Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 30, 2026
PH Launch Pad is a free tool built by tmaker. We keep things simple: we collect what we need to make the tools work, we don't sell your data, and you can delete everything whenever you want.
What we collect
If you use the tools without signing up
You can use every tool on PH Launch Pad without creating an account. When you do, we collect:
- Usage analytics – pages viewed, tools used, buttons clicked. Collected via PostHog (EU servers) to understand which features people actually use.
- Temporary IP address – used for rate limiting only. Stored in memory, cleared every 5 minutes. Never written to a database.
If you create an account
Signing up connects your Product Hunt account via OAuth. We receive and store:
- Product Hunt profile – username, display name, headline, avatar URL, maker status, follower/following counts, Twitter handle, website, and profile URL.
- OAuth tokens – encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM. Used to fetch your PH products and launch data on your behalf.
- Your saved work – taglines, first comments, checklist progress, tool results, launch settings, and target dates. Visible only to you.
We do not receive your email address from Product Hunt. A synthetic internal identifier is generated for authentication purposes only.
AI-powered features
The Tagline Generator and First Comment Generator send the text you type (product name, category, description, tone preferences) to a third-party AI provider (currently Groq) to generate suggestions.
- Your inputs are sent only when you click "Generate."
- We do not use your inputs to train AI models. Groq's API terms prohibit training on user data.
- Generated outputs are not stored unless you explicitly save them.

Cookies
- Auth cookies – Supabase session cookies for keeping you logged in. Essential for the app to function.
- OAuth state cookie – a temporary, httpOnly cookie that lasts 10 minutes during the Product Hunt login flow. Used to prevent CSRF attacks.
- Analytics – PostHog may set a cookie to distinguish unique visitors. No cross-site tracking.
We do not use advertising cookies or tracking pixels.
Your rights & data deletion
You can:
- Disconnect Product Hunt – removes your PH tokens and profile data while keeping your account.
- Delete your account – permanently removes all your data (profile, launches, saved work, checklist progress). This is immediate and irreversible.
- Export your data – contact us and we'll provide a copy of everything we store about you.
Both options are available in your dashboard settings.
Children
PH Launch Pad is not intended for anyone under 16. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

If we make material changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page. For significant changes that affect how we handle your data, we'll notify logged-in users via the app.
