cirlet Talk to Tyler

Privacy.

This page covers the cirlet.com website: what the contact form sends and how visits are counted. The Cirlet application at app.cirlet.com is separate, and apart from its Google Drive backup (below), this page doesn't describe how it handles agency records. Please don't put customer records or passwords in the website form.

The contact form

When you send the form, what you entered is emailed to me at tyler@cirlet.com through Cloudflare's email service, with your address set as the one to reply to: your name, email address, agency name if you gave one, the topic you chose and your message. The website doesn't store your message anywhere else. If a link or referring page identifies Animas AI, the agency security desk, or the Missouri or national insurance agency directory, the email may also include that source name. This is a visitor-supplied hint, not proof of how you found me; it includes no browsing history.

Just before that, your agency name, chosen topic and message are processed by Cloudflare Workers AI, whose model checks whether the message is a sales pitch, or says nothing about what you'd like. If the message is a pitch or says nothing about what you'd like, it isn't emailed, the website doesn't keep it, and the page tells you why, with my address in case it got it wrong. Short notes, such as a follow-up after we met, are meant to go through. If the check is unavailable, the form keeps your message and asks you to retry or email me.

Sending the form doesn't add you to a newsletter or a mailing list.

Questions and chats from the earlier site

An earlier version of this site let visitors ask questions and talk to a form-filling agent, and kept those questions and conversations for 90 days with email addresses, links and phone numbers removed. The site no longer collects them, and what was kept is deleted when it reaches 90 days.

Your browser

The site sets no cookies. If you arrive through a tagged insurance-directory or agency-security-desk link, your browser may keep that source name in that tab's session storage so it can be included if you later send the contact form. It is removed after the form is sent, when a different tagged source is visited, or when the tab's session ends. It contains no name, contact details or browsing history. Cloudflare Web Analytics counts visits: Cloudflare adds a small script to each page that reports the page viewed, without cookies, and I see only totals, such as page views, the sites that sent visitors, countries, browsers and how fast pages loaded. The site also counts daily totals of arrivals at the Quickstart and Security Sprint pages tagged by either directory. Those totals contain the date, directory and destination, whether a request was a test, and a count, not names, contact details, IP addresses or browsing histories; repeat visits and automated requests may be counted. Cloudflare temporarily uses an IP address to limit repeated counts. Apart from the analytics script, everything on these pages comes from the site itself.

Cirlet browser extensions

The Agency Text Expander, Email Header Explainer, Screenshot Privacy Editor and Prompt Privacy Checker process the text, headers and images you provide in your browser. They do not send that content to Cirlet. They do not include analytics or advertising.

Agency Text Expander saves your snippets in the extension's local browser storage. Its active-tab and scripting permissions let it insert a snippet into the current page when you choose Insert. You can export or import snippets as a file. Removing the extension may remove its saved snippets; an exported file stays where you saved it.

Email Header Explainer and Prompt Privacy Checker process the text you paste in their windows. The screenshot editor processes an image you open or the screen or window you choose to capture. When you copy text or export an image, the result goes to your device's clipboard or saved file. Review exports before sharing them.

The extensions include links to Cirlet websites. If you follow one, the website receives the request and its own privacy information applies. To ask about an extension, email tyler@cirlet.com.

Google Drive backup in the application

In the Cirlet application, an agency owner can choose Back up to Google Drive to save a copy of their agency's records and documents into a "Cirlet backups" folder in their own Google Drive.

  • What Cirlet asks Google for: only the drive.file permission. With it, Cirlet can see and change only the files it creates in your Drive, never your other files.
  • Where your Google sign-in goes: it stays in your browser. Your browser sends the backup straight to Google. Cirlet's servers never receive your Google sign-in or the files in your Drive.
  • What Cirlet does with Google data: nothing beyond creating that backup folder and saving the backup files you ask for. It isn't stored by Cirlet, shared, sold, used for advertising or used to train AI models.
  • Turning it off: remove Cirlet's access at any time in your Google Account under Security, then Third-party apps and services. The backups stay in your Drive until you delete them.

Cirlet's use of information received from Google APIs follows the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
