Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 9, 2026
Tanfust ("we," "us," or "our") operates TanStart (tanstart.app). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our token-based launch asset workbench.
Our Privacy Philosophy
TanStart is built with a minimal-data approach. We collect only what is necessary to deliver the service, process payments, and improve the product. Your generated assets belong to you. We do not sell, share, or harvest your data for marketing purposes.
Definitions
For the purposes of this Privacy Policy:
- Company (referred to as "Tanfust", "We", "Us" or "Our") refers to Tanfust, operating the TanStart launch asset workbench.
- Service refers to the TanStart website and tools accessible at tanstart.app.
- Personal Data is any information that relates to an identified or identifiable individual.
- Usage Data refers to data collected automatically about how you use our Service.
- Account means a unique account created for accessing the Service.
- Tokens means the unit of currency used to access asset generation features within the Service.
- Generated Assets means icons, OG images, legal documents, device mockups, copywriting, meta reports, and other non-code launch materials created using our Service.
- AI-Generated Content means assets produced with assistance from artificial intelligence models.
What Data We Collect
Account Information
When you create an account, we collect:
- Email address (via email/password or OAuth providers through Supabase Auth)
- OAuth profile information (name, avatar) if using social login
- Account preferences and project settings
- Token balance and purchase history
An account is required to use TanStart. All new accounts receive free tokens to get started.
Project Data
When you use our asset generation features, we collect:
- Project names and descriptions you provide
- Inputs you supply for asset generation (brand names, colors, URLs, descriptions, uploaded images)
- Generated assets, which are stored for download and future access
Usage Data
We automatically collect limited usage data to improve our service:
- Browser type and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages visited, features used, and time spent
- Referring website
- General location (country/region level only)
We use PostHog for product analytics.
Payment Information
All payment processing is handled by Stripe, Inc. We do not directly collect, store, or process your payment card details. When you purchase tokens, your card information is sent directly to Stripe through their secure checkout. We never have access to your full card number, CVV, or other sensitive payment details.
Stripe may collect:
- Name and billing address
- Payment method details (handled securely by Stripe)
- Transaction data (amount, currency, timestamp)
- Device and browser information for fraud prevention
We receive only:
- Customer ID (Stripe reference)
- Purchase history and token balance
- Billing email
For details on how Stripe handles your data, see Stripe's Privacy Policy.
Error and Performance Data
We use Sentry for error monitoring and performance tracking. Sentry may collect:
- Error stack traces (no personal data included)
- Browser and operating system information
- Performance metrics
How We Use Your Data
We use your information only for:
- Service Delivery: Generating launch assets based on your inputs (icons, OG images, legal documents, mockups, copywriting, meta reports)
- AI Processing: Sending your inputs to AI models to generate assets (see AI Data Processing section)
- Image Processing: Server-side image generation and manipulation
- Account Management: Managing your account, token balance, projects, and authentication
- Service Improvement: Understanding how people use TanStart to make it better (via PostHog)
- Security: Detecting and preventing abuse, fraud, and security issues
- Transactional Communication: Sending account-related emails (via Resend)
- Legal Compliance: Meeting our legal obligations
We do NOT use your data for:
- Marketing or promotional emails (unless you explicitly opt-in)
- Selling or sharing with third parties for their marketing
- Tracking you across other websites
- Building advertising profiles
Server-Side Processing
TanStart processes your inputs on our servers to generate assets. This means:
- Text inputs, uploaded images, and project data you provide are sent to our servers
- Image processing (icon generation, OG images, mockups) runs on serverless functions
- Generated assets are stored on our infrastructure for you to download and access
- AI-powered features send your inputs to third-party AI providers (see below)
AI Data Processing
Certain TanStart features use artificial intelligence to generate assets:
- Icon generation uses AI image models (via Replicate) to create brand icons from your prompts and style preferences
- Legal document generation uses large language models (via Vercel AI SDK) to produce privacy policies, terms of service, and other legal documents based on your project details
- Copywriting generation uses large language models to create landing page copy, app store descriptions, and other marketing text
What data is sent to AI providers:
- Project name and description
- Text prompts and style preferences you provide
- Selected service categories and questionnaire answers (for legal docs)
What is NOT sent to AI providers:
- Your email address or password
- Payment or billing information
- Analytics or usage data
We do not use your inputs to train our own AI models. Third-party AI providers may have their own data processing policies — see the Third-Party Services section for links to their privacy policies.
Important: AI-generated content, especially legal documents, is provided as a starting point and should be reviewed by a qualified professional before use. AI-generated content does not constitute legal advice.

Cookies and Tracking

- Analytics: PostHog for understanding usage patterns
We do NOT use:
- Advertising cookies
- Cross-site tracking cookies
