What is collected
Your email address, if you submit the signup form. That is the only piece of personal information this site asks for. There is no name field, no company field, and nothing is inferred about you.
Standard server logs. The site is hosted on Cloudflare. Like every web host, Cloudflare records requests — IP address, timestamp, browser user-agent — for security and abuse prevention. These logs are handled by Cloudflare under their own privacy terms, and are not read, exported, or combined with anything else.
What is not collected
- No cookies. This site sets none. Not for analytics, not for preferences, not for anything.
- No analytics or tracking scripts. There is no Google Analytics, no Facebook pixel, no session recording, no heatmaps.
- No advertising trackers and no data sold or shared with advertisers.
- No browser storage. Nothing is written to localStorage or sessionStorage.
This is verifiable — view the page source. The only script on the site is a small form validation file.
Who processes your email address
Email addresses are stored and sent through Kit (kit.com, formerly ConvertKit), an email service provider based in the United States. When you submit the form, your address goes to Kit, not to a database on this site.
Signup uses double opt-in: after submitting the form you receive a confirmation email, and you are not added to the list until you click the link in it. If you never click, your address is not subscribed.
The address is used for one purpose: sending you the emails described at the point of signup. It is never sold, rented, traded, or shared with any third party.
Search Console
This site is verified with Google Search Console using a meta tag. Search Console reports aggregate search performance — which queries showed the site in results — and does not identify individual visitors. It places no code on the page and collects nothing from your browser.
Contacting the site
If you email hello@honestaistack.com, that message is forwarded to a personal inbox and kept as long as needed to reply and keep a record of the conversation.
Your rights
Regardless of where you live, you can:
- Unsubscribe at any time. Every email has an unsubscribe link in the footer. One click, no questions, no retention email.
- Ask what is stored about you. Email the address above and you get an answer.
- Ask for your data to be deleted. Same address. Deletion means removal from Kit entirely, not just marking you unsubscribed.
- Ask for a correction if the stored address is wrong.
If you are in the EU, UK, or California, these are rights you already hold under the GDPR, UK GDPR, or CCPA. They are honoured here the same way for everyone, without needing to prove where you live.
How long data is kept
Email addresses are kept until you unsubscribe or ask for deletion. There is no automatic expiry, because the list is small and inactive addresses are not worth anything to anyone.
Children
This site is aimed at working freelancers and small agencies. It is not directed at children, and no data is knowingly collected from anyone under 16.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes materially — for example if analytics are ever added — the date at the top changes and the change is described here rather than quietly swapped in.
