Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 13, 2026
GoBatch ("we") helps founders discover accelerator, competition and hackathon deadlines. This policy explains what we collect when you use GoBatch.
What we collect
- Account information: your name, email address and profile image, received from Google when you sign in with Google, or the name, email and password you provide when you sign up with email. Passwords are stored only as hashes.
- Session data: a session cookie plus the IP address and browser user agent of each sign-in, used to keep you signed in and protect your account.
We do not use advertising trackers or sell your data.
How we use it
Only to sign you in, keep your account secure, and operate the service. We do not send marketing email.
Claude and MCP connector
GoBatch provides an optional read-only Model Context Protocol (MCP) connector named gobatch. When you use it through Claude, Claude's servers send your search request to GoBatch so we can return matching public startup opportunities. The connector does not require a GoBatch account and does not access your GoBatch account, saved events, Google account, email, contacts, calendar or other private data.
Search requests and results may be processed by our hosting and AI service providers to interpret natural-language filters and return results. We do not use MCP search requests to build advertising profiles or sell them to third parties. The connector is read-only: it cannot create, edit or delete GoBatch data.
Public opportunity data
Opportunity records returned by the website and MCP connector come from public sources and may include names, dates, locations, summaries, eligibility information and official URLs. Do not submit passwords, payment information or other sensitive personal information in a search request.
Google user data
We request only the basic profile and email scopes. GoBatch's use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. We do not access your Gmail, Drive, contacts or any other Google data.
Where it is stored
Data is stored on our hosting provider, Gencow (gencow.app), and is not shared with other third parties except where required by law.
Retention and deletion
We keep your account data while your account exists. To delete your account and all associated data, email jaypark8780@gmail.com; we will delete it within 30 days. You can also revoke GoBatch's access at any time from your Google Account permissions.
Changes
We will update the date above when this policy changes.
