Privacy Policy
Effective November 12, 2026
Who we are
As-I-Am Consulting Group ("AsIAm", "we") runs asiamconsultinggroup.com. This policy covers what we collect on this site, why we collect it, and what you can do about it.
Questions or requests go to info@asiamconsultinggroup.com.
What we collect
We collect only what you give us, in these places.
- Signing up for "Things you didn't know you should care about." Your name, your email, how you signed up (an emailed code, Google or LinkedIn), when you first signed up and last signed in, and which email boxes you ticked. If you sign in with Google or LinkedIn, we also keep the account identifier our sign-in service assigns you.
- Contacting us or booking a discovery call. Your message reaches us by email. We receive whatever you send, such as your name, email address and message.
- Asking a question in the West Orange Ledger. The text you type is sent to an AI service to write the answer. We use Google Gemini, with OpenRouter as a backup. Cloudflare, which runs the question service, may keep your question in its logs for a short time. Please don't type personal details into it.
- The free self-assessment. When you take the online Symbolic-to-Structural Index, we store your answers and the contact details you enter in a Google Sheet.
We do not ask for payment details, government ID numbers or passwords on this site.
How sign in works
You can sign up for the tools page with an emailed code, with Google or with LinkedIn. We never see a password.
- An emailed code. We email a 6-digit code to the address you enter. It expires after 15 minutes.
- Google or LinkedIn. You sign in on Google's or LinkedIn's own page. Our sign-in service, Auth0 (part of Okta), then passes us your name, your email and an account identifier.
After you sign in, your browser keeps a signed token for 180 days, so you don't have to sign in again on that device.
Where your information lives
We keep the sign-up list in a Google Sheet that only AsIAm can open. These services handle your information so the site can run.
| Service | What it does for us | What it handles |
|---|---|---|
| Google (Sheets, Gmail, Apps Script) | Stores the sign-up list and self-assessment answers, and sends sign-in codes | Name, email, sign-up details, self-assessment answers |
| Google Gemini and OpenRouter | Write the answers to West Orange Ledger questions | The questions you type |
| Auth0 (Okta) | Runs Google and LinkedIn sign-in | Name, email, account identifier |
| Google and LinkedIn | Confirm who you are when you choose them | Your account sign-in |
| Squarespace | Hosts this website | Pages you visit, and anything you submit through the site |
| Cloudflare | Runs the West Orange Ledger's question service | The questions you type |
We do not sell or rent your information. We share it only with the services above, as needed to run the site, or when the law requires it.
Security of your personal information
AsIAm limits who can reach the personal information we collect. The sign-up list sits in a Google Sheet that only AsIAm can open, and the services listed above protect what they hold with their own safeguards.
No data transmission over the internet is ever entirely secure. We work to protect your information, but we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of anything you send to our site.
Email we send you
We email you only for these reasons:
- Sign-in codes you ask for.
- A short note when we add new links to the tools page, if you ticked that box.
- The AsIAm quarterly newsletter, a review of the quarter, if you ticked that box.
Both boxes start unticked, and signing up without them sends you nothing else. To stop either email, reply to it or write to info@asiamconsultinggroup.com and we will take you off within 10 days.
Cookies and browser storage
- Squarespace sets cookies to run the site and, through its analytics, to count visits. A cookie banner tells you about them when you first visit.
- The tools page saves your sign-in token in your browser's local storage, so the tools stay open on your next visit. Clearing your browser data removes it.
- Auth0 may set its own cookie while you sign in with Google or LinkedIn.
We do not use advertising cookies or sell data to advertisers.
Third-party websites
This site links to websites we do not run, including the tools and websites on "Things you didn't know you should care about" and our Instagram page. AsIAm is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of other websites. Any information you give those sites is governed by their own privacy policies.
We strongly encourage you to read and understand the privacy policy of any third-party website before you give it your personal information.
Your choices
- See, fix or delete what we hold. Write to info@asiamconsultinggroup.com. Deleting your sign-up also ends your access to the gated tools on every device.
- How long we keep it. Until you ask us to delete it, or until we close the tools page or the newsletter.
- Children. Our site is not intended for minors younger than 13 years of age, and AsIAm does not knowingly collect any personal information of minors through our site. If you believe we have collected personal information from a minor younger than 13 years of age, please contact us at info@asiamconsultinggroup.com.
- Changes. If this policy changes, we will update it here and change the effective date at the top.
