This data is collected by Netlify as part of standard web hosting operations. The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest in maintaining the security and functionality of our website. See Netlify's Privacy Policy for details.
Our newsletters are distributed through Beehiiv. When you subscribe to a DeepStrategy.ai newsletter, Beehiiv may collect additional data including email open rates, link clicks, and engagement metrics. This data helps us understand what content is valuable to our readers. See Beehiiv's Privacy Policy for details.
We use the information we collect to:
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We do not use your information for targeted advertising.
If you use our scenario planning services or other analytical platforms, you may submit business information, strategic context, company data, or other proprietary materials ("User-Submitted Data"). This section addresses how we handle that data.
User-Submitted Data is processed solely to deliver the services you have requested. This processing may involve transmission to AI service providers (currently Anthropic's Claude) for analysis and scenario generation. We select AI partners that maintain appropriate data security and handling standards.
We treat all User-Submitted Data as confidential. We will not share your business data with other clients, use it in our published content, or disclose it to third parties except as necessary to deliver the service or as required by law.
We may use aggregated, anonymized insights derived from platform usage to improve our methodologies, refine our analytical frameworks, and develop benchmark datasets. No individually identifiable business data will be included in such aggregated datasets. If we intend to use aggregated data in published materials (such as trend analyses or methodology validation), we will ensure that no individual client, company, or engagement can be identified.
You retain ownership of all data you submit to our platforms. Platform outputs generated for you (scenario analyses, reports, briefings) are delivered to you as part of the service engagement. DeepStrategy.ai retains intellectual property rights in its methodologies, frameworks, and analytical approaches, but not in your underlying business data.
We use the following third-party services that may process your data:
| Service | Purpose | Data Processed | Privacy Policy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Netlify | Website hosting | Server logs, IP addresses | netlify.com/privacy |
| Beehiiv | Newsletter distribution | Email, engagement data | beehiiv.com/privacy |
| Google Workspace | Email communications | Email content, contacts | policies.google.com/privacy |
| Anthropic (Claude) | AI-assisted analysis | Content processed for analysis | anthropic.com/privacy |
As we introduce new products and services, additional third-party services may be used. This policy will be updated accordingly. We will not engage third-party processors without ensuring they provide adequate data protection safeguards.

Our services are designed for business professionals and are not directed at individuals under the age of 18 (or the applicable age of majority in your jurisdiction).
