Privacy

This site has one form. What you type into it comes to me by email and sits in a database I control. Nothing is sold, and nothing is shared with anyone except the three services named below that are needed to run it.

There are no advertising trackers. There are analytics cookies — I use a tool called PostHog to see how many people reach the form and where they give up on it. It records what you click, not what you type: every field on this site is masked, so the words you write are never captured.

• Your name and email address, because I can't reply otherwise.
• Your phone number, only if you choose to give it. The field is optional and staying blank costs you nothing.
• The idea you write, exactly as you submit it.
• Your browser's user agent, and a one-way hash of your IP address. The raw IP is never stored — only a scrambled version that can't be turned back into an address. It exists to stop one source flooding the form, and nothing else.
• Where you arrived from, if a link carried a campaign tag or your browser sent a referring page. This tells me which of my efforts are working.
• Whether you used the microphone — just yes or no, so I know whether the feature is worth keeping.

The form has a Speak it button that turns speech into text. It uses a feature built into your browser, and it only runs while you have pressed the button and granted permission.

In Chrome and other Chromium-based browsers, your audio is sent to Google's servers to be transcribed. It is not processed on your device, and it is not processed by me. That transfer is between you, your browser, and Google, and is governed by Google's privacy policy rather than this one.

I never receive or store the audio. I only receive the text that ends up in the box — the same text you could have typed — and you can edit or delete it before submitting. If you'd rather none of that happen, don't press the button; typing works exactly the same.

In browsers without this feature, such as Firefox, the button doesn't appear at all.

As you type, the form keeps a copy of what you've written in your own browser's local storage, so a refresh or a dead battery doesn't lose a long idea. That copy stays on your device, is never sent anywhere on its own, and is deleted once you submit successfully. Clearing your browser data removes it.

The analytics tool described below also sets a cookie, so that a second visit is recognised as the same person rather than a new one. That is the only cookie this site sets.

I use PostHog to understand how this site is used — specifically how many people reach the idea form and where they abandon it. That is the only question it exists to answer.

It records pages visited, where you arrived from, what you clicked, and roughly where in the world you are. It also records a session replay: a reconstruction of your visit, like watching a screen recording of the pages and clicks.

Every input on this site is masked in those recordings. Your name, your email, your phone number, and the idea itself are replaced with placeholder characters before anything leaves your browser. I can see that you typed in a field and how long you spent there. I cannot see what you wrote. The words only reach me when you press the button and they go into the database.

There is no cookie banner on this site, and I would rather say why than let you notice. This is a one-person business working with people in Florida and around the US, and a consent dialog on the first screen would get in the way of the one thing this site is for. If you would rather not be measured at all, a browser's "do not track" setting is respected, and any content blocker will stop it outright — neither affects the form, which works exactly the same either way.

PostHog processes this on my behalf under its own privacy policy. You can ask me to delete your recordings, the same as anything else here.

Three services, all only as much as they need:

• Resend delivers the confirmation email to you and the notification to me, so it processes your name, email address, and the text of your idea.
• Railway hosts the site and the database, so your submission is stored on their infrastructure.
• PostHog receives the analytics described above — pages, clicks, and masked session replays. It never receives the contents of the form.

Nothing is sold, rented, or handed to advertisers. I'd disclose information if a valid legal process required it, and I'd tell you unless prohibited from doing so.

Submissions are kept while they might still turn into work, and as a record of projects that did. Rate-limiting records are deleted automatically after an hour.

You can ask me to delete your submission at any time and I will, except where I need to keep a record of an actual engagement for tax or contractual reasons. Just email and ask — no form, no argument.

Write to [email protected] to see what I hold about you, correct it, or have it deleted. I'll respond within 30 days.

This site is meant for adults running businesses. It isn't directed at children, and I don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 13.

If what's collected changes, this page changes with it and the date at the top moves. See also the terms, including the part about ideas not being confidential.
