Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Plaiground LLC ("Plaiground," "we," "us," or "our") respects the privacy of our website visitors and corporate applicants. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit our website ("Site") or submit an application through our intake forms.

2. Information We Collect

Unlike standard informational blogs, our Site features a strategic application funnel designed to evaluate high-ticket B2B engineering alignments. We collect information you explicitly provide to us when you submit an application, request an "AI Diagnostic Plan," or book a call via our booking forms.

3. Technical Logs & Cookies

Technical Logs

We automatically collect standard, non-identifying technical data via our hosting infrastructure (Vercel), including your IP address, browser type, operating system, and the pages you view.

Cookies

Our website itself does not place tracking or analytics cookies on your device. Our hosting provider (Vercel) and Cal.com may set technical cookies necessary for site delivery and scheduling functionality. We do not use advertising or behavioral tracking cookies.

4. How We Use Your Information

We use the data collected through our application portals strictly to:

• Evaluate whether your company is a viable fit for our embedded fractional AI engineering model.
• Generate and customize preliminary AI Diagnostic plans or architectural recommendations.
• Schedule and facilitate introductory consultations via third-party tools.
• Send follow-up communications regarding your application status or related commercial offers from Plaiground.

5. Third-Party Services and Infrastructure

Our website and intake pipeline rely on the following third-party services. Each has its own privacy practices, and we encourage you to review their policies:

• Cal.com - call scheduling and intake routing.
• Vercel - website hosting, deployment, and server infrastructure.
• Google Workspace / Email - secure business communication and application management. We are not responsible for the data practices or content of these third-party services.

6. Corporate Infrastructure & AI Model Privacy

A critical pillar of our engineering agency is data protection. For prospects and clients engaging with our services, we enforce strict compliance guidelines regarding Artificial Intelligence models:

Zero Model Training

When analyzing business bottlenecks or staging initial workflows, Plaiground exclusively utilizes commercial, enterprise-tier API endpoints (such as OpenAI and Anthropic Enterprise APIs).

Data Isolation

Your company's proprietary data, operational bottlenecks, and corporate structures submitted through our funnel are contractually prohibited from being used by third-party AI providers to train public foundation models.

7. Data Retention

We do not enforce arbitrary one-week data deletion timelines. We retain your application details, contact info, and business profiles for as long as necessary to maintain active commercial pipelines, evaluate long-term project viability, or fulfill legitimate business and legal obligations. If you wish to have your application data purged from our intake records, you may request deletion at any time by contacting us.

8. Your Rights

This Site and its application funnel are intended strictly for commercial, business-to-business (B2B) interactions. However, you retain the right to request access to any personal contact information we hold, request corrections or deletion of your information, or withdraw consent to follow-up communications at any time.

California & EU Residents

California residents may have additional rights under the CCPA, and EU/EEA residents under GDPR, including rights of access, erasure, and data portability. Contact us directly to exercise any of these rights.

9. Changes to This Policy

Plaiground LLC reserves the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time. When updates are made, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we safeguard your data.
