Privacy Policy

Last updated: 14 September 2026

This policy explains what MakerHunt collects to run a daily product hunt. Operator: KLJr. Contact support@makerhunt.space.

What we collect

  • Account: email, display name, optional photo, optional username and bio, auth provider (Google or magic link).
  • Listings: product name, URLs, description, categories, cover/logo, launch schedule, crawl status, paid entitlements.
  • Engagement: upvotes, comments (markdown), comment upvotes, reports.
  • Billing: Stripe customer and subscription IDs, checkout metadata (no full card numbers on our servers).
  • Technical: IP used for rate limiting and security logs, standard request metadata.

Where it lives

Auth and Firestore use the shared Firebase project maker-wall (also used by MakerWall). Stripe processes payments. Resend sends transactional email (magic link / resets). Hosting is on Vercel when deployed. Aggregate page views use Vercel Web Analytics (cookieless).

How we use it

  • Operate launches, rankings, comments, and dashboards
  • Crawl free badges and process paid launch entitlements
  • Prevent abuse (rate limits, CSRF, report queue)
  • Send auth email you request

We do not sell personal data. We do not run third-party ad trackers by default. See Cookies.

Public by design

Product pages, maker profiles (when you claim a username), comments, and launch ranks are public. Do not put secrets in listings or comments.

Retention and requests

Account and listing data stay while your account and listings remain active. Email support@makerhunt.space to request access, correction, or deletion. We may retain security logs for a limited period.
