Terms & Privacy

Last updated September 2026

Plain-language summary: we store your Google account info and whatever ideas/debates you enter, use them only to run the tool for you, never sell your data, and this tool's output is a decision-support exercise — not financial, legal, or professional advice.

What this is

Founder's Round Tables is a tool that runs a live, multi-agent debate over a startup idea you provide, and produces a summary, next steps, and a scorecard. It's meant to sharpen your own thinking about an idea — it does not guarantee outcomes, and a high or low score is not a verdict on whether your idea will succeed.

Account & sign-in

You sign in with Google. We receive and store your name, email address, and profile picture from that sign-in — we never see or store your Google password. New accounts are verified by email before they can be used.

What we store

  • If you buy credits: the Polar order reference, the amount paid, and the credits it added to your balance. That is the whole record — see below.
  • Payments

    Credits are bought as a one-off purchase. There is no subscription, no recurring charge, and nothing renews — you buy a number of credits, they sit in your balance, and you buy more if and when you want to. Nothing is ever billed automatically.

    Payments are taken by Polar, which acts as the merchant of record. That means the purchase is made with Polar, who handle the payment and any sales tax or VAT due.

    Your card details are never entered into this app and are never stored by it. Card entry happens on Polar's own checkout page. We never see your card number, and there is nothing of that kind in our database to lose. What we keep is only the order reference, the amount, and the credits it bought.

    Receipts, invoices and your full payment history live in Polar's customer portal, which you can reach at any time from your account page or at polar.sh/foundersroundtables/portal. Polar emails you a one-time code to sign in, using the address you bought with.

    Refunds are handled through Polar. If an order is refunded, the credits it bought are removed from your balance, which can leave the balance negative if they have already been spent.

    How your content is used

    Your idea and the debate transcript are sent to Anthropic's Claude API to generate each specialist's response — that's how every turn in the room is produced. If an agent has live web access enabled, it may fetch a URL or search the web when your idea or the discussion references one, using Anthropic's own web tools; we don't otherwise browse the web on your behalf. Your project content is never used to train models, sold to third parties, or shown to other users, except a project you explicitly share.

    Who can see what

    You only ever see your own projects, plus anything explicitly shared with you. The tool's administrator can see all accounts and all projects, for support and abuse-prevention purposes — this is a small, operator-run tool, not a large company with a formal internal-access policy.

    Deleting your data

    You can delete any of your own projects at any time, which permanently removes its transcript, decisions, documents, and report. There's currently no self-serve "delete my account" button — email the admin (the address this tool sends mail from) to have your account and all associated data removed.

    Limits on use

    Free accounts are limited to a small number of new projects per calendar month, purely to keep the tool usable for everyone and prevent abuse — not a technical limitation. We can suspend or deactivate accounts that abuse this or otherwise misuse the tool.

    No warranty

    This tool is provided as-is, with no guarantee of uptime, accuracy, or fitness for any particular purpose. The specialists are AI personas, not licensed professionals — nothing they say is financial, legal, medical, or other professional advice, and you're responsible for your own decisions.

    Changes

    This is a small, actively developed tool and these terms may change as it does. Material changes will update the date at the top of this page.

    Questions about this policy or your data: reach out via the admin contact on the sign-in page's email correspondence. See also how the tool works.
