Privacy policy.

This Privacy Policy describes how Ruslan Galba, operating as Draft Protocol ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"), collects, uses, and protects your personal information when you visit draftprotocol.com (the "Site") or purchase our products. By using the Site or making a purchase, you consent to the practices described in this policy.

1. Information We Collect

1.1. Information You Provide

  • Email address — Collected when you make a purchase or sign up for the free framework download. Used to deliver your purchased materials and send transactional communications.
  • Payment information — Credit card details, billing address, and related payment data are collected and processed exclusively by Stripe. We do not store, access, or process your full credit card number on our servers.
  • AI feature inputs — If you use chat, scoring, remix, or brand-personalization features, we process the messages, pasted content, brand details, and URLs you submit to generate the requested output. Do not submit passwords, payment-card data, or other sensitive personal information to these features.

1.2. Information Collected Automatically

  • Analytics data — We use PostHog, Google Analytics 4, Vercel Analytics, and Vercel Speed Insights to collect usage and performance data including pages visited, referring URLs, browser and device type, approximate location, and Web Vitals. This data helps us understand how visitors interact with the Site and improve the experience.
  • Cookies and local access data — PostHog and Google Analytics may set analytics cookies. The curriculum also uses a first-party access cookie after purchase verification. See Section 5 for details.

1.3. Information We Do Not Collect

We do not create password-based user accounts on the Site. We do not intentionally request passwords, social security numbers, government-issued identification, or sensitive personal data categories. Optional AI inputs are user-controlled, so do not paste those categories into an AI feature.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

  • To deliver purchased digital products to your email address.
  • To process payments and prevent fraud (via Stripe).
  • To send transactional emails related to your purchase (delivery confirmation, refund communication).
  • To analyze Site usage and improve our products and user experience (via PostHog, Google Analytics 4, Vercel Analytics, and Vercel Speed Insights).
  • To process optional chat, scoring, remix, pasted-content, and brand-personalization requests through our private AI gateway.
  • To respond to your inquiries or support requests.
  • To comply with legal obligations or enforce our Terms of Service.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.

3. Third-Party Services

We share limited information with the following third-party service providers, solely to operate the Site and fulfill purchases:

3.1. Stripe

Stripe processes all payments on our behalf. When you make a purchase, your payment information is transmitted directly to Stripe and is subject to their Privacy Policy. We receive only a confirmation of payment, your email address, and a truncated card identifier from Stripe.

3.2. PostHog

PostHog provides product analytics. It collects usage and pseudonymous behavioral data about how visitors use the Site. PostHog's processing of this data is subject to their Privacy Policy.

3.3. Vercel

The Site is hosted on Vercel and uses Vercel Analytics and Speed Insights. Vercel may process server logs, request metadata, Web Vitals, and performance measurements as part of those services, subject to their Privacy Policy.

3.4. Google Analytics 4

Google Analytics 4 measures Site traffic and usage. Google may process online identifiers, device and browser data, page views, referring URLs, and approximate location under its Privacy Policy.

3.5. Private AI Gateway

Optional AI features send submitted chat messages, pasted content, brand context, URLs, and instructions to a privately operated AI gateway so it can generate the requested response. Those inputs leave the browser and may be processed in gateway logs and by the configured model provider. Avoid entering confidential or sensitive personal information.

3.6. Sequenzy

Sequenzy processes email addresses and message content to deliver purchase confirmations, curriculum access links, and requested resources. Contact us for the current provider terms that apply to those transactional messages.

3.7. GitHub

Full System buyers may submit a GitHub username to request access to the private product repository. GitHub processes the username and repository invitation under its Privacy Statement.

4. Data Retention

4.1. Email addresses associated with purchases are retained for the duration necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations (product delivery, refund processing) and comply with legal requirements such as tax record keeping. This is typically a minimum of three (3) years from the date of purchase.

4.2. Payment records are retained by Stripe in accordance with their data retention policies and applicable financial regulations.

4.3. Analytics data is retained according to the configured retention settings and policies of PostHog, Google Analytics, and Vercel.

4.4. AI feature inputs may be retained in private gateway or configured model-provider logs according to their operational settings. Contact us to request deletion of identifiable submitted content.

5. Cookies

The Site may use analytics cookies through PostHog and Google Analytics to understand sessions and distinguish visitors. It also uses a strictly functional first-party curriculum access cookie after a purchase or access link is verified.

We do not use cookies for advertising, retargeting, or cross-site tracking. No third-party advertising cookies are present on the Site.

You may disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling analytics cookies may limit our ability to improve the Site experience. Removing the functional access cookie will sign you out of the curriculum until access is verified again.

6. Legal Basis for Processing (EEA/UK Users)

If you are located in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, we process your personal data under the following legal bases as defined by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):

  • Contract performance — Processing your email and payment information is necessary to fulfill our contractual obligation to deliver your purchased product.
  • Legitimate interest — We use analytics and performance measurements from PostHog, Google Analytics, and Vercel to improve our products and website experience. You may object to this processing at any time.
  • Legal obligation — We retain purchase records as required by applicable tax and financial regulations.

7. California Privacy Rights (CCPA)

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) provides you with additional rights:

  • Right to know — You may request disclosure of the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you.
  • Right to delete — You may request deletion of your personal information, subject to legal exceptions.
  • Right to non-discrimination — We will not discriminate against you for exercising your CCPA rights.
  • Do Not Track — The Site does not currently respond to Do Not Track (DNT) browser signals. You may opt out of analytics tracking by disabling cookies in your browser settings.

We do not sell personal information as defined by the CCPA.

9. Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal information. Payment processing is handled entirely by Stripe, which is PCI DSS Level 1 certified. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Children's Privacy

The Site and our products are not directed to individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected data from a child under 18, we will take steps to delete it promptly.

11. International Data Transfers

Your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States and other countries where our service providers operate. By using the Site or making a purchase, you consent to the transfer of your information to jurisdictions that may have different data protection laws than your country of residence.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top will reflect the most recent revision. Material changes will be communicated via the email address associated with your purchase, where practicable.
