can unsubscribe anytime)
Improve our service by understanding which features are most valuable

We will never sell your email address to third parties. Your email is stored securely and protected by industry-standard security measures.

3. Cookies and Local Storage

We use cookies and browser local storage to enhance your experience:

Cookies: Used to analyze traffic and remember your preferences. You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings.
Local Storage: Used to remember that you've unlocked Pro features so you don't need to re-enter your email on every visit. This data stays in your browser and is not transmitted to our servers unless you explicitly interact with Pro features.

4. Third-Party Links

Our site contains links to third-party tools and services (e.g., Shopify, Mercury). If you click these links, you are subject to the privacy policies of those third parties. We are not responsible for their data practices.

5. Data Security

We implement reasonable security measures to protect against unauthorized access, including encryption, secure database storage, and row-level security policies. However, no internet transmission is completely secure.

6. Your Rights (GDPR & CCPA Compliance)

Depending on your location, you may have rights to:

Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
Correction: Request that we correct any inaccurate personal data
Deletion: Request that we delete your personal data ("right to be forgotten")
Opt-out: Unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time using the link in our emails
