Privacy notice

Effective October 13, 2026

FindingFirst is operated by The Hardwicke Advisory Group LLC. This notice explains what we collect and why.

What you type into the tool

Your description of the issue and the details you select are sent to our AI provider, Anthropic, to generate your results. We don't keep a copy on our servers after your results are returned. Anthropic handles that data under its commercial terms for API customers. Please describe the issue, not the data: no passwords, account numbers, customer records or personal information. The tool blocks some of these automatically.

Your browser keeps your last description on your own device so a paid report can pick up where you left off after checkout. You can clear it by clearing this site's data in your browser.

Your email

We ask for your work email before the free preview. We use it to send you occasional product updates, which you can stop at any time, and we never sell or share it. It's stored with our form provider, Formspree, together with the names of the frameworks your preview touched, not your description.

Payments and subscriptions

Payments are handled by Stripe. Stripe collects your card details; we never see your full card number. We receive your name, email, billing country and what you bought, and we use Stripe's records to know whether you have an active subscription and how many reports you've run this month.

Signing in

Subscribers stay signed in with one secure cookie that identifies your Stripe customer record. Sign in links are emailed through Resend. We don't use advertising or tracking cookies.

Consulting requests

If you request a consultation, your name, email, company and message are sent to us by email through Formspree, and we use them only to reply. If you book a time, the details you enter are handled by Google Calendar and used only to arrange and prepare for the meeting.

Hosting

The site runs on Vercel, which keeps standard server logs, such as IP addresses, for security and troubleshooting.

Site analytics

We use Vercel Web Analytics to count visits and see which steps people complete, such as starting a free check or opening checkout. It doesn't use cookies, and it doesn't collect your name, your email or anything you type into the tool. We only see totals, such as how many visitors came from a search engine or which country they visited from.

Your choices

Email hello@findingfirst.ai to ask what we hold about you, to correct it, or to have it deleted. We'll respond within 30 days. Some payment records must be kept for tax and accounting purposes.
