North Star AI Consultation

Privacy, without the legalese

Last updated: August 3, 2026

This page tells you what information this site collects, what we do with it, and how to make us delete it. No legalese: if anything here is unclear, ask us and we'll answer straight.

The short version

We collect what you type into the booking form, and we use it for exactly one thing: running your session. We don't sell it, we don't share it with advertisers, and if you want it gone, you ask and we delete it.

What we collect, and why

The booking form asks for your name, the kind of work you do, what brought you here, what you've tried with AI so far, how you feel about tech, what would make working with us a win for you, your email, your phone number (the free intro call happens over the phone, so we need a number to call), an optional note, and which language you'd like to speak. Those answers go to our inbox so we can prepare for your free call. That's their whole job.

One more honest detail: right after you send the form, an AI (Anthropic's Claude, the same company behind our chat agent) turns your answers into a short private prep sheet so we walk into your session already oriented. That prep sheet goes only to our own inbox. It's never shown to you, never published, and never used for anything but your session.

You also get one confirmation email back, so you know your answers landed and have our number if anything breaks. That's the only email the form sends you: no mailing list, no follow-up drip.

The Solution Finder on the home page (the pick-your-work, pick-your-problem tool) never asks for your name or email, and the taps you make in it stay in your browser. The one exception is honest and small: if you then send the booking form, the two picks you made ride along with your answers, and the form tells you so right there, with a way to leave them out.

Setting the time happens the direct way right now: after you send the form, we reach out by text or email. Our booking calendar tool (Cal.com) is switched off for the moment, so no scheduling tool touches your info. If we switch it back on, this page will say so.

The form also runs a quick bot check by Cloudflare called Turnstile. It looks at technical signals from your browser to tell people from bots, and it may set a cookie of its own for that check. We never see those signals, just a pass or fail.

Polaris, the chat tab in the corner, is a live AI agent working on this site, the same kind we set up for clients. It never opens by itself, and it runs the same Turnstile bot check before your first message. What you type in the chat is sent to Anthropic (the company behind Claude) to generate the reply, and we keep an anonymous copy of the conversation for 30 days, no name or address attached, so we can read what people ask and make the agent better. After 30 days it deletes itself. Please don't type passwords, card numbers, or anything sensitive into the chat; it's for questions, not paperwork.

Cookies, the whole story

No ad cookies, no analytics cookies. If visitor counting is on, it's Cloudflare Web Analytics, the cookie-free kind: it counts page views without identifying you and can't follow you to other sites.

The built-in tools may set their own cookies to do their jobs: Cloudflare's Turnstile bot check can set one for the check itself. That's a security cookie that makes the site work, not tracking, and Cloudflare's own privacy policy covers it.

That's also why there's no cookie banner here: there is nothing optional to consent to.

Who else touches your data

No one, except the tools that make the site work: Cloudflare hosts the site, runs the bot check, and stores the chat agent's anonymous transcripts. Resend delivers the form emails. Anthropic processes chat messages to generate Polaris's replies, and your booking-form answers to draft our internal prep notes. Google runs our calendar and email. Each one processes your data only to do its job.

What we never do

We don't sell your information. We don't hand it to ad networks. There are no ad trackers on this site.

This site doesn't track you across other websites, and it doesn't respond to a browser's “Do Not Track” signal, because there's nothing here for it to switch off.

Your California rights

California privacy law gives people the right to know what a business holds about them, to correct it, and to delete it. The big version of that law technically covers businesses far larger than this one, but we honor those requests from anyone anyway: email or text us, and we act on it within a few days. No forms, no hoops.

We don't sell or share your personal information, so there is nothing to opt out of.

This site is for adults

Our services are for adults and businesses. We don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 13, and if we learn we have, we delete it. Tell us and it's gone.

See it, change it, delete it

Want to know what we have about you, fix it, or have us erase it? Email or text us (the details are right below) and we'll do it and confirm within a few days.

If this page changes

If we change how the site handles your information, we'll update this page and move the date at the top before the change takes effect.
