What we collect, why, and our legal basis

We only collect data when necessary and rely on specific legal bases to process it:

Project Inquiries: If you send a project brief, we collect your name, work email, optional organization name, and the brief itself. Purpose: To review your request and reply. Legal Basis: Legitimate interest in responding to business inquiries and taking steps prior to entering a contract.

Readiness Check Drafts: The readiness check is scored locally in your browser. If you ask for a draft, your answers and descriptions are sent to our AI processor. Purpose: To generate the requested draft. Legal Basis: Performance of a contract/service at your request.

Analytics & Measurement (Optional): If you opt-in, we collect non-identifying data like your locale, service used, and page views. Purpose: To understand site traffic and measure advertising effectiveness. Legal Basis: Your explicit consent via our cookie banner.

How long we keep your data

Inquiries: Inquiry records are stored temporarily on our secure cloud infrastructure and emailed to our inbox. They expire and are automatically deleted after 30 days. We do not sell your inquiry data or use it for marketing.

Cookie Preferences: Your consent choices are saved locally in your browser for up to 180 days so we can remember your preferences.

Processors used to run the site (Who we share data with)

We use third-party service providers to operate this site. Your data may be transferred to or processed on servers outside of your home country. When this happens, we rely on standard legal safeguards like Standard Contractual Clauses.

Cloudflare: We use Cloudflare to host our website, temporarily store inquiry routing records, and run the optional draft-generation AI model. The AI drafting endpoint does not permanently store your text.

Google Analytics (Only if you consent): Records page views and privacy-safe events (like submitting a form). It is configured strictly for standard measurement without ad personalization. Your name, email, and message text are never sent to Google.

Taboola (Only if you consent): A measurement pixel used strictly to evaluate our advertising efforts.
