Effective Date: December 1, 2025
Hey there! We know reading privacy policies isn't exactly fun (trust us, writing them isn't either), but since we're all about making AI and tech more accessible, we figured we should make our privacy policy as straightforward as possible too. No legalese here – just real talk about how we handle your information.
1. Who We Are & What This Covers
Hatz Copywriting is a co-owner of Practical AI Lab (PAL), which is is an educational business that teaches AI tools in a non-intimidating, practical way. This privacy policy covers all the ways we might interact with you:
-Our website and any web forms
-Email communications and newsletters
-Our paid membership community
-Zoom training calls and workshops
-Social media interactions (Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube)
-Any other PAL educational materials or services
2. Information We Collect
Information You Give Us
When you interact with PAL, you might share:
-Name and email address (when signing up for our community or newsletter)
-Payment information (processed securely by our payment processors – we don't store your credit card details)
-Messages you send us (questions, comments, feedback)
-Profile information in our community platform
-Responses to surveys or feedback forms
Information We Automatically Collect
Like most websites, we automatically collect some technical information:
-Basic website analytics (pages visited, time spent, general location)
-Device and browser information (to make sure our site works well for you)
-IP addresses and cookies (standard web stuff)
-Email engagement data (opens, clicks – helps us understand what's helpful)
3. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to provide the best possible experience:
-Deliver our educational content and services
-Send you newsletters and updates (only if you've signed up)
-Process payments for our paid services
-Provide customer support
-Improve our content based on what's working (and what isn't)
-Manage our community platform
-Send relevant recommendations (AI tools, resources, etc.)\n
We'll never use your information for anything sketchy or sell your data to random companies. That's not who we are.\n
4. When We Share Information
We keep your information to ourselves, except in these specific situations:
-Service Providers
We work with trusted companies that help us run our business:
-Email service providers (for newsletters like Kit.com)
-Payment processors (for secure transactions like Stripe.com)
-Website hosting and analytics providers (Like Namecheap, Wix, and Google)
-Community platform providers (Facebook, Skool, Thinkific)
-AI tools like OpenAI, Anthropic, Make
Video conferencing services (like -Zoom for our calls)
These companies only get the information they need to do their job, and they're contractually required to keep it safe.
Legal Requirements
We might have to share information if legally required (like if we get a court order), but we'll fight unnecessary requests and notify you when legally allowed to do so.
Business Changes
If PAL gets acquired or merged with another company, your information would transfer to the new owners. We'd let you know beforehand and ensure your rights are protected.
5. Third-Party Platforms
We're active on various platforms, and each has its own privacy policy:
Social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest,YouTube) – when you interact with our posts, those platforms have their own data collection practices
Zoom – for our training calls (check Zoom's privacy policy for their practices)
Community platforms – our paid community may be hosted on third-party platforms\n
Pro tip: You can actually copy any privacy policy into ChatGPT and ask it to explain the concerning parts. We encourage you to do this with any service you use!\n
6. Your Rights & Controls
You have control over your information:
Email Communications
Unsubscribe anytime using the link in our emails
Update your email preferences
Pause communications temporarily
Your Data
Request a copy of your information
Correct any inaccurate information
Delete your account and associated data
Export your data in a readable format
Just email us with your requests. We're real people who actually read and respond to emails.
7. Data Security
We take security seriously, but let's be realistic about it:
We use industry-standard security measures (encryption, secure servers, regular backups)
Payment information is handled by certified payment processors (we never store your credit card details)
Our team receives regular security training
We limit access to your information to only those who need it
That said, nothing online is 100% secure. We'll always be transparent if there's ever a security incident that affects you.\n
8. Cookies & Tracking
We use cookies and similar technologies, but nothing creepy:
Essential Cookies
These keep our website working properly (remembering your login, keeping your cart intact, etc.).
Analytics Cookies
We use these to understand how people use our site so we can make it better. This includes Google Analytics and similar services.
Your Cookie Controls
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking all cookies might make some features not work as well, but that's your choice.

10. International Users
PAL operates from the United States. If you're using our services from another country, your information will be transferred to and processed in the US. Different countries have different privacy laws, so please consider this when using our services.
11. Changes to This Policy
We'll update this policy occasionally to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. When we make significant changes:
We'll email our community members
We'll post a notice on our website
We'll update the effective date at the top
We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continuing to use our services means you accept any changes.\n

Happy learning!

Privacy Policy for Message Helper Chrome Extension
Last Updated:** February 16, 2026
Overview
Message Helper is a browser extension designed to help reframe text messages with compassion. This privacy policy explains how the extension handles your data.
Data Collection and Storage
What We Store Locally

- This data never leaves your device and is not accessible to us
API Communication
When you use the reframe feature:
- The selected text is sent directly to Anthropic's API using YOUR API key
- This communication happens directly between your browser and Anthropic
- We do not intercept, store, or have access to this communication
- Anthropic's privacy policy governs how they handle this data: https://www.anthropic.com/privacy
Third-Party Services
Anthropic API
This extension uses the Anthropic Claude API to reframe messages. When you use the extension:

Children's Privacy
This extension is not intended for use by children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from children.
Compliance
This extension complies with Chrome Web Store policies and applicable privacy laws.
activeTab Justification
Temporary Access & Privacy: The permission lasts only while the user is highlights specific text and is revoked when the user navigates away or closes the tab. This provides a privacy-focused alternative to requesting.
User-Initiated Trigger: Access is persistent; it requires a user gesture, such as clicking the extension icon, will stay active as long as chrome is open.
Functionality: While active, the extension can interact with the tab via scripting (executeScript, insertCSS) and read highlighted text chosen by the user.
Use Case: It is designed for extensions that only need to operate on a site when the user specifically asks for it by highlighting text.
This privacy policy applies to any App or Chrome Extension we make. If we store specific data for that App or Chrome Extension it will be added to the policy under "Latest Update."
