Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 23, 2026
Who we are
withclaude is an independent project run by Phil Rivard, based in Quebec, Canada. If you have questions about this policy or your data, email privacy@withclaude.io.
What we collect and why
| Data | Why | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Name and email | To contact you about your application | Your consent (form submission) |
| Application answers (3 questions) | To evaluate fit for the program | Your consent (form submission) |
| Approximate location (country, city, region) | To understand where interest comes from | Your consent (form submission) |
| How you found us (referring page, campaign tags) | To understand which channels bring sign-ups | Your consent (form submission) |
| Page views (anonymous) | To understand site traffic | Not applicable: aggregate, cookieless page-view counts; no personal information is retained |
Location is derived from your IP address at the time of submission. We store the city, region, and country — not the IP address itself.
What we don't do
- We never sell your data to anyone.
- We don't run ads or share data with advertisers.
- We don't use your data for AI model training.
- We don't track you across other websites.
Who has access to your data
Only Phil Rivard reviews applications. Your data is stored using the following services:
- Airtable (United States) — stores application submissions
- Vercel (United States) — hosts the website and processes form submissions
- Vercel Analytics (United States) — anonymous, aggregate page view counting without third-party cookies
- Cloudflare Turnstile — bot protection on the form, no tracking cookies
Because these services are based in the United States, your data may be transferred outside of Canada or the European Union. By submitting the form, you acknowledge this transfer.
Cookies
Our analytics, Vercel Web Analytics, counts page views without third-party cookies. Instead of a cookie, a visit is identified by a hash created from the incoming request, and that visitor session is automatically discarded after 24 hours. It collects no personal identifiers that track you across different applications or websites. Page views are recorded anonymously without being tied to any individual or IP address, and the data is used for aggregated statistics only. Because of that, it loads for every visitor, with no banner to accept.
Cloudflare Turnstile may set a functional cookie for its bot check. It is used only to protect the form from bots, never for tracking.
Your rights
Regardless of where you live, you have the right to:
- Access — request a copy of your data
- Correct — fix any inaccurate information
- Delete — ask us to remove your data entirely
- Withdraw consent — you can ask us to stop processing at any time
To exercise any of these rights, email privacy@withclaude.io. We'll respond within 30 days.
Data retention
We keep application submissions for up to 12 months after the program concludes. If you request deletion, we'll remove your data within 30 days.
Security
All data is transmitted over HTTPS. Access to the application database is restricted to Phil Rivard. We don't store passwords because we don't have accounts.
Changes to this policy
If we make significant changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page. For a simple landing page, that's the most honest approach — no one reads update emails about privacy policies.
