What we collect
- Analytics. We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site (pages viewed, buttons clicked, approximate location, device type). Google Analytics uses cookies. This data is aggregated and does not identify you personally to us.
- Hydro chat. Messages you type to Hydro, our AI assistant, are processed by Anthropic (the AI provider) to generate replies. Recent chat history is stored in your own browser so conversations survive page changes; clearing your browser data removes it. Please don't share sensitive personal information in chat.
- Contact. If you email or call us, we receive what you send us.
