Privacy

Ancaire Labs is built to be quiet. It sets no tracking cookies, runs no analytics, and carries no advertising or marketing pixels. This notice explains what the labs do with information when you use them. It covers the labs at ancaire.ai. The firm's main site, ancaire.co, carries its own policy, which also covers the contact brief and the client portal.

In short

Who we are

Ancaire ("we," "us") operates this lab at ancaire.ai. For the purposes of applicable data-protection law, we are the controller of the limited information described here. You can reach us about privacy matters at [email protected].

What we do not do

We want to be specific, because most websites cannot say this:

• We do not use tracking, advertising, or analytics cookies.
• We do not run analytics platforms. No Google Analytics, Tag Manager, or similar.
• We do not embed advertising or social-media tracking pixels.
• We do not build profiles of visitors or track you across other websites.
• We do not sell, rent, or trade your information.

To keep the lab running and to catch abuse, our edge keeps minimal, non-identifying operational records, for example that a chat turn happened or that an assessment was generated. These contain no message content, no names or emails, and nothing that identifies you or follows you across visits. They are operational records, not analytics, and they set no cookies.

The only value the lab stores on your device is a small, non-identifying flag that remembers you dismissed the welcome notice, so it does not reappear every visit. It holds no personal information. Separately, the human check described below may set a short-lived technical value to tell people apart from automated abuse. It is a security measure, not tracking, and we build no profiles from it.

What the lab does with what you type

The labs are built on Claude. AncaireAI and the console guide, the one-page assessment, the E-IQ score, and the Trawl Lab all run on it. They are optional. You can explore the map without typing anything.

• The text you enter in a lab, such as a question, a program description for an assessment, or text you enter in the Trawl Lab, is sent to Anthropic's Claude API to answer you. The lab conversations carry no name or email fields, so none are sent to Anthropic. The Trawl preview's invite-only sign-in is separate, and is described below.
• The lab's guide does not run web searches. It is scoped to Ancaire and the M² framework.
• Nothing you type into a lab is sent to us. Your conversation and your assessment stay between your browser, our edge, and Anthropic, and we do not store or read them. Under Anthropic's commercial terms, content sent to its API is not used to train its models by default and is retained only for a limited period. That processing is governed by Anthropic's own terms.

Please do not enter confidential, regulated, or personal information about yourself or anyone else, or anything you are not free to share. The lab is a thinking tool, not a secure channel for sensitive data.

The Trawl Lab preview (invite-only)

Most of the labs are open and anonymous. The Trawl Lab is different. It is an invite-only preview, so it asks for an email address. Here is exactly what that involves.

• Requesting access. If you ask to join the preview, you give us your name and email, and optionally your organization and a short note. We relay that to our labs inbox so we can consider the request and reply. We also record the source IP address and the time, to deter abuse. This is sent and received as email. We do not build a separate marketing database from it.
• Signing in. If your address is on the invite list, you enter your email and we send you a single-use code that expires shortly. You enter the code to open the lab. So that we can watch the preview for abuse and respond to access interest, every sign-in attempt, whether or not the address is on the list, is relayed to our labs inbox with the email address, the source IP and approximate country, your browser user-agent and referring page, and the time. This is security and access information, not analytics, and we do not use it to follow you across other sites.
• What we hold for access. If you are invited, your email sits on an allowlist in Cloudflare key-value storage. The single-use code is held only briefly, and as a one-way hash, then discarded. After you sign in, a signed sign-in cookie, set by the server and not readable by scripts, keeps you signed in for a limited period, about 30 days, and a small companion value records that you have a session. These keep you signed in. They are not tracking.
• Email delivery. The code to you, and the access notices to our inbox, are sent through Resend, our email provider, described in the processors below.

We process this to run the invite-only preview, to confirm who may take part, to reply to access requests, and to protect the preview from misuse. Where the law asks for a basis, we rely on our legitimate interest in operating and securing an invite-only preview, and on taking steps at your request before any engagement. As with the other labs, what you type is sent to Anthropic to answer you and is not stored or read by us, so please paste only short excerpts, and nothing confidential, regulated, or personal.

Cookies and local storage

The lab uses only what it needs to work:

• A human-verification cookie set after the anti-abuse check, so you are not challenged again during your visit. It is signed by the server and is not readable by scripts.
• A short-lived session token used to rate-limit usage and keep the lab available.
• For the Trawl Lab preview, after you sign in with your code, a signed sign-in cookie that keeps you signed in for a limited period, and a small companion value that records you have a session. These appear only if you use the invite-only preview.
• A small flag in your browser that remembers you dismissed the welcome notice.

None of these track you across other websites, and the lab carries no advertising cookies.

Who processes it for us

We keep the number of third parties deliberately small:

• Cloudflare, our hosting and content-delivery provider. As with any website, Cloudflare processes basic technical request data, such as IP addresses and request metadata, at the network level to serve the lab and protect it from abuse. It also provides the bot protection behind the human check. This happens at the infrastructure layer and is governed by the Cloudflare privacy policy.
• Anthropic, the provider of Claude. The text you type is sent to Anthropic's API to answer you and compile your assessment. Anthropic processes this as our service provider. Under its commercial terms, API content is not used to train its models by default and is retained only for a limited period. See the Anthropic privacy policy.
• Resend, our transactional email provider. When you request access to the Trawl Lab preview or sign in, Resend delivers the single-use code to you and the access notices to our labs inbox. It processes the email addresses and message content needed to send that mail, as our service provider, governed by the Resend privacy policy.

We use no analytics, advertising, or data-broker services.

How long we keep it

We do not store your conversations or your assessments. For the Trawl Lab preview, the single-use sign-in code is held only for its short expiry; an invited email stays on the allowlist while you remain part of the preview, and is removed when you leave or on request; your sign-in session lasts about 30 days unless you clear it sooner. Access requests and sign-in notices reach our labs inbox as ordinary business email, kept no longer than needed to manage the preview. Our operational records are kept only as long as useful for running the labs and catching abuse, then discarded.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights over your personal information, including to access, correct, or delete it, to object to or restrict its use, or to receive a copy. Because most of the labs collect no personal information about you, there is little for us to hold. If you have used the invite-only Trawl preview, we hold your email and the access records described above, and you can ask us to access or delete them. For any privacy question, or about information you have shared with Ancaire elsewhere, email [email protected]. You also have the right to complain to your local data-protection authority, though we hope you will contact us first.

Children

This is a professional tool. It is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.

International visitors

We are based in the United States, and our service providers may process information in the United States and other countries. If you use the lab from outside the United States, you understand that information will be handled as described here. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards for any international transfer.

Changes to this notice

If we change how the lab handles information, we will update this page and revise the date above. Material changes will be reflected here before they take effect.
