What we never do, and what happens to what you send us.

What happens to the thesis you send us

We use it to screen. Your criteria are the input to the work. They are read by the people and agents doing the screening and by nobody else.

We keep a history of it. When you change your thesis we record the change, because a thesis that has drifted is the most common reason a sound brief feels wrong, and we would rather find that in our own records than argue with you about it.

We never publish it. Not the paragraph, not the criteria, not an anonymized summary. What you are looking for is competitive information and it belongs to you.

We never name you. No subscriber name, no firm name, and no logo on this site or anywhere else without your written permission. If we ever ask for that permission it will be a plain question you can decline.

You can ask us to delete it. Email jalbellamoragil@tulane.edu and we will delete it and confirm in writing within five working days. The same address takes any question about this page.

We have not set a retention period yet. We would rather say that than publish a number nobody has decided. When it is set it will appear here, and until then your deletion request is the backstop and it is answered by a person.

What we hold about business owners

Only what is in the public record, and only the part of it that a brief needs: the name and role of the person who signs for a company on a filing, which filing it came from, and the business address of record.

We never hold anything an owner told us, because no owner ever tells us anything. We do not speak to them. There is nothing to store.

We do not collect, and do not put in a brief:

• Personal phone numbers
• Home addresses
• Personal email addresses
• Profiles or details pulled from social networks or data brokers

Everything in a route traces to one filing that you could pull yourself. If a detail cannot be traced to a filing, it does not belong to us and it does not go in.

The things we never do

We never contact a business owner

Not to confirm a fact, not to ask whether they are open to an approach, not on behalf of a subscriber, not once. Contacting an owner is one of only two actions in this company that require a human signature, and it is not an action this website can start.

The approach is yours to make or not make. We give you the company, the person who signs for it, and the filing that says so.

We never publish a real company or a real owner

No company from a list appears on this site or in anything else we publish. No owner name, no address, no contact detail, and no filing image. That extends to combinations: a description precise enough to identify one business is the same as naming it, and it is the mistake that is easiest to make by accident.

Anything public we produce uses a composite, built from patterns and corresponding to no real business, and labeled as one.

We never verify against a summary

Every fact is checked against the original filing. Not a database that copied it, not a search result, not a news write-up. Where we cannot reach an original source, the claim does not ship — including claims about ourselves on this website.

We never buy data before screening

The records we read are free and public. Spending money on data is the second of the two actions that require a human signature, and nothing on this site triggers it.

If it reads right

This is what you are agreeing to when you send us a thesis. If it reads right, tell us your thesis.

If something here is wrong

Tell us. A wrong fact is treated as a failure of the check that should have caught it, not as a complaint, and it is escalated as one. That applies to a fact about a company in a list and to a fact on this page.
