Privacy Policy
Short version: You do not need an account to use this site, and it does not use advertising or tracking cookies. The free tools send what you type to a third-party AI service to produce results, so keep personal details about individual people out of them.
What you enter into the free tools
The free tools (Funder Match Tool, Funder Prioritization Engine, Outcome Clarity Tool, and Annual Report Source Pack Builder) ask you to describe an organization, a project, or a funding need. Organization names, project descriptions, and program details are what the tools are built for.
Please leave out:
- Names, stories, or case details about the people your organization serves
- Financial account numbers, passwords, or login details
- Confidential or unpublished documents you are not free to share
The Annual Report Source Pack Builder asks for web addresses. It reads the visible text of the public pages you list and does not access private pages. That page text is processed the same way as anything else you enter.
This site has no user accounts and does not save what you enter or the results in a database.
Third-party processing
The tools send your entries to Anthropic, the company that provides the AI technology behind them. Requests pass through a Cloudflare Worker, which keeps the access credentials out of your browser.
Anthropic's published policy for its API says it deletes inputs and outputs automatically after a limited period, with exceptions such as enforcing its usage policy and meeting legal requirements. It also says it does not use API inputs and outputs to train its models by default. Details are at privacy.claude.com and anthropic.com/privacy.
Because your entries reach a third party, use the tools as you would any online service: enter only what you are free to share.
Hosting, logs, and analytics
This site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Cloudflare may collect standard server logs, including IP addresses and page requests, as part of hosting and security. I do not use that log data for any purpose of my own.
Pages on this site load fonts from Google Fonts. When a page loads, your browser requests the font files from Google, which receives your IP address and browser details under its own privacy policy.
I use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count visits and see which pages and tools are used. Cloudflare states that this service does not use cookies or local storage and does not track visitors across sites. I use the counts to understand the site as a whole, not to identify individuals.
Cookies and tracking
This site does not set advertising or tracking cookies and does not use pixels from advertising networks. Cloudflare may apply security measures that are necessary to deliver and protect the site.
Contact form and email
If you use the contact form, the name, email address, organization, topic, and message you submit are saved in a Google Sheet that only I can open, and a copy is emailed to me. I use them to reply to you. Google processes this data under its own privacy policy.
You can also write to me directly at mary@systemary.consulting. Your email provider handles that message in transit under its own policy. Messages stay in my records until I delete them.
Client work
If you hire me, the materials you share are covered by the agreement for that engagement. This policy covers the public website and the free tools.
Links to other sites
This site links to other sites, including LinkedIn and the project portfolio at marydebus-bit.github.io. Those sites have their own privacy practices, and this policy does not cover them.
Children's privacy
This site is written for adults who work in nonprofits, education, research, and community organizations. It is not directed to children, and I do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13.
Your choices
Because I do not save tool entries, I cannot look up or delete them. If you sent me a message through the form or by email and want it deleted, write to me and I will delete it. For data held by Anthropic or Cloudflare, see their privacy policies.
Changes to this policy
I will update this policy when the site or its tools change. The effective date at the top shows the most recent version.
