Effective Date: March 31, 2026

1. Introduction

Doug Walseth, doing business as Walseth AI ("Walseth AI," "we," "us," or "our"), respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our website at walseth.ai and our related products and services.

2. Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of information:

  • Contact information: Name, email address, company name, and callback preferences when you submit forms (such as audit requests, demo requests, scan requests, or contact forms).
  • Mobile number: Your mobile phone number if you request a callback or explicitly enable SMS operational alerts for your own Walseth AI system.
  • Repository URLs: GitHub repository URLs you provide for governance scanning and analysis.
  • Repository access artifacts: Private repository access details, code excerpts, issue summaries, or other materials you intentionally provide for a pilot, baseline sprint, or support engagement.
  • Usage data: Pages visited, time spent, and interactions with our website, collected through Vercel Analytics.
  • Payment information: Processed securely through Stripe. We do not store your payment card details.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide and improve our governance scanning and consulting services
  • Respond to your inquiries and deliver requested scan results, audit reports, or pilot materials
  • Process transactions and send related communications
  • Analyze usage patterns to improve our website and products
  • Send service-related communications and follow-up you explicitly request or opt into
  • Send owner-enabled SMS operational alerts about blockers, decisions, or continuity events

4. We Do Not Sell Your Data

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. Your data is used solely to provide and improve our services.

Mobile information will not be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties, except with subcontractors that support message delivery.

5. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services that may process your data:

  • Vercel: Website hosting and analytics
  • Stripe: Payment processing
  • Resend: Transactional email delivery
  • Twilio and ElevenLabs: Callback, voice, or SMS delivery only when you explicitly request or enable those channels

Each of these services has their own privacy policy governing how they handle your data.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law. Audit reports and analysis results are retained for the duration of your service engagement. Materials from private pilot or repository work are retained only as needed to deliver the service, maintain audit trails, satisfy legal obligations, or resolve disputes. You may request deletion of your data at any time, subject to legal or contractual retention requirements.

7. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. SMS Operational Alerts

If you explicitly enable SMS operational alerts, you agree to receive recurring automated text messages about system blockers, decision requests, queue status, and continuity alerts for your own Walseth AI environment.

  • Message frequency varies based on system activity.
  • Message and data rates may apply.
  • You can reply STOP to opt out and HELP for help.
  • These alerts are for owner/operator operational use, not marketing.

9. Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Request access to the personal information we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate information
  • Request deletion of your personal information
  • Opt out of non-essential communications

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at doug@walseth.ai.

10. Cookies

Our website uses essential cookies required for site functionality and analytics cookies through Vercel Analytics. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies. Analytics data is aggregated and does not personally identify you.

11. Children's Privacy

Our services are not directed to individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Your continued use of our services after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
