PRIVACY POLICY

01 // CORE PHILOSOPHY

Product.forum operates as an open, decentralized product discovery platform for independent software creators. In accordance with Swiss data privacy principles (Federal Act on Data Protection - FADP) and GDPR standards, we collect only the minimal technical telemetry necessary to facilitate bidirectional ecosystem referrals.

02 // DATA WE COLLECT

When navigating the Product.forum directory or submitting a product, we may process:

• Product Submission Records: Product name, contact email, public URLs, and maker social handles provided voluntarily through our submission form.
• Anonymous Ecosystem Telemetry: Aggregated click counts on outbound product referral links (e.g. tracking that a user discovered a product via Product.forum).
• Local Storage State: A local cookie consent token stored exclusively in your browser to remember your telemetry preferences across sessions.

03 // ZERO TRACKING ADS

We do not sell, license, or syndicate user browsing habits to third-party advertising brokers or surveillance data aggregators. There are zero tracking pixels or behavioral ad cookies embedded in this application.

04 // OUTBOUND EXTERNAL LINKS

Product.forum indexes third-party software websites. When clicking an outbound link (marked with an arrow glyph), you leave our domain and enter the destination product's independent website. We append referral tags (?ref=product.forum) solely to attribute incoming visitors to our community.

05 // YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS

You maintain the absolute right to inspect, export, or permanently purge any maker contact details or product records associated with your name. To request complete removal of your product from our directory, contact our registry office at:
