Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how tonybeal.net (the "Site"), Tony Beal’s personal consulting, publishing and AI systems practice, handles information when you visit the Site or contact Tony. FieldKnown is a separate customer-path company founded by Tony; activity on FieldKnown.com is governed by the company’s own privacy policy.
1. Information We Collect
This Site collects limited information when you choose to provide it or when analytics tools record website usage data. Specifically:
- Bottleneck diagnostic data: Name, work email, company, website, company size, industry, offer, primary customer, lead sources, CRM, lead volume, response ownership, follow-up process, business goal, urgency, preferred contact method and permission to contact. A completed diagnostic creates private company, contact, lead and diagnostic records in Tony’s Command Center.
- Diagnostic uploads: Public attachments are disabled in the first release because no malware scanner or trusted image re-encoding pipeline is active. The private Supabase Storage bucket is owner-only and restricted to approved raster-image formats; Tony may request a relevant screenshot after direct review.
- Other contact forms: Some dedicated pages may continue to use FormSubmit to deliver a limited inquiry to tbeal@tonybeal.net. Those forms do not authorize autonomous outreach or a proposal.
- Direct email: If you email Tony directly, your message and contact information are handled in the email inbox used to reply.
- Phone or text contact: If you call or text the published business number, the telephone provider and receiving device process your number, message and standard connection information so Tony can respond.
- Analytics data: Pages visited, time on site, general geographic region (country/city level), device type, and referring URL — collected through Google Analytics (GA4) and associated with pseudonymous identifiers.
- Campaign attribution: If a visit includes standard campaign parameters, such as UTM tags or an advertising click identifier, the first-touch values, submission page and referring page may be attached to an inquiry so Tony can understand which source produced it.
- Private Command Center authentication: The restricted Command Center uses Supabase Auth, browser storage and a one-time email link for Tony’s confirmed business account. Authenticated records are filtered by row-level security and are not placed in the public website bundle.
- Payment and billing links: TonyBeal.net does not currently present a Stripe checkout or invoice as active or tested. If a hosted payment path is activated and tested for an approved engagement in the future, Tony may direct you to that external page. TonyBeal.net forms will not request or store a complete card number, security code or bank-account credential. FieldKnown and the selected processor describe their own processing on their respective privacy and payment pages.
2. How Information Is Used
Contact and analytics information is used solely to:
- Reply by an appropriate channel and schedule relevant follow-up
- Prepare a clearly labeled preliminary bottleneck analysis and a private human-review record
- Protect, organize and review optional supporting evidence
- Understand which pages and content are most useful to visitors
- Improve the site's content, structure, and performance
- Measure audience reach, campaign sources, and qualified inquiries
- Prepare an approved invoice, confirm a payment, maintain business records, provide support and resolve a billing question
This data is never sold, rented, or shared with any third party for marketing purposes.
Human approval boundary: The Site may preserve attribution, validate an intake, apply a rule-based preliminary category and store a private record. That preliminary result is based only on the information supplied and is not independent verification. Tony reviews the inquiry before any proposal, price, customer-facing follow-up, publishing decision, application or outreach. The Site does not operate an autonomous sales agent and does not independently send prospecting messages, spend money or make consequential customer decisions.
3. Third-Party Services
This Site uses the following third-party services that may set cookies or collect data independently:
- Google Analytics (GA4): Provides aggregated and pseudonymous site usage statistics. Google may process data according to its own privacy policies. See Google's Privacy Policy.
- Cloudflare Turnstile: Provides the human-verification check on the bottleneck diagnostic to reduce automated abuse. Cloudflare may process ordinary connection, browser and challenge-response data for that security purpose. See Cloudflare’s Privacy Policy.
- Supabase: Provides the isolated database, authentication, Edge Function processing and owner-only private image storage used by the bottleneck diagnostic and Tony’s Command Center. Public diagnostic requests are validated and rate-limited before storage; public attachments are rejected, and access to private tables and files is controlled by authentication and row-level security. See Supabase’s Privacy Policy.
- FormSubmit: Some dedicated contact forms may still use FormSubmit to forward an inquiry by email. FormSubmit does not receive authorization from this Site to send follow-up or alter a private opportunity record.
- Synthesia: Was used to produce Tony’s founder film. The released homepage MP4 and caption file are served directly by TonyBeal.net, so playing that film does not send a runtime video request to Synthesia. A separate FieldKnown film remains streamed from Synthesia’s AWS-hosted media service only when a visitor chooses to play it; that request may disclose ordinary connection data such as the visitor’s IP address, browser details and referring page to Synthesia or AWS.
- FieldKnown: A separate customer-path company founded by Tony Beal. Links from TonyBeal.net to FieldKnown.com are external company links. See FieldKnown’s Privacy Policy.
- Future payment processor: If Stripe is later activated and tested for an approved engagement, opening its hosted checkout or invoice would send transaction and payment details directly to Stripe under its own privacy notice. No active Stripe flow is represented on this Site today. See Stripe's Privacy Policy.
- LinkedIn and other external links: External platforms may collect data according to their own policies when you visit them.

5. Data Retention
Analytics data retained by Google Analytics follows Google's configured retention settings. Diagnostic, lead, relationship and supporting-document records are reviewed periodically and kept only as long as reasonably needed for evaluation, normal business communication, security, evidence and follow-up. Transaction, invoice, contract and related business records may be kept as needed for service delivery, accounting, tax, fraud prevention, dispute resolution and other legal recordkeeping duties. You may request deletion as described below, subject to records that must reasonably be retained.
