What this site collects, why, who it is shared with, and the choices you have. Described honestly — including the parts most policies leave vague.
Last updated: May 17, 2026
catalystproject.ai is operated by The Catalyst Project LLC, a Texas limited liability company doing business as "Catalyst Consulting" ("we," "us," or "our"). This policy explains how we handle personal information across the whole site — the Catalyst Consulting pages, the free Catalyst Project tools, and the Forge bundles.
We collect only what you choose to give us, plus a small amount of technical information that any website receives.
When you submit the contact form, we collect your name, email address, and project description, plus — if you provide them — your phone number, company name, budget range, and preferred contact method. This information is stored as an inquiry and used to create or update a lead record in our internal CRM so we can follow up with you.
If you subscribe, we store your email address, the source of the signup, and your subscription status. Our email provider also records basic engagement (such as opens and clicks).
To download a free workflow bundle, you provide an email address. We log that email, which bundle(s) you requested, and — for abuse prevention and rate limiting — your IP address and browser user-agent string. Requesting a bundle also adds your email to our subscriber list (tagged to the bundle); you can unsubscribe at any time.
The Catalyst Project includes an optional, free dashboard called the Mirror. If you create an account, we store your email, a hashed password, and the content you enter into the dashboard. The Mirror is not currently actively marketed; it remains available to existing and curious users.
Like most websites, we receive standard technical data on each visit: browser and device type, pages visited, approximate location derived from IP address, and referral source. This is used in aggregate to understand traffic and improve the site.
We do not use your information for third-party advertising, and we do not build advertising profiles.
We do not sell or rent your personal information. We share it only with the service providers that make the site run, and only as needed for them to perform their function:
Database, file storage, and authentication. Inquiry records, newsletter subscriptions, download logs, and any account data are stored here. Hosted in the United States.
Website hosting and deployment, plus basic performance and traffic analytics.
Email delivery — the newsletter, Forge download links, and notifications.
Scheduling for discovery and strategy calls. Your name and email are shared with Cal.com when you book.
When you submit the contact form, an internal alert containing your submission is sent to a private Telegram channel so we can respond quickly.
Powers AI features in the optional Mirror dashboard. Text you submit to those features is processed by Claude and is not used to train models.
We may also disclose information if required by law, or to protect our legal rights. If the business is ever transferred, personal information may transfer with it; we would note that here first.
AI features exist only inside the optional Mirror dashboard. If you do not use the Mirror, no content of yours is sent to an AI provider.
When you use AI features in the Mirror, the text you submit is sent to Anthropic (Claude) to generate a response. That content is processed to serve your request and is not used to train AI models. It is never shared with or made visible to other users.
We use a small number of cookies that are necessary for the site to function — for example, to keep you signed in if you have an account. We use privacy-respecting, aggregate analytics to measure traffic.
We do not use:
To exercise any of these, use the contact form or email hello@catalystproject.ai. We will respond within a reasonable time and may need to verify your identity first.
Data is transmitted over encrypted connections (HTTPS) and stored with our database provider, which encrypts data at rest. Account passwords are hashed, never stored in readable form, and database row-level security restricts account data to its owner. No system is perfectly secure, but we limit what we collect and who can access it.
The site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.
Our providers are based primarily in the United States, and information you provide is processed there. If you access the site from outside the United States, you consent to that processing.
If you are a California resident, the CCPA gives you the right to know what personal information we collect and how it is used, to request deletion, to opt out of the sale of personal information (we do not sell it), and to not be discriminated against for exercising these rights. Use the contact details in Section 8 to make a request.
We may update this policy as the site evolves. When we do, we will change the "Last updated" date above and note material changes prominently on the site.
