Privacy Policy

Last updated August 28, 2026

The Rails Guild is run by Joel Gaff, Jr. The official entity behind it is Endurance Evolution, LLC. This policy explains what we collect, why, and what we do with it. The short version: we collect what the directory needs to work, we show what you choose to publish, and we sell nothing.

What we collect

• Your email address. Used to sign you in with a one-time code and to send you mail about your account. It is never shown publicly.
• Your public profile. Name, bio, location, links, avatar, and the products you add. You publish these yourself and they are visible to anyone.
• Verification data. When you verify a product we fetch your site and record the result of each check.
• A session cookie. One signed cookie keeps you logged in. We use no analytics trackers and no advertising cookies.

How it is processed

Your data is stored with reputable hosting providers. If you set a location, we convert it to map coordinates with a mapping service so you can appear on the guild globe. Login codes and account email go out through a standard email delivery service.

What we do not do

• We do not sell or rent your data.
• We do not show you tracked advertising. Sponsor plaques are plain links.
• We do not pull data about you from other services.

Your choices

You can edit or remove anything on your profile at any time. To delete your account and everything attached to it, email hello@railsguild.com and we will remove it.
