Privacy and Data

How Wade Studio handles your information.

What we collect

When you use Wade Studio, we collect:

• Your conversation — the messages you exchange with Pete during a session. This is used to generate your workshop output and is not shared with anyone outside Wade Institute.
• Your email address — only if you choose to save your session, receive a report, or request a magic link. We never collect your email without your explicit action.
• Your name and organisation — only if you provide them in the lead capture form at the end of a session.

What we do not collect

• We do not use cookies for tracking or advertising.
• We do not collect browser fingerprints, IP addresses for profiling, or device identifiers.
• We do not sell or share your data with third parties for marketing purposes.

How your data is used

• Session content is sent to Anthropic's Claude API to generate responses and reports. Anthropic does not use API inputs or outputs to train its models. See Anthropic's privacy policy.
• Email addresses are used to send your session report, magic link for session recovery, and occasional follow-up communication from Wade Institute. Emails are sent via Resend and BCC'd to Wade Institute's CRM (HubSpot) for relationship management.
• Lead information (name, email, organisation, role) may be used by Wade Institute to recommend relevant programs or resources. You can opt out at any time by contacting us.

Data storage and retention

• Session data is stored temporarily on our servers for the duration of your session and for magic link recovery. Sessions are not permanently archived.
• Reports generated during your session are stored only if you create a shareable link. Shared reports may be accessed by anyone with the link.
• Lead capture data is stored in Wade Institute's systems and managed according to Ormond College's privacy policy.

AI-generated content

Wade Studio uses artificial intelligence to facilitate exercises and generate reports. All outputs are generated based on what you share during the session. AI-generated content may contain errors or omissions. It is provided for educational and developmental purposes only and should not be treated as professional advice.

Your rights

You can:

• Request a copy of any data we hold about you.
• Request deletion of your data at any time.
• Opt out of follow-up communications.
