Privacy Policy

The short version

I'm a solo AI trainer and advisor. This site collects only the information you choose to send me through the contact and booking forms, and I use it only to respond to you and deliver the services you ask about. I don't sell your information. I don't run ad-tracking pixels. If you ever want your information deleted, email me and it's done.

Who runs this site

This site (stephenthorn.com) is operated by Stephen Thorn, based in Pittsboro, North Carolina. You can reach me at stephenthornai@gmail.com for any privacy question or request.

What I collect

• Information you submit in forms. The contact form and the booking form ask for things like your name, email address, organization, audience type, and a short description of what you're looking for. You provide this voluntarily.
• Calendar bookings. If you schedule a call, you provide your name, email, and any details you add when booking.
• Basic technical data. Like most websites, my hosting and content-delivery providers may automatically log standard technical information (such as IP address, browser type, and pages visited) for security and performance. This is not used to personally profile you.

How I use it

• To respond to your message or inquiry.
• To prepare for and schedule a call you requested.
• To deliver the training or advisory services you ask about.
• To keep the site secure and working.

I do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to anyone.

Third-party services I use

To run the site and respond to you, I rely on a few reputable third-party services. When you use a form or link that involves one, your information is handled under that provider's own privacy policy:

• Formspree — processes contact and booking form submissions and forwards them to me.
• Calendly — schedules calls when you book a time.
• Hosting & CDN (Amazon Web Services / CloudFront) — serves the site and keeps standard server logs.

The site also links out to platforms like LinkedIn, GitHub, and the App Store. Once you leave this site, those platforms' privacy policies apply.

Cookies and tracking

This site does not set advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. Embedded third-party tools (such as a Calendly scheduler) may set their own cookies when you interact with them, governed by their policies. If analytics are used, they are limited to aggregate, non-advertising measurement.

How long I keep it

I keep inquiry and client information only as long as needed to respond to you, deliver a service, and meet ordinary business and tax record-keeping needs. You can ask me to delete your information at any time.

Your choices and rights

• Ask me what information I hold about you.
• Ask me to correct or delete it.
• Ask me to stop contacting you.

To make any of these requests, email stephenthornai@gmail.com. I'll handle it promptly.

Children

This site and its services are intended for businesses, institutions, and adults. It is not directed to children under 13, and I do not knowingly collect their information.

Changes

If this policy changes, I'll update the date at the top of this page. Material changes will be reflected here before they take effect.

This is a plain-English privacy policy provided in good faith. It is not legal advice. If you have specific compliance requirements (for example, government procurement or regulated-data obligations), let's discuss them directly.
