Your Privacy, in Plain English

AI-Driven. Human-Led. Positive Deviant Powered.

We sell signals, not data.

Plain and simple: what you share here belongs to you. We never sell it, and we never use it to teach public AI tools. You can read the details below — every word is written in everyday language, because privacy shouldn't need a lawyer to understand.

Bank-level security, kept separate.
Your information is protected with the same security banks use, and kept separate from everyone else's.

Straight Answers to Common Questions

What information do we collect?

Very little. We only receive information you choose to give us — like your name and email when you sign up for an event or ask us a question. If you're just browsing or playing our games, we don't ask who you are at all.

Should I be worried about AI?

No — and here's why. We use AI the way you'd use a very fast assistant: it helps us read your plan and pull together the right resources in minutes instead of weeks. A person is always in charge of how it's used (that's the "Human-Led" part of our motto).

Our answers come from our own carefully built library of community knowledge — not from scraping the internet. And your plans and stories are never used to teach public AI tools (like the big chatbots everyone talks about).

Why do you work so fast? Is anything being rushed?

Fast doesn't mean careless. Our tools do the heavy lifting so you're not waiting weeks for answers. Every privacy promise on this page applies every single time — speed never changes that.

What happens when I ask a question or search?

Your question is saved without your name attached, so we can make our answers better for everyone. Think of it like dropping a note in a shared suggestion box — it helps the next person, but no one knows it was you.

What happens to the plan I upload?

When you upload a work plan for review, the file is saved at a secure web link instead of in a locked vault — that's a limit of our current platform. In plain terms: the file isn't listed, shared, or shown anywhere, and the link is long and nearly impossible to guess. Only our review step uses it.

If you'd rather not upload a file at all, that's completely fine — you can simply type your plan into the form instead, and nothing is saved as a file.

What about cookies?

We use only the small bits of code ("cookies") the site needs to work properly. No trackers following you around the internet, and no third-party advertising cookies.

Do we share your information with anyone?

No. We don't sell, trade, or share your personal information with anyone. Your questions are answered in the moment and never tied to your identity — we believe in helping people without watching them.

Can everyone use this site?

Yes — that's a promise, not a goal. We follow the WCAG 2.1 Level AA and AODA accessibility standards, and we design for real people:

Black text on a white background, so words are easy to see.
Text is at least 16px, with strong contrast throughout.
You can navigate the whole site with just a keyboard.
Buttons and links describe themselves clearly.
Works on phones, tablets, and computers alike.

If anything on this site is hard for you to use, please tell us and we'll fix it.
