The short version.
This is the friendly summary. The rest of this page is the formal version that lawyers, regulators, and our affiliate partners need us to write. Read whichever version you prefer — both say the same thing.
Who we are.
LaunchStackHub ("we," "us," "our") operates the website at launchstackhub.com (the "Service"). We're an independent tool recommendation platform for founders, solopreneurs, and creators.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information when you visit our website or use our quiz.
By using the Service, you consent to the practices described here. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.
Data we collect.
Information you provide directly
When you take our quiz, we collect:
- Your quiz answers (business type, stage, budget, skill level, goals)
- Your email address — only if you choose to receive your results by email
- Any message you send us through our contact form or by email
Information collected automatically
When you visit launchstackhub.com, we automatically receive:
- Standard log data: IP address, browser type, device type, operating system
- Referring URL (which site sent you to us)
- Pages viewed, time spent, and interactions on our site
- Approximate location based on your IP address (country/region level only)
What we do NOT collect
- Payment information (we never process payments directly)
- Government IDs, social security numbers, or sensitive personal data
- Information from minors under 13 (see Section 09)
How we use it.
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
- To run the quiz and generate your personalized tool recommendations
- To send you your results by email, if you requested it
- To send occasional updates about new features or tools — only if you opt in
- To improve our quiz logic and recommendations over time
- To understand site traffic and audience behavior through analytics
- To detect, prevent, or address fraud and security issues
- To comply with legal obligations
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes. Ever.
Third parties.
We work with a small number of trusted services to operate the site:
Analytics providers
We use privacy-respecting analytics to understand how visitors use our site. Our analytics provider may set anonymous identifiers to count unique visitors.
Affiliate partners
When you click a recommendation link on our site, you may be redirected to a partner website (such as Hostinger, MailerLite, Semrush, Kit, Teachable, GetResponse, Notion, Webflow, Visme, and others). These partners may set their own cookies on your device to track that you came from us.
If you sign up for a paid plan with a partner after clicking our link, we may earn a commission. This costs you nothing extra. See our Affiliate Disclosure for complete details.
Email service provider
If you provide your email address, we store it with a reputable email marketing platform. Your email is never shared with anyone outside our operations.
Hosting & infrastructure
Our website is hosted with Hostinger. They process technical data (logs, server requests) on our behalf to make the site work.

Children's privacy.
Our Service is not directed to children under 13 (or under 16 in the EU). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.
Changes to this policy.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we'll update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
If we make material changes (significant changes to how we collect or use data), we'll notify you by email — if we have your address — or by posting a prominent notice on our site at least 14 days before the changes take effect.
Continued use of the Service after changes take effect means you accept the updated Policy.
