Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

This policy describes current practices on stewlabs.com for Stewart Labs LLC. Stewart Labs LLC is the intended entity name, with formation planned for January 2027. Questions about this policy or your information can be sent to ben@stewlabs.com.

2. Information you give us

Newsletter: when you subscribe through /api/subscribe, the application database stores your email address, source page path and signup timestamp. The current website implementation does not automatically send newsletter emails.

Staff waitlist: /api/staff-waitlist stores your email address, selected role and signup timestamp in the application database. The same email and role combination is stored once; an email can join more than one role's waitlist. Your email is used only for updates about that role's availability. Joining a waitlist does not enroll you in the newsletter, and no automatic emails are sent at this stage.

Growth audit: /api/growth-audits stores your name, email address, website URL, business type, service area, optional phone number, whether you run ads, priority areas, your goal, submission timestamp and request status in the application database. The current implementation does not automatically email the submitter.

Business questionnaire: the final submission from /get-started is sent to Formspree, a third-party form receipt service. It includes the business, contact, selected-role and growth-goal answers you provide. Before you submit, questionnaire answers remain in page memory and are not persisted in the application database. Formspree handles the submitted form under its own practices.

3. How information is used and shared

Stewart Labs LLC uses the information you submit to handle your request, assess the business needs you describe and respond about the requested service. Newsletter signups and role-availability waitlists are separate. We do not sell personal information.

Newsletter, waitlist and growth-audit records are stored in the application's PostgreSQL database. The application uses token-protected administrative endpoints to inspect these records; there is no public signup list. The questionnaire is received by Formspree rather than stored by the application's lead forms.

4. Analytics, cookies and browser storage

The website includes the Fathom Analytics script to measure website usage. Loading that script makes a request to Fathom, whose handling of analytics information is governed by its own practices. The current application source includes no PostHog, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager or Meta Pixel integration.

The marketing-page forms do not rely on marketing cookies, localStorage or sessionStorage to retain your answers. There is no public account login. This description concerns the website's own implementation and does not make promises about third-party services' storage or tracking practices.

The form endpoints use temporary in-memory IP-based rate limits and hidden spam-trap fields to reduce abuse. The application logs API request paths, response status and timing, but excludes response bodies for the lead-form and admin endpoints.

5. Payments and third parties

There is no payment or checkout processor integrated on the website as of the last-updated date. Hire buttons lead to a business questionnaire, not a card-payment form.

Formspree receives final questionnaire submissions. Fathom provides website analytics. These are separate providers, and their policies govern their own services. Contact ben@stewlabs.com if you have questions before submitting information.

6. Retention and your choices

Database signups and audit requests remain stored unless removed; the current application does not implement a fixed automatic deletion schedule. Formspree controls retention within its service. We do not promise a retention period for that provider.

You can choose not to submit a form. To request access to, correction of, or deletion of information you submitted, or to withdraw interest in a newsletter or role waitlist, email ben@stewlabs.com. Stewart Labs LLC will review the request, may need to verify that it concerns your information, and will explain any applicable legal limits on fulfilling it.

7. Children

This website is intended for business users, not children under 13. Please do not submit children's personal information. If you believe a child has submitted information, contact ben@stewlabs.com so Stewart Labs LLC can review and address it.

8. Changes and contact

Stewart Labs LLC may update this policy as practices change. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised last-updated date. For questions about current practices or privacy choices, contact ben@stewlabs.com.
