Privacy Policy
Confidential by default.
What we collect
Details you send through our contact form (name, email, project brief and any optional details), and for writers, the account email, profile and samples you submit.
How we use it
Only to reply to enquiries, scope and deliver work, review writer applications and run The Grid. We never sell, rent or trade your information.
Lab & browser extension
AI analysis sends only text you choose to submit to GhostNode and our AI provider for processing. GhostNode does not save this text; the provider endpoint is configured for zero data retention. Provenance Stamp and Image Origin run on your device; Provenance Stamp sends only a text fingerprint (never the text) to public OpenTimestamps servers. The extension temporarily holds selected text to open the tool, then clears it. Usage counters and hashed connection identifiers protect allowances; they do not contain your text. Do not submit confidential or sensitive personal information.
Desk tools
Invoice Builder and Redactor work in your browser. Invoices, financial drafts and redaction dictionaries are kept in your browser's storage on your device; source notes stay in memory and are never sent to or stored on our servers.
Anti-Vocabulary™ & Radar
Anti-Vocabulary scans return only matches in your text; your draft isn't stored. Radar research runs on public sources. Shared Radar dossiers are private links that expire automatically after 30 days and are not indexed by search engines.
Payments & payouts
Purchases (such as scan top-ups and sponsor slots) are processed by Stripe; we never see or store your full card details. Approved writers who add a Wise payout email have it stored solely to send Sponsor Pool payouts.
Confidentiality
Briefs, drafts and embargoed material are treated as confidential, never pasted into public AI tools and never used to train any model.
Storage & security
Data is held with encrypted connections and access is limited to GhostNode PR staff who need it. Uploaded writer images are stored privately and served through expiring links.
Analytics & cookies
We do not use tracking cookies, advertising pixels or cross-site fingerprinting. Site analytics and article read counters are anonymous and cookie-free: they count visits in aggregate without storing your IP address, device identifier or browsing history. Readership figures shown to writers or sponsors are aggregate counts only.
Your choices
You can ask us to see, correct or delete your information at any time by emailing hello@ghostnodepr.com. Writers can edit or remove their samples from their portal.
