1. What we collect

Information you give us

• Booking a call. When you schedule through Calendly, we receive your name, email address and anything you choose to add, such as your company, phone number or the reason for the call.
• Contacting us. If you email, call or text, we receive your contact details and whatever you include in the message.
• Working with us. If you become a client, we collect the contact, billing and business information needed to deliver and invoice the work.

Information collected automatically

• Technical data. Like most websites, our hosting provider (GitHub Pages) and our demo server automatically receive your IP address, browser and device type, the pages you request and the date and time of each request. We may infer an approximate location from your IP address.
• Demo usage. See The live demo below.

We don't collect information about you from data brokers or other third parties.

2. How we use it

• To schedule and hold calls, answer your questions and follow up with you.
• To deliver, support and invoice work you engage us for.
• To run, secure and improve the website and the live demo, including preventing abuse and limiting how many questions can be asked per hour.
• To understand, in aggregate, how the Services are used.
• To send occasional updates, only if you've asked for them. You can stop them at any time.
• To meet legal obligations and to protect our rights.

3. When and with whom we share it

We share personal information only in these situations:

• Service providers that help us run the business, such as Calendly (scheduling), GitHub (website hosting), our email and phone providers, and our accounting and payment providers. They may use your information only to provide their service to us.
• Legal requirements, when we believe disclosure is required by law, court order or other legal process, or is needed to protect the rights, property or safety of ICONIC, our clients or others.
• Business transfers, in connection with a merger, sale of assets, financing or acquisition of all or part of the business.
• With your consent, for any other purpose you agree to.

We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

4. The live demo

The live demo is a private AI running on our own computer in Seattle. It answers questions about two fictional companies.

• Your questions are processed on that computer. They are not sent to OpenAI, Anthropic, Google or any other AI company.
• The first part of each question may appear briefly in the demo's public activity log, which other visitors can see.
• The demo keeps anonymous counts of conversations and of the connections it learns between documents. These counts don't identify you.
• Your IP address is used to limit how many questions can be asked per hour and to prevent abuse.

Please don't type personal, confidential or sensitive information into the demo.

5. Cookies and tracking

iconic.onl itself does not set advertising or tracking cookies, and we don't use analytics that build a profile of you. When you open the booking calendar, Calendly may set its own cookies to make scheduling work. Those are governed by Calendly's privacy notice. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Some features, such as booking, may not work without them.

6. Third-party websites

The Services link to other websites and services, such as Calendly and the sources we cite. We aren't responsible for their content or their privacy and security practices. Please review their policies before giving them any information.

7. How long we keep it

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes in this policy. For example, booking and contact details are kept while we're in touch and for a reasonable time afterward, client records are kept as long as tax, accounting or legal rules require, and demo rate-limit data is kept only briefly. When we no longer need information, we delete or anonymize it.

8. How we keep it safe

We use reasonable organizational and technical safeguards, including encrypted connections and keeping client work on hardware we or our clients control. No system is perfectly secure, so we can't guarantee absolute security. Sending information to us is at your own risk.

9. Minors

The Services are for businesses and adults. We don't knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has given us information, contact us and we'll delete it.

10. Your privacy rights

Wherever you live, you can ask us to:

• tell you what personal information we hold about you and give you a copy;
• correct information that's inaccurate;
• delete your information;
• stop sending you updates or other marketing.

Email patrick@iconic.onl. We'll confirm your request and respond within 45 days. We may need to verify your identity first, and we may keep some information where the law requires it or to prevent fraud.

11. U.S. state privacy rights

Residents of California, Washington and other states with consumer privacy laws may have additional rights, including the rights to know, access, correct, delete and port personal information, to opt out of its sale, sharing for targeted advertising or profiling, and not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights.

Categories of personal information we have collected in the past 12 months: identifiers (such as name, email address, phone number and IP address), commercial information (such as services discussed or purchased), and internet activity (such as requests to our website and demo). These come from you and from your device, and are used and shared only as described above. We have not sold or shared personal information as those terms are defined under California law.

You may use an authorized agent to make a request. If we deny your request, you may appeal by emailing us with "Appeal" in the subject line. If you're not satisfied with the result, you may contact your state attorney general. California residents may also request information about disclosures for direct-marketing purposes under California's "Shine the Light" law. We don't make such disclosures.

12. Do-Not-Track and Global Privacy Control

There's no common standard for Do-Not-Track browser signals, so we don't respond to them. Because we don't sell or share personal information for targeted advertising, there's nothing to opt out of. We nonetheless treat a Global Privacy Control signal as a valid opt-out request.

13. Client data

When we set up private AI for a client, that client's files stay on the client's own computer. We maintain the software, not the files, and access is governed by our written agreement with that client, not by this policy.

14. Updates to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The updated version will be posted here with a new "Last updated" date. If a change is material, we'll make it prominent on the site.
