Privacy Policy.

01

Overview

The Build & Launch Co. ("we," "us," or "our") is operated by Templeton Image LLC. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit our website or interact with our services.

We built this company on the idea that creatives should own what they build. The same principle applies to your data — it's yours, not ours to monetize.

02

What We Collect

We collect information in two ways: information you give us directly, and basic technical data collected automatically.

Information you provide directly:

• Email address (when you join the waitlist or enter the giveaway)
• Name, email, and message content (when you contact us)
• Project details you share with us in conversation
• Instagram handle (if provided for giveaway entry)

Information collected automatically:

• Browser type and device type
• Pages visited and time on page
• Referring URL (where you came from)
• General geographic region (country/city level, not precise)

03

How We Use It

We use your information only for the purposes you'd reasonably expect:

• To send you launch updates and waitlist communications
• To notify giveaway entrants and announce the winner
• To respond to your questions and project inquiries
• To improve how the website works and what we offer
• To send you early access pricing or offers (only if you signed up for the waitlist)

We do not use your information for advertising, data profiling, or any purpose you didn't sign up for. Every email we send includes an unsubscribe link.

04

Who We Share With

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. Period.

We may share data with a small number of trusted service providers who help us operate, including:

• Email marketing platforms (e.g., Mailchimp or similar) — for sending waitlist and launch communications
• Analytics tools (e.g., Plausible or Google Analytics) — for understanding site traffic
• Payment processors (e.g., Stripe) — only when a transaction takes place

These providers are only permitted to use your data to perform services on our behalf, not for their own purposes.

05

Cookies

Our site may use cookies — small text files stored in your browser — to remember your preferences and understand how visitors use the site.

We use:

• Essential cookies (required for the site to function)
• Analytics cookies (to understand traffic patterns — anonymized where possible)

We do not use advertising or tracking cookies. You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time, though some site features may not function correctly as a result.

06

Data Retention

We retain your information for as long as necessary to provide the service you signed up for or as required by law.

Waitlist emails are kept until you unsubscribe or request deletion. Contact form submissions are kept for up to 2 years to provide continuity of service. You can request deletion at any time by emailing us.

07

Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your data ("right to be forgotten")
• Opt out of marketing communications at any time
• Request that we not sell your data (we don't, but the right still stands)

To exercise any of these rights, email us at hello@buildlaunchco.com. We'll respond within 30 days.

08

Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your data — including HTTPS encryption, secure third-party platforms, and limited internal access. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

If we ever become aware of a data breach that affects your information, we will notify you promptly.

09

Children's Privacy

Our services are intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 13. If you believe a child has submitted information to us, please contact us and we will delete it immediately.

10

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we'll update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. If changes are significant, we'll notify waitlist subscribers by email.

Continued use of our site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
