Vynix LLC (30 N Gould St Ste N, Sheridan, WY 82801, USA) operates ThinkEthic (thinkethic.com). Short version, in the same spirit as our advice: we collect only what we need to deliver your engagement, we never sell your data, and we never share it with technology vendors — the same independence we promise in our work applies to your information.
1. What we collect
- Self-check: if you choose to enter your email after the free self-check, we store it with your score. The self-check itself runs in your browser.
- Advisory inquiries: your email and the message you send us.
- Intake questionnaire: the business information you provide for your Tech Reality Check — what your business does, the tools you use, approximate spend, and your plans. This is the working material of your engagement.
- Payments: processed by Stripe. Card details go directly to Stripe — we never see or store them.
- Email: correspondence with [email protected] (hosted at Zoho Mail).
- Technical: basic server logs (Cloudflare). Questionnaire drafts auto-save in your own browser (localStorage) and are not sent to us until you submit.
2. How we use it
To deliver the service you paid for: analyze your situation, prepare your report, benchmark and video, answer your questions during the Q&A window, and process payment. We do not use your data for advertising, we do not sell it, and — central to what we are — we never pass your information to vendors, providers, or anyone who might want to sell you something.
3. Anonymized benchmarks
We maintain aggregate cost benchmarks (e.g., "businesses this size typically pay X–Y for accounting software"). Your engagement may contribute to these in anonymized, aggregated form only — never your name, your business name, or anything identifiable.
4. AI processing
We use AI tools to help analyze questionnaire responses and draft parts of your report — always reviewed and verified by a human before delivery. Only the content needed for the analysis is processed, and it is not used by us to train models.
5. Service providers
- Cloudflare — hosting, storage, and network security.
- Stripe — payment processing.
- Zoho — our mailbox ([email protected]).
- Anthropic — AI assistance in analysis and drafting, as described above.
6. Cookies
None. No tracking, no advertising cookies, no analytics scripts. The only browser storage we use is the local auto-save of your questionnaire, which stays on your device.
7. Retention and deletion
We keep engagement materials so we can support you after delivery and honor the Q&A window. You can ask us to delete your data at any time by emailing [email protected]; we process deletion requests within 30 days.
8. Security
Traffic is encrypted in transit (TLS). Access to stored data is limited to the people delivering your engagement. No system is perfectly secure, but we apply the same judgment we sell.
9. Your rights
Depending on where you live (including US state privacy laws and the EU/UK GDPR), you may have rights to access, correct, export, or delete your personal data, and to object to or restrict certain processing. Exercise them by emailing [email protected]. For GDPR purposes the controller is Vynix LLC and processing is based on contract performance (delivering your engagement) and legitimate interest (abuse prevention).
10. Children
ThinkEthic is a business-to-business service, not directed at children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect their data.
11. International transfers
Data is processed in the United States by the providers listed above.
12. Changes and contact
We may update this policy; changes appear on this page with a new "Last updated" date. Questions or requests: [email protected].
