Privacy policy
Brandvious, Inc. ("we" or "us") runs entities.org. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit the site, ask for a record or email us, and what we do with it.
Information we collect
-
When you visit
Vercel hosts entities.org. Vercel receives your IP address so they can send you the page, and they may keep server logs that include it under their own policy. Our own code does not read or store your IP address.
Our code records visits from search engine crawlers, AI crawlers and other bots. It also records visits from people who reach a page by clicking a link in an AI assistant, such as ChatGPT or Perplexity. It does not record other visits from ordinary browsers.
For each recorded visit we keep the name of the bot or assistant and the page address, including anything after the question mark. We also keep the time and the result our server sent back, such as page found or not found.
Each visit record also holds the details your browser sends about itself, called the user agent, and the full address of the page you came from.
We do not add a name or email to visit records. We store page addresses as they arrive, so we also store anything inside the link you followed, or in the address of the page you came from.
We run no analytics, advertising or tracking scripts in your browser. Our own server code makes the visit records described above.

When you send us something
If you ask for a record through our form, we receive the details you enter about a company, such as their name, website and industry. These can include the name of their leader and links to their public profiles.
The form also asks for your name and work email.
If you email support@entities.org or privacy@entities.org, we receive your email address and your message.
How we use your information
- To send you pages and keep the site running.
- To see which pages bots and people arriving from AI assistants read.
- To reply about your request or email. We use your email only for that. We do not publish your name or email as the person who sent the request.
- To research a company you asked us to add. AI tools draft a first version of the record from public sources. A record built from a request stays a draft. It goes live only after a person on our team reviews it.
Who sees your information
We do not sell your information or share it for advertising. These services help us run the site:
- Vercel hosts the site.
- Supabase holds our database, including records, visit records and requests.
- Fly.io runs the service that receives requests from the form.
- Resend emails each request, with your name and email, to our team.
- Namecheap Private Email hosts our team email, including support@entities.org and privacy@entities.org.
- Slack, our team chat, gets a message about each request, with your name and email.
When we draft a record from a request, the AI and research services we use receive that company's name, website and LinkedIn page. They do not receive your name or email.
Some visit information is public. The page at entities.org/analytics shows totals and a list of recent recorded visits.
For each visit, the list shows the bot or assistant, the page, the site the visit came from, the record and the time. It also shows anything after the question mark in the page address.
The list leaves out the user agent and the full address of the page a visitor came from.
Cookies
We set no cookies for visitors, and our code stores nothing in your browser. You can block cookies and still use all of entities.org.
Our team uses one cookie to preview draft records. We set it only after a team member enters a private code, and it lasts one hour.
Requests and corrections
Email privacy@entities.org with any question or request about your information.
If a record names you and something about you is wrong, email support@entities.org, as described on report a mistake.
We check your report against the record's sources. If it holds up, we correct the record. If it does not, we reply to say why.
Records name people only for their role at a company, never with a personal email, phone number or home address.
We do not sell or share personal information for advertising.
Keeping and protecting information
We have not yet set a time limit for keeping visit records, requests, or the emails and chat messages about requests. The same goes for other emails you send us. For now, we keep them with no fixed end date.
We send every page over HTTPS.
Children
entities.org is for business readers. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16.
Changes to this policy
We will post any new version on this page and change the date at the top.
