Privacy Policy

Effective November 14, 2026

This policy explains what personal information Project Optimus ("we," "us") collects, how we use it, and your choices. We collect as little as we need to run the Service.

What we collect

• Email address, when you subscribe to the Optimus Weekly or become a member.
• Payment and billing details, when you subscribe to Optimus Pro. Stripe collects and processes these; we receive your name, email, billing country, plan, and payment status, but never your full card number.
• Messages you send us, such as support requests.
• Basic technical data, such as IP address and browser type, collected automatically by our hosting provider and the third-party services listed below.

We do not collect sensitive personal information, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.

How we use it

• To send the newsletter and member updates you signed up for, including alerts when names on the conviction list change.
• To process payments, manage subscriptions, and provide member access.
• To respond to you, prevent fraud and abuse, and keep the Service secure.
• To meet legal and tax obligations.

We do not sell or rent your personal information, and we do not use it for targeted advertising.

Service providers

We share information only with providers that help us run the Service, under their own privacy terms:

• Stripe for payments and billing.
• Netlify for website hosting and newsletter signup forms.
• beehiiv for sending the newsletter.
• Anthropic (claude.ai) for hosting the private member research page, which you open by invitation.
• TradingView for live charts, and Google Fonts for typefaces. Your browser connects to these directly when you view our pages, and they may set their own cookies.

We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights.

Cookies

Our own pages do not use advertising or tracking cookies. Embedded third-party tools, such as TradingView charts, may set cookies; you can block them in your browser settings.

Retention

We keep your email while you are subscribed, and remove it within 30 days after you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it. We keep billing records as long as tax law requires, generally seven years.

Your choices and rights

You can unsubscribe from emails at any time. You can ask us to access, correct, export, or delete your personal information. Depending on where you live, including California and the European Economic Area, you may have additional rights; we honor those requests and will not treat you differently for making them.

Security

We rely on established providers with industry-standard security. No system is perfectly secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

International users

The Service is operated from the United States, and your information is processed there.

Changes

We will post any changes here with a new effective date and email subscribers about material changes.

Contact

To exercise your rights or ask a question, reply to any Optimus Weekly email or to your Stripe receipt. We respond within 30 days.
