Privacy

We use what you send us only to reply to you. Separately, we count visits to see which pages are useful.

• We use Google Analytics to count visits. In the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland it runs only if you say yes. Details and the off switch
• We run no advertising, no advertising cookies and no remarketing.
• We don’t sell or share your details, and we don’t add you to a mailing list.

This site is run by Verified Mention. For anything on this page, write to hello@verifiedmention.com.

The contact form

When you send the contact form, we receive your name, your email address, your business website, what you’re asking about and your message. It arrives in our inbox as an email. The website keeps no copy and has no database.

The readiness check

Your answers to the readiness check stay in your browser. They aren’t sent to us. If you choose to send your result with a request, it’s copied into the contact form’s message box, where you can read and edit it before sending. That copy sits in your browser’s session storage and is cleared when you close the tab. Where analytics is running, it records how the check came out but never your answers.

Email you send us

If you write to hello@verifiedmention.com, we receive your address and whatever you put in the message.

Technical data

Like every website, this one is delivered by a hosting provider that sees each visitor’s IP address, browser type and the pages requested. Ours is Cloudflare. It shows us traffic totals and records of requests it blocked as attacks. We don’t use either to identify visitors.

When you send the contact form, your IP address is used briefly to limit how many requests one connection can send in a minute. If a message fails to send, an error code is logged without your name, address or message, and Cloudflare keeps it for up to seven days.

We use Google Analytics to count visits and to see which pages and services people look at. We don’t use it to work out who anyone is.

When it runs

In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, Google Analytics doesn’t load unless you choose “Yes, count it” when the site asks. To know whether to ask, the site checks which country Cloudflare reports for your connection. We keep no record of that check.

Everywhere else it runs unless you turn it off with the switch above. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, it stays off unless you turn it on here. Your choice is saved in this browser, so clearing the site’s data resets it.

What it records

• The pages you open, how far down you scroll, links you follow to other sites, and the site or search that brought you here.
• Your browser, device type and screen size, and a rough location (country and city) that Google works out from your IP address. Google says Analytics doesn’t keep the IP address itself.
• That a contact request was sent and which service it was about. Never your name, email address, website or message.
• That the readiness check was started and finished, whether the result was ready, nearly ready or not ready, and which service it pointed to. Never your answers.
• Clicks on a service button or an email link, and whether the contact form failed to send.

Cookies

Google Analytics sets two cookies on this site: “_ga” and one whose name starts with “_ga_”. Each holds a random number, so that repeat visits from one browser are counted as one visitor. They last 13 months from your first visit, and turning analytics off removes them. The site sets no other cookies.

What’s switched off

Every advertising feature. There are no advertising cookies, no remarketing, and no link to Google’s advertising profiles.

How long Google keeps it

Records of individual visits are deleted after 14 months at most. Totals that don’t point to any one browser are kept longer.

What you send us is used to answer your request and, if you ask us to, to prepare and carry out the work. Nothing else.

Analytics is used to count visits and to see which pages and services get attention, so we know what to improve.

We don’t use either for advertising, we don’t build profiles, and no decision about you is made automatically.

Two companies process data for us:

• Cloudflare hosts the website, delivers the contact form’s email and forwards mail sent to hello@verifiedmention.com. Cloudflare’s privacy policy
• Google provides our inbox, so messages you send us are stored in Gmail, and it runs Google Analytics, described above. Google’s privacy policy

Both process data in the United States and other countries. We don’t give your details to anyone else unless the law requires it.

We keep messages for as long as we need them to deal with your request, and for our business records if you become a client. Ask, and we’ll delete yours sooner.

Analytics records are kept by Google for the time given under Analytics.

Write to hello@verifiedmention.com to ask what we hold about you, to have it corrected or to have it deleted. We’ll do it and confirm. You don’t need to give a reason.

To stop analytics in this browser, use the switch under Analytics. Google also offers a browser add-on that blocks Google Analytics on every site.

If the law where you live gives you further rights over your personal data, those apply too, including the right to complain to your data protection regulator.

Setup work involves business information you give us, such as your profile wording, your policies and your product data. We use it only for that work, and we agree with you what we hold before we start.

Identity verification is between you and the verification provider OpenAI uses. We never see or handle your ID.

Links to other sites

Our guides link to OpenAI’s pages and to news reporting. Those sites have their own privacy practices, and this page doesn’t cover them.

This site is for businesses. It isn’t directed at children and we don’t knowingly collect their details.
