Privacy Policy

Effective Date: July 20, 2026 Last Updated: July 21, 2026

Welcome to Ghost Hat Studio. We are dedicated to the pursuit of digital sovereignty, empowering startups and entrepreneurs to build agentic AI pipelines that they own and control. In our mission to move the world toward a sovereign technological future, we treat your privacy not as a secondary requirement, but as a fundamental component of the trust we build together.

This Privacy Policy describes how Ghost Hat Studio ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects your information when you visit our website (www.ghosthatsudio.com), enroll in our online courses, interact with our AI-led chat services, or utilize our sample code repositories.

To provide a visionary learning experience and high-quality AI services, we collect the following types of information:

Personal Identification Information: Name, email address, and professional affiliation provided during course registration or newsletter sign-up.

Interaction Data: In our AI-led courses, we collect the text, queries, and data you input into our AI chat interfaces ("Input Data") and the resulting AI-generated responses ("Output Data").

Technical and Usage Data: IP addresses, browser types, device information, and patterns of usage on our website collected via cookies and similar tracking technologies.

Payment Information: For future paid services, we will collect transaction details. Note that Ghost Hat Studio does not store full credit card numbers; all payments are processed through secure, third-party PCI-compliant payment processors.

Ghost Hat Studio utilizes your data to:

Deliver, maintain, and personalize our self-paced online courses.

Facilitate the AI chat functionality and improve the accuracy of our agentic pipelines.

Communicate updates regarding new sovereign AI tools, course materials, and live sessions.

Analyze website performance to ensure our infrastructure remains optimized for our community.

Ensure the security and integrity of our sovereign AI environment.

In alignment with our company values, we strive to minimize data residency on third-party cloud platforms where possible. However, to provide our website and course authentication services, your data may be stored on secured servers located in the United States. By using our services, you acknowledge and consent to this processing and storage.

Our services include integration with third-party platforms, most notably GitHub.

GitHub Repositories: When you pull sample code from our GitHub repositories, your interaction with that code is governed by GitHub’s own Privacy Policy and the specific Open Source License (e.g., MIT or Apache 2.0) attached to the repository.

External Links: Our courses may link to third-party tools or documentation. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these external entities.

A. AI-Generated Content: Users acknowledge that the AI chat provided in our courses may generate outputs that are experimental in nature. While we strive for accuracy, Ghost Hat Studio does not guarantee the reliability of AI-generated content. B. Data Usage for Model Improvement: We may use anonymized and de-identified Input Data to refine our sovereign AI models and educational materials. C. Implementation Risk: Ghost Hat Studio provides sample code and AI instructions for educational purposes. We expressly disclaim all liability for any harm, data loss, or system failure resulting from the user's implementation of this code or AI-generated suggestions on their own infrastructure or third-party systems.

As a resident of Washington State or other jurisdictions with applicable privacy laws (such as CCPA/CPRA or GDPR), you may have the right to:

Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.

Correction: Request that we update or correct inaccurate information.

Deletion: Request the erasure of your personal data, subject to legal and contractual obligations.

Opt-Out: Unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time via the link provided in our emails.

To exercise these rights, please contact us at the email address provided below.

We implement industry-standard administrative, technical, and physical security measures designed to protect your information from unauthorized access, loss, or alteration. Despite these efforts, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

As Ghost Hat Studio evolves and our sovereign AI offerings expand, we may update this Privacy Policy. We will notify you of any significant changes by posting the new policy on our website and updating the "Effective Date."
