Who we are

Animyst AI is a company in Los Angeles, California, building an AI agent for small businesses. This policy covers the website at animyst.ai, including the waitlist, the discovery conversation and the Field notes section. It does not cover the agent itself or the work we do with a business once it signs up, which are governed by the agreement we make with each business.

What we collect

Three things, and nothing else.

• What you give us when you join the waitlist: your email address, and, if you choose to answer them, your business name or website, your team size, the software you use, and the first job you would hand over. We also note when you joined, whether you confirmed your address, and the campaign or site that sent you here, if the link said so.
• What you send through the discovery conversation or its form: your name, your email address, and your message.
• What any web server records when a page is requested: your IP address, your browser and device type, the pages you visit, and when. Our host keeps these logs for security and reliability.

What we do not collect

The site sets no cookies. It runs no analytics, no advertising pixels, and no tracking scripts. The fonts are served from our own host, and so is everything a Field note carries, including any image or clip in it, so no request goes to a third party when a page loads. If that changes, this policy will change first.

How we use it

We use the waitlist to decide which businesses to set up first and to write to you when it is your turn, and for nothing else. We use what you send through the conversation to reply to you, to understand the work you are asking about, and to keep a record of it. We use server logs to keep the site running and to spot abuse. We do not sell your information, and we do not share it with anyone for their own marketing.

Who handles it for us

A small number of providers process data on our behalf, and only to do their job.

• Vercel hosts the site and keeps the server logs.
• Resend keeps the waitlist, sends the email that confirms your address, delivers messages from the conversation to our inbox, and keeps a delivery record.
• Our email provider stores the messages once they arrive.

How long we keep it

We keep your place on the waitlist until you leave it or we invite you, and then for as long as you use the product. We keep messages from the conversation for as long as it is live and for any engagement that follows it. If you ask us to delete a message, we will, unless we need to keep it for a legal reason. Server logs are kept by our host for a limited period and then discarded.

Field notes

Field notes is published writing. Reading a note collects nothing beyond the server logs above: there is no sign-up, no comment form, and nothing on the page that knows who you are.

A published note is public and meant to stay that way. It has a permanent address, it is listed in a feed and in a machine-readable form at /api/field-notes, and anything published there should be treated as permanent and quotable by anyone, including search engines and AI assistants. Requests to those addresses appear in the same server logs as any other page and are not tied to a person.

Your choices

You can ask us what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Reply to any email we have sent you, or ask through the conversation at animyst.ai/talk, and we will act on it within thirty days. To leave the waitlist, reply to any waitlist email and say so.

If you are in California, the California Consumer Privacy Act gives you the right to know what personal information we collect, to have it deleted, and not to be treated differently for asking. We do not sell personal information, so there is nothing to opt out of. If you are in the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area, the data protection laws there give you similar rights, including the right to complain to your local supervisory authority.

Children

The site is for businesses and the people who run them. It is not directed at anyone under sixteen, and we do not knowingly collect information from them. If you believe a child has sent us something, tell us and we will delete it.

Changes

When this policy changes we will post the new version here with a new effective date. If the change matters to how we handle something you have already sent us, we will make that clear at the top.

Questions

Reply to any email we have sent you, or ask through the conversation at animyst.ai/talk. A person reads every message.
