Privacy Policy

Short version: we do not use cookies, we do not run Google Analytics, we do not run Meta Pixel, we do not sell your data, and we do not build behavioral profiles. The longer version is below. It is written in plain language because privacy notices that require a lawyer to parse are not actually privacy notices.

Who we are

FidelicAI is a DBA of Memetica Corp, a corporation incorporated in the state of New York. We operate this website (fidelic.ai). Questions about this policy go to hello@fidelic.ai.

Cookies and tracking

We do not set cookies on this site. We do not load Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, or any other behavioral-advertising pixel. There is no consent banner because there is nothing to consent to.

Two cookieless measurement tools run on the site so we can see traffic volume and page performance:

• Vercel Web Analytics — counts page views and shows top referrers and countries. It does not use cookies and does not collect personal identifiers. See Vercel's analytics privacy notice.
• Vercel Speed Insights — measures Core Web Vitals (page load, input delay) anonymously. Also cookieless.

If we ever turn on session-replay tooling (Microsoft Clarity is wired in but disabled), we will update this page before it goes live and disclose what it records.

What we collect when you actively give it

We do collect data when you take an action that requires it. Specifically:

• Email updates and waitlist signups. When you submit the email form in our footer or on a waitlist page, we store your email address and the context around the signup: which page you signed up from, which source brought you here (UTM parameters), the referring site, and your first landing path. This lets us understand which essays and pages actually move people to subscribe. We use this for our own analytics and to send you the updates you asked for. We do not share this list.
• Emails you send us. Anything you write to hello@fidelic.ai is read by people who work at FidelicAI and stored in our inbox for as long as the conversation is useful to continue.
• Server logs. Our hosting provider (Vercel) records standard request logs — IP address, user agent, requested path, timestamp — for short retention. These are operational logs used for debugging and abuse prevention, not analytics. Vercel describes its data handling in its privacy policy.

Where your data lives

• Sanity stores our website content and the waitlist signups described above. Hosted in the United States. See Sanity's privacy policy.
• Vercel hosts the site and runs the analytics and speed insights described above.
• Resend / Postmark deliver any transactional or update email we send you.

We do not use third-party advertising networks. We have no data brokers in our stack.

AI engines and crawlers

FidelicAI is content that wants to be read — by people, and by AI engines that summarize and cite. We allow GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, and Google-Extended to crawl us. Our llms.txt explains how the site is organized and what to cite. Our robots.txt lists which crawlers we welcome. None of this involves your data — only ours.

Your choices

• Remove yourself from the email list. Every email we send has an unsubscribe link. You can also email hello@fidelic.ai and we will remove you and delete the record.
• Request your data or its deletion. Email hello@fidelic.ai. We aim to respond within seven days. We will ask you to confirm the email address on file so we can match the record.
• Block analytics in your browser. Vercel Web Analytics respects standard tracking-prevention signals; if you use a privacy-focused browser or extension, the analytics endpoint will not load. The site itself will work exactly the same.

Children

This site is not directed to people under 16. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

Changes to this policy

We will update this page when our practices change. The "last updated" timestamp at the top reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be announced in our email updates before they take effect.
