Privacy Policy

Last Updated: April 29, 2026

Introduction

•PocketFounder (operated by SmartMango) is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains, in plain language, what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
•Recent updates: the business ideas you generate are now saved to your account, so you can find them again on any device. You stay in control — you can star, archive, or permanently delete any idea at any time.
•This policy aligns with GDPR (EU), CCPA (US), PIPL (China), and PDPO (Hong Kong).

•Account information. Sign-in (email and password) is handled by Clerk, a security-certified provider. We never see or store your password.
•The business ideas you generate. Each idea is saved to your account so you can come back to it later. You can star, archive, or delete it whenever you like.
•Anonymous usage information. We record general events such as "a generation started" or "pricing page viewed" to understand which features are useful. Before saving, your IP address is converted into a one-way code (it cannot be reversed back to your IP), so we can spot patterns without identifying you.
•Profile inputs (skills, interests, location, time available, pain points). These are used only during a single generation run and are discarded immediately afterwards. They are never permanently stored.
•Payment information. If you buy credits, payment is handled entirely by Stripe. We see only a customer reference and the credit amount — we never see or store your card details.

•Your saved ideas live in your account. When you sign in on a new device, they are there — you do not need to copy anything across.
•Use the star button on an idea to mark a favourite. The menu next to it lets you archive (hide from your main list) or delete (remove permanently). Stars and archives are saved to your account, so they look the same wherever you sign in.
•A recent copy of your ideas is also kept in your browser so the app loads quickly. Clearing your browser data does not remove anything from your account — the next time you sign in, your ideas will reload automatically.
•If you choose to delete your account, your ideas are deleted with it. You can also email privacy@smartmango.ai at any time to request a copy of your data or a full deletion.

•Encrypted connections. All traffic to our site uses modern encryption (TLS 1.3). Your browser also remembers to always use the secure version, so it cannot be tricked into a downgraded connection.
•Locked-down browser permissions. Our site does not use your camera, microphone, location, or payment hardware. We explicitly tell your browser to deny those permissions to us.
•Trusted service providers. Sign-in is handled by Clerk, payments by Stripe — both are independently audited and hold industry security certifications such as SOC 2.
•Your data is stored on encrypted infrastructure. Only authorised members of our team can access it, and only when it is necessary for support or operations.

•We use a small number of cookies to keep you signed in and to keep your generation requests tied to your session. We do not use third-party advertising or behavioural-tracking cookies.
•Some preferences (your chosen language, your selected AI model) and a recent copy of your saved ideas are kept in your browser's local storage so the app loads quickly. You can clear this at any time from your browser settings — your account data will reload automatically the next time you sign in.
