Most privacy policies seem to be written for a lawyer who is never going to read them either, which is a strange way to handle a document that's supposed to be about trust. This one is short enough to finish in a couple of minutes. If anything in it doesn't match what you thought was happening, write to us and we'll either fix it or explain ourselves.

Our host and our analytics record the ordinary things every web server sees: the pages you opened, roughly where in the world you are, what browser you used, what site sent you here, and when. We look at that in aggregate to work out which pages are worth keeping. We do not try to work out who you are from it, and we couldn't reliably do so if we tried.
Subscribing to The TL;DR, filling out the contact form, registering for the meetup, or enrolling in a course means giving us your name and email, plus whatever you choose to type into the boxes. We keep it so we can do the thing you asked for and follow up like a person would. We don't buy contact lists, and we don't add people to the newsletter because we met them once.
Client engagements involve documents, interviews, survey responses, and sometimes things people would rather their boss didn't read verbatim. That material is governed by the agreement we sign with your organization, not by this page, and it's handled as confidential by default.
We're a small company running on other people's software, and telling you which software seemed more useful than a paragraph about trusted partners. So here's the list. Each one has its own privacy policy and its own copy of whatever it handles for us.
Beyond those, we hand over personal information only when the law requires it, or where we believe in good faith that we have to in order to protect somebody.
We sell AI governance work, so being cagey in this section would be a bad look. We use AI tools every day for drafting, for analysis, and for the administrative sludge nobody misses. Everything that reaches you has been through a person first.
Every email we send has an unsubscribe link and it works immediately. If you'd rather we deleted what we hold entirely, ask and we'll do it, then confirm when it's done. You don't have to tell us why, and you don't have to live anywhere in particular to ask.
We keep contact information for as long as there's a live reason to, then we don't. Client work is kept per the agreement covering it.
We link out. Once you've followed a link you're on somebody else's site under somebody else's rules, and we have no control over what happens there.
This site is for people at work. It isn't aimed at children and we don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 16, so if we've somehow ended up with some, tell us and it goes.
Some of our material references CliftonStrengths. Gallup doesn't sponsor or endorse any of it, and every opinion or interpretation of strengths content you find here is ours alone.
We'll update this page when what we do changes, and we'll move the date at the top when we do. Carrying on using the site after that means you're fine with the new version. If a change is significant, subscribers will hear about it in The TL;DR rather than finding out by accident.
Questions, corrections, or a deletion request: say hello.
Tell us what's going on with AI where you work and we'll point you at the right first step, even if it isn't one of ours.
