Privacy Policy

StickBuilt is operated by BlockBridge Funding, Inc., operating as StickBuilt ("StickBuilt," "we," "us"). This policy describes how we handle information when you use StickBuilt — the site and application at stickbuilt.app (the "Service"). The Blockbridge Funding lender website has its own privacy policy; this one covers the StickBuilt product.

Account information. When you create an account we collect your email address. Sign-in is handled by Google Firebase Authentication: if you use a password, Firebase stores it and it never reaches our servers; if you sign in with Google, we receive your email and basic profile information from your Google account.

Property research you submit. The addresses you look up and the details you provide about a property — renovation scope, condition, budget, and similar inputs — are stored with your account, along with the reports the Service generates from them, so you can retrieve your work.

Payment information. When paid subscriptions are active, payments are processed by Stripe. Card details go directly to Stripe and are never stored by us; we keep your plan and subscription status. During the beta period there is no billing and we collect no payment information.

Usage information. We record how the Service is used under your account — reports run, features used, timestamps, and the computational cost of requests — to enforce plan limits, rate limits, and abuse protections.

Technical information. Our infrastructure providers (Google Cloud and Vercel) keep standard server logs, which include IP address, browser type, and the pages or endpoints requested.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for advertising. The Service currently uses no advertising trackers and no third-party analytics. We do not buy data about you from data brokers. The property and market data behind our estimates comes from public records and commercial market sources and is about properties, not about you.

We use the information above to operate the Service: to authenticate you, generate and store your reports, enforce plan quotas and rate limits, secure the Service and prevent abuse, respond when you contact us, and satisfy legal obligations. We also look at usage patterns in aggregate to improve the product. Our valuation and zoning models are built from public records and market data — they are not trained on your personal information.

We share information only with the providers that run the Service, and only what each needs: Google Cloud and Firebase (application hosting, authentication, database, and report storage), Stripe (payment processing, when billing is active), Vercel (website hosting), and OpenAI (portions of zoning-report analysis — it receives property and zoning text for the report being generated, never your account information). These providers process data on our behalf under their own security and privacy commitments. We may also disclose information if required by law, or as part of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, in which case this policy would continue to apply to it.

We keep your account information, property inputs, and generated reports for as long as your account is active. Infrastructure logs rotate on a short schedule (typically around 30 days). If you delete your account or ask us to, we delete your personal information within a reasonable period, except records we must keep for legal, billing, or security reasons. Stripe and Firebase retain records they process per their own policies.

You can ask us to access, correct, export, or delete the personal information we hold about you by emailing hello@blockbridgefunding.com. We honor reasonable requests from any user regardless of whether a particular privacy law applies to us or to you, and we respond within 30 days. You can change your password and email through your account, and you can stop using the Service at any time.

The Service runs on Google Cloud with encryption in transit, access limited to those who need it, and monitoring on production systems. No online service can guarantee perfect security, but we work to protect your information and will notify you as required by law if a breach affects it.

The Service is for users 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18; if you believe we have, contact us and we will delete it.

We may update this policy as the Service or the law changes. Material changes will be communicated through the Service or by email, and the date at the top always reflects the current version.
