How usage measurement works.
Small, useful counts to help us improve discovery and decide what to build next.
Optional browsing counts
The control at the bottom of the page is off by default. If you enable it, we count public discovery and listing views, searches with or without results, and app or founder website clicks. We record only the type of action and a broad entry channel such as search, newsletter or referral.
We do not send your search words, page URLs, referrer URLs, repository addresses, reports, email or an advertising identifier with these events. We set no tracking cookie and do not follow you across websites. Your browser stores only your yes/no preference. Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track keeps this measurement off. You can turn it off at any time; already combined counts cannot be attributed back to you for removal.
Service activity and readiness
Separately, we count successful service actions such as verified listing claims, completed evaluations and published capabilities. These records use your existing account for up to 30 days to avoid counting the same person repeatedly. Account deletion removes those account-linked records. Existing listings, profiles and reports also supply aggregate current totals under their usual access and deletion rules.
Only configured operators can see the aggregate dashboard. Private searches, contact details and source findings are not shown there or given to advertisers. Operator and known internal accounts are excluded from founder-growth counts. Aggregate daily browsing counts are kept for up to 90 days; cleanup runs through the existing recovery job and readiness checks.
Counts do not authorize marketing
Readiness checks can notify an operator when measured progress and reviewed evidence meet a phase's requirements. They do not send you promotional email, enroll you in a trial, publish a listing or start spending. Email preferences, repository consent and public-profile publication remain separate choices.
