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

What happens to the thesis you send us

Our team reads it. Jaime Albella reads every thesis and replies on your own page. Our team can read every thesis sent. No other design partner can read yours.

Screening against your thesis is coming later. Today it is saved and read, and it does not change list #1.

We keep a history of it. Each version you send is saved as a new one, so you have a history. You can delete any version from your own page, and our replies to it go with 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.

Where it is stored. Accounts and theses are stored with Supabase, a database service. Records of how the site and app are used, described in the next paragraph, are stored in the same Supabase database. Passwords are handled by Supabase, and we never hold them.

We record how visitors use the site and app, to improve it. This includes the pages you open, the site you arrived from and any tag on the link you used, whether you are on a phone or a computer, and your main actions: signing up, signing in, sending a thesis, opening a list, and asking us to close your account. A random ID is kept in your browser so we can recognise the same browser from one visit to the next. When you sign up or sign in, that ID and the link you first arrived by are linked to your account, and from then on your actions are recorded under it. Visits that browser made before can also be tied to your account. We never record what you type, passwords or the contents of messages.

You delete it yourself. On your own page, delete any thesis you sent. It is deleted, along with our replies to it.

You can ask us to close your account. Ask from the same page. The request goes to our team, and a person on the team closes it. Closing it deletes your theses and our replies. Questions about this page: jalbellamoragil@tulane.edu.

Everything in our database is deleted on December 30, 2026. That is 30 days after the design-partner program ends on November 30, 2026. It covers accounts, theses, our replies, closure requests, the records of how the site and app are used, and the text of any released list, company and person names included.

What we hold about business owners

Only what is in the public record, and only the part of it that a brief needs. In list #1 that is what the Licensing Board for Contractors’ record shows: the company name, the license number, its status and dates, the classifications, the mailing address as recorded by the board, and the qualifying party named on the license.

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 put in a brief:

• Phone numbers, even where the board’s record shows them
• Email addresses, even where the board’s record shows them
• Profiles or details pulled from social networks or data brokers

Everything in a brief traces to the license record it came from. If a detail cannot be traced to a record, 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 and the qualifying party named on its license.

We never publish a real company or a real owner

No company or person from a list appears on any public page, and neither does any address, contact detail or filing image. Names appear only behind sign-in, to accepted design partners, on their own page. 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 in a brief is checked against the original record. 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 verification re-checks it against its source and logs the result. That applies to a fact about a company in a list and to a fact on this page.
