PRIVACY NOTICE · UPDATED NOVEMBER 7, 2026

Privacy & your choices.

This notice describes the current Ad Pilot website and early-access workspace, based in Santa Cruz, California. Contact adpilotca@gmail.com for privacy questions or requests. The operator’s full legal identity and business mailing address are not yet verified; these details require confirmation before a public customer launch.

Website inquiries and appointments

When you submit the website contact form, your name, email, business name if supplied, and message are stored in Ad Pilot’s private inquiry inbox so we can respond. Contact adpilotca@gmail.com to request deletion. Please do not submit sensitive information through the form.

The project intake asks for your selected services, budget, timing, business details and contact information. Answers stay in the open page until you download them or choose to open and send an email. Opening Google Calendar takes you to a separate booking service. Your intake answers are not automatically sent to Ad Pilot when you book there. Do not include payment details or sensitive information in free-text fields.

Cookies and browser storage

The site uses browser storage for privacy choices, sign-in and requested functionality. The hosting platform may set essential authentication and security cookies. Our custom preference panel cannot remove or change those platform cookies. No Google Analytics or Meta advertising tracking scripts were found in the application code for this release; analytics and advertising remain disabled.

When you navigate between Ad Pilot and Prospect Desk, links carry only your appearance choice (light, dark, or system). The destination applies it and removes it from the visible address. Session storage keeps this requested setting during the current tab session; each site has its own longer-term storage preferences. We store your cookie choice in adpilot-privacy-v1 on this browser for up to 180 days before asking again. If you allow “Remember appearance,” we also remember your theme and motion setting in local storage. You can withdraw that choice through Cookie settings, which removes those appearance records. Clearing browser data removes local settings. Declining optional storage does not stop you using the website.

Some tools save drafts, checklists or research in your browser when you request those features. A browser-only draft is not a server backup. Signed-in workspace records are handled separately as described below. Global Privacy Control does not enable tracking; analytics and advertising remain off. These browser settings are not a substitute for contacting us about broader personal-information requests.

Third parties and technical requests

Hosting providers process connection and security information when pages load. Some pages load fonts from Google Fonts, which involves requests to Google. Links to Google Calendar, Instagram, Stripe and separate showcase websites are governed by those services’ policies. Google Calendar receives the information you submit in its booking form. Payment and connected-account services are only used through the relevant feature.

Privacy requests and retention

Email adpilotca@gmail.com to request access, correction, deletion, or to ask that personal information not be sold or shared. Tell us the account or interaction involved; do not email identity documents unless a secure verification method has been agreed. Applicable rights and exceptions depend on your location and the business’s legal obligations. We may need to verify requests and retain records required for security, billing, or legal obligations. The operator’s retention schedule and legal applicability must be confirmed before public launch.

What the workspace stores

Ad Pilot uses the signed-in identity supplied by its hosting platform to keep each user’s business profile, manually recorded leads, and saved research observations separate. Business records are stored in the app database. Avoid entering sensitive personal information into lead notes.

Connected accounts

If enabled, Google and Meta handle authorization on their own sites. Ad Pilot stores the returned account tokens encrypted on its server, rather than exposing them to the browser. This release reads reports and account lists. It does not create campaigns, change budgets, or publish ads.

Competitor research

Search queries are sent to SearchAPI when a research key is configured. The query includes the service, location, and any advertiser or domain you choose. Public results can be cached in server memory for up to five minutes. A personal key is encrypted in your workspace; a shared operator key can also be configured. Provider account limits and terms apply.

Website checks

When you request a website check, your page URL is sent to Google PageSpeed Insights. Google analyzes the public page and returns the report. Avoid addresses containing private information. If you choose a saved HTML file instead, it is processed in your browser and is not uploaded.

Service workspace

Jobs, customer or job labels, service locations, notes, task lists and draft estimates you enter are stored with your signed-in account. Avoid entering sensitive payment information. Workspace erasure removes these records and saved projects and expenses. Appointments and estimates are not automatically sent to customers.

AI-generated ideas

When you choose to create an AI idea or website draft, your written description is sent to OpenAI to generate a response. Do not include sensitive personal information. Review the result before using it. A successful AI draft uses one Ad Pilot credit. The draft remains on the page unless you choose to save or share it; using the email button opens your own email application and does not automatically send a message.

Guided drafts and credits

Guided tools use fixed templates and your business inputs, not a connected AI model. Inputs and output are processed by the app server and are only saved as project history when you choose Save project. Saved projects and manually logged USD expenses are stored privately per account. Unsaved drafts stay in the open page until you leave; copy or download to keep them. Daily suggestions are rotating general guidance displayed in-app, not personalized AI research or email notifications. Credit balances and one-time trial usage are stored per signed-in account. These limited usage records are retained when you erase workspace records to prevent a trial from being repeatedly claimed. Contact support for full account deletion.

Billing

When billing is enabled, Stripe collects payment details on its own pages. Ad Pilot stores an encrypted link between your signed-in workspace and your Stripe customer account. Subscription and invoice status are read from Stripe to check access. Card numbers are not stored by Ad Pilot. Erasing workspace records does not cancel a subscription or delete the billing link. Use Manage billing to cancel, or contact support for billing-record requests. Stripe and the business may need to retain transaction records.

Exports and deletion

Your Connections & data screen can export your business records and erase your saved workspace data and connections. For dashboard projects and expense records, contact support to request deletion; those records are not yet included in the legacy Connections & data export or erase action. Removing an account connection also attempts to revoke its provider grant; review connected apps in Google and Meta to confirm revocation. Full workspace erasure removes locally stored tokens; separately revoke any provider-side grants. The platform may retain its operational logs and database backups under its own policies.

Access and availability

The site currently uses the hosting platform’s ChatGPT sign-in and site-sharing controls. It is an early-access service. Google and Meta app approvals and the operator’s provider accounts are separate prerequisites for customer connections.
