Privacy

The controller is Beri Dayan, Malachi 1, Ramat Gan, Israel. Questions and requests go to beri@dayzero.ltd. Governing law is the laws of Israel.

We use this data to run accounts, list campaigns, save pledges and charge them when a funded campaign opens access, collect card payments for the founder, refund backers when a founder cancels, connect seats, send the founder their remainder, check founder identity, and send the email we trigger. A public @username portfolio is part of using the product: campaigns you back, prices you choose to show, and delivery status appear there.

Backers: email, an optional phone number, and optional profile content you publish on @username. Founders: Loom video, listing materials, and payout details. Founder identity is checked via Loom and a government ID plus selfie. The ID and selfie go to Didit. Day Zero keeps the pass/fail result.

Pledges: when you pledge, Dodo Payments saves your card and the permission to charge it once if the campaign is funded. Day Zero stores the pledge itself: the campaign, the amount, its status, when it was charged or tried again, Dodo's references for the saved card and payments, and the reason Dodo gives if a card is declined.

Day Zero does not see or store card numbers. The founder sells the lifetime license. Card payments are collected for that founder. One LTD per user per startup is enforced on your account — we do not sell your data or run ads.

Backer portfolios and founder track records are public by design (campaigns and delivery). Each LTD is a public seat: who holds it is visible, and the holder may list that seat for another verified backer until they redeem it on the product. After that, it cannot change hands. Founders cannot turn listings off for unclaimed seats. Pledges are private: a campaign page shows how many backers have pledged, not who, and a pledge does not appear on your portfolio. Once a pledge is charged it becomes a seat and shows like any other. You can choose a display name. Ban-list entries show a reason, not a home address. Account email stays off public portfolios and seat pages.

While you have an open pledge, the founder sees only how many backers have pledged. When your pledge is charged, or when you buy at checkout, purchase details including the email on your account go to the named founder, as the seller, so they can deliver the license and contact you about that product. Only that founder sees that list. Founders may use it only for access, support, and news about that product, and may not sell or share it. Day Zero does not sell it, and other founders cannot see people who backed a campaign that is not theirs.

We email you about your account and your money: sign-in, purchases, returns, and each step of a pledge (saved, the campaign reaching or missing its goal, the charge, a declined card, a cancelled or dropped pledge). These are part of the service, so they don't have an unsubscribe while you have an open pledge or a seat. We don't send advertising for other companies.

Essential cookies are always on — the site cannot run without them: sign-in (Supabase auth), the backer/founder preference, the cookie that remembers your cookie choice, and one (dayzero-consent-region) that records only whether you are visiting from the European Union, the European Economic Area, or the United Kingdom, worked out from your IP address when the page loads. We use no advertising cookies.

If you visit from the EU, the EEA, or the UK, a banner asks you to accept all cookies or keep essential ones only, and analytics cookies stay off until you choose Accept all. Everywhere else, analytics are on from your first visit and you can turn them off at any time.

When analytics are on, PostHog sets first-party cookies and local storage (names starting with ph_) so it can tell visits apart, and records page views, clicks, and actions such as starting a checkout or publishing a listing. If you are signed in, that activity is linked to your account ID, email, name, and role. PostHog also records sessions: how pages are used, such as scrolling, clicks, and page changes, with what you type into form fields masked. If Plausible is enabled, it counts page views and uses no cookies of its own. If you arrived through a link with a ref= tag (for example from Reddit or a YouTube video), a first-party cookie (dayzero-ref) remembers that tag for 90 days, and if you then create an account we record it with your account, so we know which places bring new members.

With Essential only, PostHog does not load. To change your choice wherever you are, use Cookies in the footer: switching to Essential only stops PostHog and deletes its cookies and storage, and the dayzero-ref cookie. Campaign widgets embedded on other sites never load analytics.

Campaign pages play the founder's Loom in the page. That player is loaded from Loom. Dodo Payments processes card payments and saves the cards backers pledge with, under its own privacy policy; Day Zero never sees your card number. A listed-seat sale between backers uses the payment method those backers choose, which may see the seller's payout email. Didit checks a founder's government ID and selfie; we keep the pass/fail result. Supabase stores accounts. Resend sends the email we trigger, such as sign-in and payout notices. Bank details you submit are used to send your remainder to that account. Those vendors may process data outside the country where you live. We do not sell personal information.

When analytics are on, PostHog (servers in the United States) receives the usage data described under Cookies, plus technical error data. If analytics are on, Plausible counts page views and uses no cookies. If error reporting is on, Sentry receives technical error data. A founder embed counts impressions and clicks for that campaign as totals, not a profile of the visitor.

We handle your data to do what you asked: run your account, save and charge pledges, take payments, and deliver seats. We keep payment and tax records because the law requires it. We check identity and look for fraud and abuse to keep the site safe for backers and founders. In the EU, the EEA, and the UK, analytics cookies run only with your consent. Elsewhere we run them to understand how the site is used and improve it. Either way you can turn them off from Cookies in the footer.

We keep payment, pledge, payout, and identity records while a refund, a chargeback, or the law requires it. That includes pledges that ended without a charge. When a pledge ends, Day Zero stops using the saved card for it.

Email beri@dayzero.ltd to get a copy of your data, correct it, delete optional profile content or your account, or object to how we use it. If you ask to delete your account while a pledge is open, we cancel the pledge first, so you are not charged. Closing an account does not unpublish a campaign that already has backers, or erase a public seat history. To complain, email us or the Israel Privacy Protection Authority, or the data protection authority where you live.
