Draft for review. Bracketed items are placeholders to be filled in before launch.

What we collect

  • Business owners: your name, email, password (stored securely, never readable by us), business details, business story, and applications.
  • Contributors: your name, email, the program you chose, and the amount.
  • Update sign-ups: your email, if you opt in.

Payments

Card payments and award payouts are handled by Stripe. FirstSeed never sees or stores your full card number or bank details.

How we use it

  • To review applications, pay awards, and send receipts and status emails.
  • Application stories are seen only by FirstSeed reviewers and are never published. Any public impact story is a separate step that needs your approval.
  • If you opt in to updates, we store your email. We don't sell personal information.
