Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

At Pioneer Plum ("we", "our", "us"), we believe that product ideation thrives when privacy is respected by default. This Privacy Policy details how we handle information collected on pioneerplum.io.

2. Information We Collect

We believe in minimal data footprint. We only collect:

• Email Addresses: When you voluntarily join a waitlist, pitch an idea, or subscribe to updates on a concept.
• Idea & Feedback Submissions: Concept titles, category selections, problem descriptions, and comments you post to our collaborative board.
• Anonymous Interaction Metrics: Non-personally identifiable telemetry including page impressions and browser characteristics to optimize the website experience.

3. How We Use Your Data

We use your information exclusively to:

• Showcase and index community product suggestions.
• Send you direct updates regarding the specific concepts you have voted on or subscribed to.
• Evaluate community interest and provide marketing assistance to creators.
• Maintain system integrity and prevent spam or malicious bot actions.

🔒 Zero Third-Party Data Sales: Pioneer Plum does not sell, rent, or monetize your contact information or idea data to advertisers or third-party brokers.

4. Cookies & Local Storage

We do not employ invasive cross-site tracking cookies. We only use functional session tokens and local storage keys to remember user interface choices (e.g. dark mode preferences, submitted ideas, upvote states) and prevent duplicate submissions.

• Right of Access: Request a complete copy of all data stored concerning you.
