Privacy Policy
The short version
- When you grab a free workflow or guide, I keep your name, email and your answer to the one fun question on the form.
- I use them to give you what you asked for, to see which videos people come from, and (only if you've agreed) to email you now and then.
- I never sell, rent or trade your details. Email me any time to see, fix or delete them.
Who I am
aaronautomates is run by Aaron Parton, trading as Mycelium AI (ABN 30 520 399 153), in Western Australia. In this policy "I", "me" and "my" mean Aaron Parton / Mycelium AI. Questions or requests: aaron@myceliumai.com.au.
What I collect
When you sign up for something
- Your name and email address.
- Your answer to the question on that form (for example your home surf break, favourite fish or watch idea).
- Whether you ticked the Lazy Genius Club waitlist box.
- Which app or website you came from (for example Instagram, TikTok, YouTube or Google). This is worked out automatically from information your browser sends: the name of the in-app browser, the website that linked to the page and any tracking tags on the link. I keep only the platform name and these short clues, never your full browsing history.
- A scrambled, one-way code made from your IP address, used to stop spam and repeat sign-ups. I don't keep the IP address itself.
When you visit the pages
- An anonymous visit counter records which page was viewed or clicked, the referring website, any link tag, whether you're on mobile or desktop, and your approximate country, region and city as supplied by my hosting provider. It sets no cookies and doesn't store your IP address.
- A small note of where you came from is saved in your own browser's storage for up to 30 days, so a sign-up a few pages later is still credited to the right platform. You can clear it by clearing your browser's site data.
- Some pages use the Meta Pixel, a tool from Meta (Facebook and Instagram). It uses cookies to tell Meta that a page was visited, so I can measure and improve my content and ads. Meta handles that information under its own privacy policy, and you can control ad settings in your Meta account.
How I use it
- To deliver the guide, workflow or tool you asked for.
- To add you to the Lazy Genius Club waitlist, if you ticked the box.
- To understand which videos and platforms people find me through, so I make more of what's useful.
- To keep the list clean: I check that an email's domain can receive mail, and filter out spam and fake sign-ups.
- To email you about new free tools, the Club and related things, but only if you've agreed to hear from me. Every email has an unsubscribe link, and I'll stop straight away if you use it.
Who helps me run it
I use a few trusted service providers to store and process your details. They only use them to provide their service to me:
- Supabase: the databases that store sign-ups (servers in Australia and Japan).
- Vercel: hosts the website (servers in the United States and elsewhere).
- MailerLite: my email list service.
- Google: email (Gmail), and a public lookup that checks an email domain can receive mail (only the domain is sent, never your full address).
- Meta: the Meta Pixel described above.
Some of these providers store data outside Australia, including in the United States, Japan and the European Union. I choose providers with strong security, but by signing up you understand your details may be held overseas.
I don't sell, rent or trade your details, and I'll only disclose them if the law requires it.
How long I keep it
I keep your details while you're on my list. Ask me to delete them and I will, apart from anything I'm legally required to keep.
Your choices
- See, fix or delete your details: email aaron@myceliumai.com.au and I'll sort it, usually within a few days.
- Stop emails: click unsubscribe in any email, or just reply and ask.
- Cookies: you can block or clear cookies and site data in your browser settings. The free tools still work.
Security
Your details are stored with access-controlled providers, and access is restricted to running this business. No system is perfectly secure, but if something ever went wrong in a way that put you at risk, I'd let you know.
Kids
These free tools are meant for adults. If you're under 16, please get a parent or guardian's OK before signing up.
Complaints and changes
If you're unhappy with how I've handled your details, email me first and I'll work it out with you. If you're still not satisfied you can contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner at oaic.gov.au.
I may update this policy as things change. The date at the top shows the latest version.
