Privacy notice
Last updated
This notice explains what personal information we collect when you use guidedorchestration.com and the Knowledge Lock demo at knowledge-lock.com, why we collect it, and your rights. We keep it short and specific. If anything is unclear, contact us using the details below.

If you become a client, we keep the records we need for the contract and for tax and accounting law, usually for 6 years after the contract ends.
We do not sell your personal information, use it for advertising, or make decisions about you by automated means that have legal or similarly significant effects.
The Knowledge Lock demo
The demo is for trying out the product with the fictional scenario provided. Please don't enter personal, confidential or sensitive information into it.
- Text you enter is sent to AI model providers (Anthropic, OpenAI and Google) so their models can review it.
- Records you lock in the demo can be seen by anyone who has the link.
- Locked records are designed not to change, but we can delete a demo record on request. Email us with the link to the record.
Analytics
We use Vercel Web Analytics to count page views. It doesn't use cookies. Visitors are counted using a scrambled value made from the incoming request, which Vercel discards after 24 hours. We only see aggregated figures, not individual visitors. Links we share on social media may include tags (such as utm_source=linkedin) so we can see which posts bring people to the site.
Cookies
We set one cookie, and only after you unlock a paper.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
go_insights | Remembers that you have unlocked our papers, so you don't need to enter your email again | 12 months |
This cookie is strictly necessary to give you the content you asked for, so we don't ask for consent to set it. It doesn't contain your email address. You can delete it in your browser settings at any time; you will then need to unlock papers again. We don't use advertising or tracking cookies, and the demo sets no cookies.
Who we share it with
We use these service providers to run our sites. They process personal information on our behalf and only on our instructions.
| Provider | What they do for us |
|---|---|

| Resend | Delivers emails from the contact form and paper unlocks, and holds the list of people who asked for new-paper emails |
| Supabase Inc. | Hosts the demo's database |
| Anthropic, OpenAI and Google | Run the AI models that review text in the demo |
| Our email provider | Holds the emails we send and receive |
We may also share information if the law requires it, or with professional advisers such as our accountants and lawyers.
International transfers
Some of these providers are based in, or store data in, the United States or other countries outside the UK. When personal information leaves the UK, we make sure it is protected. We rely on UK adequacy regulations, including the UK Extension to the EU–US Data Privacy Framework for certified providers, or on the International Data Transfer Addendum to the European Commission's standard contractual clauses.
