Privacy, in plain English
Last updated August 2, 2026. No legalese padding — this page says what we actually do. If anything here ever contradicts how the site behaves, tell us and we'll fix whichever one is wrong.
What we collect
- Deadline alerts (/alerts): your email, state, focus areas, and optional organization type.
- Weekly digest: your email, optional organization type and category interests.
- Fit checks, match reports, and drafts: your organization's name, EIN, mission and program description, the grant you point us at (URL or PDF), and your contact email.
- Payments: handled entirely by Stripe on Stripe's own checkout pages. Card numbers never touch our servers and we never see them. Stripe tells us the order was paid and the email you used at checkout.
- Site analytics: standard server logs, our own first-party page-view log (page path, referrer, browser user-agent — no account, no profile), and Google Analytics, which sets its own cookies.
What we do with it
Deliver the service you asked for. That's the whole list. Specifically:
- Never sold. Not to anyone, not ever.
- Never shared with third parties — except the processors that make the service physically run: Stripe (payments), Resend and Google Workspace (sending and answering email), DigitalOcean (hosting), Google Analytics (site traffic), and Anthropic (the AI assistance described below). Each sees only what it needs to do its job.
- No advertising use. We don't run ads, retarget you, or feed your data to ad networks.
- No training AI models on your data. Your intake and documents are used to produce your deliverable, not to train anything.
Your drafts and fit-check content
What you tell us about your organization and program is used only to produce your deliverable — the fit check, match report, or draft you ordered. As the /drafts page says: deliverables are prepared with AI assistance (Anthropic's Claude) and reviewed by a human before anything is sent to you. Your information is never reused for other customers, marketing, or model training.
Retention and deletion
We keep your data while we're providing you the service — your alert profile while your alerts are active, your order details while we might still owe you something (delivery, the refund window, a reply). Want it gone? Email anthony@grantsdue.com and we'll delete your data. That's the process; there's no form.
Every email we send — alerts, digest, order emails — carries a one-click unsubscribe that works immediately. Unsubscribing from one of our emails stops that stream; we don't quietly re-add you.
