LAST UPDATED August 14, 2026
01 / The short version
We keep what you type, because that is how John remembers your business. We send your conversations to Anthropic so John can reply. Stripe handles payment and we never see your card number. We do not sell your data. Ask us and we delete it.
02 / What we collect
Three things.
Your name, your email address, and your profile picture.
Your messages to John and his replies, plus the projects, people, notes, homework and checkpoints that get filed out of those conversations.
We note when you reached a handful of milestones — signing up, finishing your first piece of homework, starting a membership — so we can see whether the product is working. It is a short list of dates against your account, nothing about what you wrote, and it is deleted with everything else.
We do not ask for your address or your phone number. We do not buy data about you from anyone else. If you joined the waiting list before we opened where you live, we hold the email address and country you gave us there until you ask us not to.
03 / Where it is kept
Your data sits in a Postgres database run by our hosting provider, Render, on servers in the United States. It is encrypted where it is stored and encrypted while it travels between your phone and us.
04 / Who else sees it
Three companies help run Leaders Lab. Each one gets only what it needs.
Your message goes to Anthropic’s API so John can answer — and so does the notebook he keeps on your business: your numbers, your people and the notes about them, your projects and your homework. That is how he remembers you between conversations, so it goes with every message, including the parts you typed into a form rather than said to him. Anthropic does not train its models on data sent through its API by default, and holds a copy for a limited period on its own side before it ages out.
Stripe collects your card details and charges you, and we give it your name and email address so it can find you and send your receipt. We never see your card number. What we store is the ids Stripe gives us and whether your membership is running.
Google checks that you are you. We receive your name, email and picture. Google does not receive your notebook.
05 / What we do not do
We do not sell your data. We do not rent it or trade it. We do not run ads. We do not load advertising or analytics trackers into the app.
06 / Cookies
A few cookies, and only for signing in — block them and you cannot stay logged in. No tracking cookies, no analytics cookies, no advertising cookies. The app also saves your light-or-dark choice on your own device, which never reaches us.
07 / Deleting things
You can delete a project, a person, a session, a piece of homework or a checkpoint from inside the app. When you do, the record is removed from the database.
To delete your whole account and everything in it, email AustinTylerArmstrong@yahoo.com from the address you signed up with. We honour that request, and we do it within two business days.
08 / How long we keep it
While your account is open, we keep your notebook — that is the whole point of it. John cannot remember what he no longer has.
Cancelling your membership does not delete anything. Your notebook stays, and if you come back it is all still there.
When you delete your account, we delete everything in it — your business, your people, your projects, your homework and every conversation. It is gone from our live database straight away, and gone from our encrypted backups within 30 days as those roll over.
Three honest footnotes. Short fragments of text can sit in our server logs for a while, and Anthropic holds its own copy of what was sent to it. Both age out on roughly the same 30-day timescale, and neither is something we can reach into and delete on the day you ask. Stripe also keeps the payment records the law makes it keep — your name, email and charge history. Your card number was never ours to delete; only Stripe ever had it.
09 / Security
Every request for your data is checked against your signed-in account, so one customer cannot read another customer’s notebook.
We are not going to claim things on this page that we have not tested. We hold no security certification and we are not implying one. If you need specific security answers for a procurement review, email us and we will answer honestly.
10 / Your rights
Depending on where you live, you can ask to see the data we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Email AustinTylerArmstrong@yahoo.com and we will do it.
Leaders Lab is sold in the United States and Canada only. We are not set up to take customers in the UK or the EU yet, and we would rather say that than pretend we can meet rules we have not built for. If you are somewhere else and you want this, tell us on the waiting list and we will write when we open there.
11 / Children
Leaders Lab is for people running a business. It is not for children. You must be at least 18 years old.
12 / If this page changes
We will email you before a change that affects how your data is used. We will not quietly widen what we do with it.
13 / Contact
Email AustinTylerArmstrong@yahoo.com.
