Privacy notice

StanWorks is the trading name of Stan Hunter, a sole trader based in Southport, United Kingdom. I am the data controller for personal data collected through this website. Contact: stan@embify.ai.

What I collect and why

• Contact form: name, business name, email, phone and your message. Used to reply to you. Lawful basis: legitimate interests (responding to an enquiry). Sent directly to my Microsoft 365 mailbox; nothing is stored on the website.
• Booking: email address, name, business name, phone if you give it, meeting preference and any notes, plus how this visit reached the site (the first page you landed on, the referring website or campaign tag, and whether you viewed the pricing page or used StanChat). That visit information stays in your browser for the current tab and is sent only if you book. Used to create the meeting, send the invite and contact you about it. Lawful basis: steps taken at your request before a contract. Stored in my Microsoft 365 calendar and in the website's booking store hosted by Railway.
• AI opportunity check: name, business name, email, optional phone and your answers about the business. Used to write your note and reply to you. Lawful basis: steps taken at your request. Stored on the website's Railway store and deleted within two years.
• Hospitality enquiry form: name, business name, email, optional phone, business type, size, the service you are interested in and your message, plus the page you sent it from and any campaign tag in the link. Used to reply to you and follow up your enquiry. Lawful basis: legitimate interests (responding to a business enquiry). Stored on the website's Railway store and deleted within two years if we do not work together.
• Website assistants: what you type into StanChat or the hotel demo is sent to an AI model provider, acting as a processor, to produce the answer. The first question of each StanChat conversation is kept in the site's own analytics to improve its answers. Questions to the hotel demo are not stored. Please do not type personal details into either.
• Sign-in cookie: a single essential cookie that remembers your verified email on this device for 30 days. No tracking or advertising cookies are used, and no analytics are set at present.

Who sees it

Only me, and the service providers that run the website, mailbox and assistants: Railway (hosting and data store), Microsoft (email and calendar) and an AI model provider (answering questions typed into the website assistants). Both act under their standard data processing terms. I do not sell or share your data with anyone else, and I do not use it for marketing unless you ask me to.

AI tools

I may use AI tools to help draft replies and documents. I use business accounts that do not train on the data entered, and I do not paste more of your information than a task needs.

How long I keep it

Enquiries and booking records for up to two years after our last contact, then deleted. Client work records for six years to meet HMRC requirements.

Your rights

You can ask for a copy of your data, ask me to correct or delete it, or object to processing. Email stan@embify.ai. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
