Welcome to the govFoundry™ website (https://govfoundry.co/). We are govFoundry, and we value your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, and how we protect it in a clear and simple way.
Important Changes Reflected Below:
- No Login Credentials: Our website does not have a login system and therefore does not store credentials (usernames or passwords).
- No Third-Party Marketing: We do not share your Personal Information with third parties for marketing or promotional reasons.
- No Direct Sales: We do not sell anything directly on our website. We do not collect, process, or share your financial information. Any mention of billing or payment information refers to trusted third-party platforms that handle service purchases (such as authorized government aggregators like Carahsoft), not our internal servers.
