jenluther.com is a small advisory practice. This page explains, in plain language, what happens to your information when you visit jenluther.com, sign up for the newsletter, book a call, hire me, or interact with me in any way.

Short version: I collect as little as I can, I don’t sell or share it, I don’t use it to train AI, and our communications aren’t protected by attorney-client privilege because I’m not acting as your lawyer when you hire me through this site.

What I collect

Only what’s needed to do the thing you came here to do.

• If you book a call or hire me, I keep your name, email, phone if you share it, what we talk about, and the materials I produce for you. Payment is handled by Stripe — I never see or store your card number.

• If you fill out an inquiry form or survey, I keep your answers.

• If you visit the site, my host records the basics most websites record — pages viewed, rough location (country/region), browser type, how you got here. This is aggregated, not stitched together to identify you personally.

• If you follow, comment, or message me on social media, the platform holds that data under its own terms — I can only see what the platform shows me. When you DM me directly, I keep the conversation the way any person keeps the messages people send them.

• If we work together on an engagement, I keep what I need to deliver the work — meeting notes, drafts, your team’s feedback, and the deliverables themselves.

I don’t use cookies beyond what the site needs to work and what Stripe needs to process a payment. No advertising trackers. No Facebook pixel. No session replay.

What I do with it

• Run our calls, correspond with you, and deliver your work

• Bill you and pay my taxes

• Run a quick conflicts and fit check before any engagement

• Answer your emails and messages

• Learn from inquiry and survey responses (in aggregate — I won’t quote you by name without asking)

• Keep tax and accounting records the law requires me to keep

• Other things you’d expect a small business to do

What I don’t do with it

I do not sell or share your information. I do not rent it. I do not trade it. I do not share it with advertisers. I do not use it to train AI models — not mine, not anyone else’s. The whole reason a company hires me is to help them think clearly about exactly this kind of thing; it would be strange to do otherwise.

The small handful of services I rely on

Running this practice means a few trusted tools see your data because they have to:

• Squarespace — hosts the website

• Stripe — payments

• Google Workspace — email, calendar, file storage

• Notion — where I keep client notes and draft deliverables

• Claude (by Anthropic) — I use Claude as a writing and thinking assistant; it does not store or retain customer data

• LinkedIn and other social platforms — where I post and where you can follow, comment, or message; each platform sets its own terms for the data it collects from you

Each of these has its own privacy policy. I pick them carefully and I keep the list short on purpose. If I ever add a major new one, I’ll update this page.

How long I keep things

• Inquiry and intake records: until they stop being useful, then archived or deleted

• Engagement records and deliverables: until they stop being useful, then archived or deleted

• Email threads: until they stop being useful, then archived or deleted

Confidentiality, but not privilege

I treat what you share with me as confidential — but because I’m not acting as your lawyer when you hire me through this site, what we discuss is not protected by attorney-client privilege and could be subject to discovery or other legal process. If you need privileged communication, hire your own counsel.

Your rights

Wherever you live, you can ask me to:

• Show you what I have on you

• Correct anything that’s wrong

• Delete it

• Stop using it for a particular purpose

• Send you a copy in a portable format

Email shorehugger.co@gmail.com and we’ll handle it. No fee, no friction, no “are you sure?” loop. If you’re in California, the EU, the UK, or Canada you have specific named rights under CCPA/CPRA, GDPR, UK GDPR, and PIPEDA respectively — they’re all covered by the list above.

If you’re under 16, please don’t sign up for anything. I don’t knowingly collect data from kids (how would that be relevant?).

Security

Your information lives in the accounts named above, each protected with strong passwords, two-factor authentication, and the security their platforms provide. No system is perfect. If something ever goes wrong in a way that affects you, I’ll tell you directly and quickly.

Changes to this policy

If this page changes in a meaningful way, I’ll update the date at the top and — for anything material — send a note to the newsletter list. Small wording fixes won’t get an announcement.
