Terms & Conditions

The terms for using Pitch Companies

Last updated October 26, 2026.

By creating an account you're agreeing to these terms, which cover the website and the Pitch Companies mobile apps. We've tried to write them the way we'd want to read them — see Privacy Policy for the companion page about data specifically.

Your account

One account per person. You're responsible for what happens under your account, so keep your password to yourself. Company-rep accounts are verified against a work-email domain match at sign-up — misrepresenting who you work for is grounds for removal.

Your content

You own what you post. By posting an idea, comment, vote, or reaction, you give us the right to display it publicly — that's the entire point of the site, and it's not optional the way data sharing below is. Everything you post has to follow the community rules below.

Community rules

Pitch Companies has zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive users. Criticize companies all you like, but don't post:

  • harassment, bullying, or threats against anyone
  • hate speech, slurs, or attacks on people for who they are
  • sexual or explicit content
  • spam, ads, scams, or anything illegal
  • other people's private information, or posts pretending to be someone else

A filter blocks abusive language before it's posted. Content that breaks these rules is removed, and the accounts that post it are banned.

Reporting and blocking

Every idea, comment, and petition has a ⋯ menu to report it or to block the person who posted it. Blocking hides everything that person posts from you, and they aren't told. We review every report within 24 hours. A post reported by three different people is hidden from everyone until we've reviewed it.

Playing fair

No coordinated voting, fake accounts, or attempts to game the rankings — see methodology for how we enforce one vote per verified account at the database level. No scraping the site to rebuild it elsewhere.

Aggregated data sharing

This is the part worth reading closely. Separately from running the site, we may share or sell aggregated, de-identified data about how Pitch Companies gets used — things like which industries or categories draw the most votes, or overall participation trends — to third parties such as market research firms or analytics partners.

That never includes your name, email, password, or any individual account's activity in a form that identifies you. It's patterns across many users, not your data specifically.

It's never a condition of using the site: there's a separate checkbox for it at sign-up (checked by default, since it helps fund the site), and you can turn it on or off anytime from your profile settings. Turning it off doesn't affect anything else about your account.

Ending an account

You can delete your account anytime from your profile page, on the website or in the app. Deleting is permanent and removes your profile and everything you posted — see Privacy Policy. We can suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms.

The fine print

Pitch Companies is provided as-is, without warranty. We're not affiliated with any company listed on the site — see methodology for what that does and doesn't mean. To the extent the law allows, we're not liable for damages arising from your use of the site.

Changes

If these terms change materially, we'll update the date at the top of this page.
