Privacy and data

Privacy Policy

Last updated July 15, 2026.

Your data depends on how we work together. Ordinary Academy membership is a light-data service. Recording and transcript processing apply only when you separately take part in AI Mastermind or one-on-one coaching.

What changes by service

Meli AI Academy

A self-directed membership with a small account and learning record.

Recording
Academy membership does not record you.
Transcripts
Academy membership does not create or process transcripts about you.
Access
Your account, billing status, and learning progress are available only where needed to run your membership.
Retention
Account and learning records are kept while they support your membership, account recovery, or a request you make. Limited billing, fraud, tax, dispute, security, and legal records may be kept longer.

AI Mastermind

A live group program with a shared member archive.

Recording
Mastermind sessions are recorded through Fathom only after everyone present confirms. If anyone does not confirm, the session stays unrecorded.
Transcripts
When a session is recorded, its transcript supports group summaries, lesson debriefs, practical takeaways, and recap emails.
Access
Recordings and debriefs are for the Mastermind group. Public reuse requires separate permission.
Retention
The Mastermind notice separates temporary transcript work from the recordings and reviewed debriefs promised in the member archive.

One-on-one coaching

A private working relationship built around your situation and goals.

Recording
Private sessions may be recorded through Fathom after recording has been explained and agreed to.
Transcripts
Session transcripts support private insights, recaps, personalized prompts, workflows, next steps, and portal material.
Access
Private coaching material is limited to you, me, and the services needed to produce and deliver your work.
Retention
Raw recordings and transcripts are managed separately from the reviewed prompts, workflows, recaps, and other deliverables in your private portal.

Information used across this site

When you join an updates list, send a public form, create an account, or buy a service, I receive the information you provide. Depending on what you choose, that can include your name, email address, form answers, account access, subscription status, and compact learning records.

Stripe processes payments. I do not receive or store your full card number. Stripe may process payment, transaction, device, and fraud-prevention information under its own privacy policy.

Resend delivers site, account, and membership messages. Messages sent to me through the site, along with limited owner copies used for support and delivery checks, can reach my Google/Gmail inbox.

Academy membership stays light

If you only use Meli AI Academy, I do not record you or create transcripts about you. Academy keeps the account, billing, access, and learning-progress information needed to run your membership. It does not create private coaching insights, prompts, or workflows from your activity.

Live programs have their own notices

AI Mastermind is a live group program. When everyone present confirms and a session is recorded, its Fathom recording and transcript support the replay archive, group summaries, lesson debriefs, practical takeaways, and recap emails described in the Mastermind notice. If anyone does not confirm, the session stays unrecorded.

One-on-one coaching is a private working relationship. With notice and agreement, session recordings and transcripts can support private insights, recaps, personalized prompts, workflows, next steps, and client portal material.

Analytics, errors, and abuse protection

Vercel Web Analytics provides aggregated information such as visited pages, referrers, general location, device type, and browser type. It does not use third-party cookies or give me a profile of an identified visitor.

When Sentry monitoring is enabled, the site reports errors and samples 10% of performance traces so I can diagnose problems. The Sentry software is configured not to send default personally identifying information.

I use Cloudflare Turnstile on selected public forms to help make sure the site is not abused. Cloudflare may process limited browser, device, and network information for this purpose.

How I use and share information

I use information to provide the service you chose, send messages you requested, run accounts and access, process purchases and refunds, answer you, prevent abuse, and fix problems. I never sell your personal data.

The services listed below receive only the information needed for their role and handle it under their own privacy terms. Recording providers are limited to the live programs that use recording. They do not receive ordinary Academy learning records through this site.

Your controls and retention

Marketing emails include an unsubscribe option. You can ask what information I hold about you, correct it, request an export, or ask me to delete it through the contact form.

Retention follows the service relationship and the kind of record. Academy account and learning records, Mastermind group materials, and private coaching source files do not share one retention period. Each service notice explains the practical boundary. Limited transaction, tax, fraud-prevention, dispute, security, and legal records may be kept as long as they are reasonably required.

If this changes

If I make a meaningful change to this policy, I will give notice by email or on the site.

Service privacy policies

These services handle information only for the roles described in this notice.
