You own your data. We see nothing.
Your work and your business knowledge stay in a folder on your own computer. We do not store them, and we cannot read them. You are always the one who decides what happens next.
On your computer
Everything Corey knows about your business, and everything it makes for you, is saved as plain files in a folder you choose. Yours to open, move or delete any time.
Nothing you work on
We never store the work Corey does or the knowledge in your folder on our computers. To run your subscription we hold only your email and billing details.
Always you
Corey suggests and does the legwork, but anything public, money-related or hard to undo waits for your yes. You stay in charge of every real decision.
You decide. Corey does. Everything is on the record.
Corey never acts behind your back. It proposes a step, you approve it, and only then does it run. Reading a file or checking your calendar happens freely; anything that goes out to the world, touches money or cannot be undone stops and waits for you.
Every step is written down, so there is always a clear, checkable record of who decided what and when. That trail is yours. It is also how Corey helps you stay on the right side of new rules on how AI is used, like the EU AI Act, which expect a person to stay in control and the decisions to be traceable back to them.
Your data lives with you - and you choose whether to back it up
By default, your Corey folder sits on your own computer and nowhere else. That is the most private setup there is: no copy anywhere but your machine.
It also has one honest trade-off. If that computer is lost, stolen or stops working, the work in that folder goes with it - and you cannot reach it from your phone or another device. Local-only means exactly that: one copy, in one place.
That is why Corey offers an optional backup to GitHub - a service that safely keeps a private copy of your files in the cloud. It is free, it is locked to you, and turning it on means:
- your work is safe if anything happens to your computer;
- you can pick up where you left off from your phone or another device;
- you keep the keys - the copy is private to you, and you can switch it off any time.
What we can and cannot see.
What stays private to you
- The work Corey produces for you.
- Your business knowledge, notes and project files.
- Anything in folders you have not approved.
- Other apps, your browser history, your saved passwords.
What we hold to run the service
- Your email and account sign-in.
- Your plan and billing status (payments handled by Stripe).
- Basic security logs needed to keep your account safe.
- Any message you send us for support.

The tools we set up respect it too
When Corey builds your site, it recommends a best-practice stack that treats your data the way we do - Cloudflare for hosting and cookieless analytics, Neon for the database, and WorkOS for logins - and it always asks before setting anything up. On Cloudflare that means analytics with no cookies, no personal data, and no cookie banner: you get the numbers; your visitors keep their privacy.
Already on another platform? Corey uses Fathom for the same cookieless analytics instead. See the stack we build on, orwhy we recommend Fathom off Cloudflare.
