Privacy policy

Before Market runs beforemarket.club: a service for people buying a small business, and for owners who want to claim or list theirs. Questions about this policy go to ty@beforemarket.club.

• Your email address, and your name if you add it. If you sign in with Google, Google tells us your email address; we keep that and nothing else from your Google account.
• What you put into the product: applications, deal boxes, saved searches, pipeline stages, notes, activity, and messages to the deal flow agent.
• If you sign the buyer NDA: your typed or drawn signature, the time, your IP address and browser, kept as the signing record.
• If you own a business: the details you give when you claim or list it.

Stripe takes card payments. We never see or store your card number. We keep your Stripe customer and subscription IDs and whether your plan is active.

• One cookie keeps you signed in, for up to 30 days. A second, short-lived cookie protects Google sign-in and is removed when it finishes.
• We count page views and button clicks without cookies. A visitor is a one-way hash of address, browser and day, so we can count people once a day but cannot trace anyone later. Vercel Web Analytics counts visits the same cookie-free way.
• No advertising cookies or trackers.

The business list is built from public records: state business registries and federal loan and benefit-plan filings. For some businesses we add contact details published on the business's own website. Business names and contact details are shown only to signed-in members. If you own a listed business and want something corrected or removed, email us.

• Vercel hosts the site. Neon stores the database.
• Stripe handles payments. Resend sends our emails.
• Anthropic processes messages you send to the deal flow agent so it can answer.
• Google handles sign-in if you choose it.

We don't sell your information or share it for advertising. We don't email you about other people's activity.

Email ty@beforemarket.club to see what we hold about you, correct it, or delete your account. We keep the NDA signing record and payment records where we need them to show what was agreed or paid.

If this policy changes, the date below changes with it. Big changes we tell members about by email.
