Who we are

This website is operated by Samantha Maeer, trading as contAIn™.

What personal data we collect

Ignite baseline

When you unlock the free Ignite baseline, we collect your first name and email address. This data is stored securely via Listmonk (our self-hosted email service) and used to deliver access to the baseline and, with your consent, send occasional emails about contAIn™.

Legal basis: consent.

The answers you enter into the Ignite baseline questions are stored in your browser's local storage only. We do not collect, transmit, or store your answers on any server.

Activate purchase

When you purchase Activate, payment will be processed by Stripe. We will receive your name, email, and transaction record so we can deliver your purchase and handle support queries. We do not store your card details.

Legal basis: performance of contract.

The Learning Curve waitlist

If you join The Learning Curve waitlist, we collect your name and email address so we can notify you when the community launches.

Legal basis: consent.

Activate waitlist

If you join the Activate waitlist, we collect your name and email address so we can notify you when Activate launches.

Legal basis: consent.

Enterprise enquiry

If you submit an enterprise enquiry via email, we collect your name, organisation, role, email, and a description of your requirements so we can respond to your enquiry.

Legal basis: consent.

Social media

We use a self-hosted social media scheduling tool (Postiz) to publish content to our social media channels (e.g. LinkedIn, X/Twitter, Instagram). This tool connects to our business accounts via OAuth and does not collect, store, or process any visitor or subscriber personal data.

Legal basis: legitimate interest (business communications).

Analytics

This site uses Cloudflare Analytics, a privacy-first analytics service provided by Cloudflare as part of our CDN. Cloudflare Analytics does not use cookies, does not track individual users, and does not collect personally identifiable information. All data is aggregated and anonymous.

No cookie consent is required for this service.

Legal basis: legitimate interest (understanding aggregate site usage).

Voice dictation

The Ignite baseline offers an optional voice dictation feature. This uses your browser's built-in speech recognition engine (e.g. Google for Chrome, Apple for Safari). Audio is processed by your browser provider, not by us. We do not store, transmit, or have access to any audio data. You are asked for consent before using this feature.

Legal basis: consent.

Who we share data with

We share data only with the following third-party services, each for a specific purpose:

  • Listmonk (self-hosted) — email delivery and list management
  • Stripe — payment processing (when Activate launches)
  • Cloudflare — DNS, CDN, and privacy-first analytics (no cookies, no personal data)
  • IONOS — SMTP email relay
  • Postiz (self-hosted) — social media scheduling and publishing

We do not sell your data to anyone.

How long we keep data

  • Email list: until you unsubscribe
  • Payment records: 6 years (required by UK tax law)
  • Analytics data: none stored (Cloudflare Analytics is aggregated and cookieless)
  • Enterprise enquiries: 12 months

International transfers

Some of our third-party providers (Stripe, Cloudflare) are based in the United States. Where data is transferred outside the UK, these providers maintain appropriate safeguards in compliance with UK GDPR.
