Founder Profile Opt-Out

Who can request removal

Anyone profiled on a /founder/[handle] page. Requests must come from the verified email associated with the public-figure identity — typically a corporate email matching the affiliation listed on the page, or an email at the domain referenced in the self-published source.

How to request removal

Email opt-out@gitdealflow.com with:

• The exact URL of the /founder/[handle] page you want removed.
• A statement that you are the person profiled.
• Verification — sent from an email at a domain that matches the affiliation or the self-published source already cited on the page.

What happens next

• Within 7 business days of verification, the page is removed.
• The URL then returns HTTP 410 Gone (not 404), signaling to search engines that the page intentionally no longer exists.
• The handle is added to a permanent blocklist so the page cannot be re-generated by future content updates.
• You receive a confirmation email when the removal is complete.

Scope of this opt-out

This opt-out covers the /founder/[handle] entity page only. It does not remove the underlying public GitHub data (that data is hosted by GitHub, not by us). It does not remove your name from public-figure mentions inside other articles where the mention is incidental to the article's topic. For those cases, contact us at opt-out@gitdealflow.com and we will review on a case-by-case basis.
