What we collect
The texts you send and receive through the app. Email sent or forwarded to your assistant's email address. Photos you add to a project. The recordings and written text of your spoken walk-throughs. Project details, addresses and money numbers — budgets, bids, payments, receipts. What the app records about the work — who did what, and when.
What we do not keep
The app reads the email sent or forwarded to your assistant's address. Email about one of your projects is kept, with its files, until you delete it — and so is email the app can't place, or that has payment details in it, so you can check it. A receipt booked from an email keeps its own copy of the receipt's file with the purchase, even after the email is deleted, and anyone on your team who sees spending on that project can open it. Any other email is never kept by the app: only a count of how many came. We keep only what you and your team send or put into the app, and what the app records about that work.
Outside services that handle it, and why
These outside companies each do one job, and none of them see more than that job needs:
The AI model (Anthropic) — Reads your messages and questions to answer them and to draft texts you review before they send. It also reads each email sent to your assistant's address, to tell whether it is about one of your projects — including the email the app then doesn't keep.
Speech to text (Deepgram) — Turns a recorded walk-through into written words so it can be searched and read back.
Texting (Quo) — Sends and delivers the texts the app sends and receives, on the app's own number.
Email (Resend) — Sends your sign-in code and invitations, and receives every email sent or forwarded to your assistant's address before the app reads it. Resend deletes each email it receives after 30 days.
The database and file storage (Supabase) — Holds everything listed above — it is where your account's information actually lives.
The nightly copy (Cloudflare R2) — Each night, a second copy of your photos, your recordings, and the email kept for your projects with its files is saved to a second company's storage, so a problem with the first one does not lose them.
Address lookup (Google Maps) — Suggests the full address while you type a project's address.
Weather (US Census Bureau, Open-Meteo, National Weather Service) — A project's address or town is turned into a map point, and that point is used to get the forecast for the job.
Running the app (Vercel) — Runs the app itself, so every page and message passes through it.
Problem reports (Sentry) — Tells us when the app breaks so we can fix it, with private details stripped out before it is sent.
Who owns your data
You do. Investor Studio LLC holds your account's information so the app can run. You can get a copy of it or have it deleted at any time — see the next section.
We never sell your account's own data, or anything that names you, your company, or anyone on your team.
Figures combined from many customers
We combine figures from many customers, with every name, address and phone number taken out — what labor costs by trade and by area, how long work takes, and what houses like yours needed. We use these combined figures to make the app better for everyone.
We may share or sell these combined figures. They never name a customer or a person.
What other customers can see about a company
The app records facts about the work a company does — whether it shows up on time, its punch items and callbacks, whether its insurance is current. Other customers may see these facts as signals about that company.
A signal only shows when three or more different customer accounts back it, and it never says who reported it.
Getting a copy, or having it deleted
Write to steve@investor-studio.com to ask for a copy of your account's information as a file, or to ask that it be deleted. We will reply, and tell you when it is done.
Records we keep either way
Receipts and paperwork tied to a real project — a bid, a contract, a payment — are kept as business records, even after a delete request. Everything else in your account is removed.
Texting consent
When you text the app's join word, or put your own phone number into the app to get texts, you agree to receive texts about your work from the app's number. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to any text to stop receiving them, or HELP for help.
Keeping it safe
We take reasonable steps to keep your information safe, and no system is completely safe. If you have a concern, write to steve@investor-studio.com.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy in a way that matters, we will tell you in the app before the change takes effect.
