Information the form collects
The contact form asks for your name, email address, and the problem you are trying to solve. Company or organization and timing are optional. The form also records your required permission to process the inquiry and, only if you choose it, separate permission to receive occasional writing or updates.
Why it is collected
Inquiry information is used to understand the problem, decide whether Stoin may be a useful fit, respond to you, operate and secure the intake process, prevent abuse, and maintain an appropriate record of consent. Basic request metadata may be processed for delivery, rate limiting, and security.
Processing and storage
The contact service stores a valid inquiry before attempting email delivery to Ray. Supabase provides the private application database, Proton provides email delivery and Ray’s mailbox, and Render hosts the website and contact service. The browser never receives database or email credentials. No automatic receipt is sent to the visitor.
Retention
An inquiry that does not become an engagement is scheduled for retention review after 12 months. Short-lived hashed rate-limit identifiers are retained for no more than 30 days. Engagement records may be subject to contractual, accounting, legal, or professional requirements.
Separate marketing choice
Permission to review and respond to an inquiry is not permission to send marketing messages. The optional subscription choice is separate, unchecked by default, and can be withdrawn.
Synthetic systems and Cloud Lucy
Submitting the form does not authorize model training, general memory ingestion, cross-business sharing, or automated acceptance decisions. Any later use of synthetic systems requires a separately agreed scope and defined authorization.
