This page covers this website and the email I exchange with you about my work. I'm James Clarke-Lister, a consultant in Calgary, Alberta. Anything you want to ask about your information comes to me at james@jclarkelister.com.

What I collect, and why

  • Contact form. Your name, email address, inquiry type, timeline and message, plus your organization and how you found me if you add them. I use them to reply to you.
  • Booking a call. Cal.com runs the booking page. It collects your name, email address and anything else you enter there, and tells me about the booking so we can meet.
  • Email. If we email each other, I have your name, email address, organization and what we wrote. I keep a private spreadsheet of who I have been in touch with, when, and what comes next, so I can follow up properly.
  • If I emailed you first. When I write to you about my consulting or speaking, I found your address in a public listing, such as your organization's website, and it sits in the same spreadsheet.
  • Visiting the site. Vercel Web Analytics counts page views: the page, the site you came from, your general location, and your browser and device type. It uses no third-party cookies and tells visits apart with a hash that is discarded after 24 hours. The site sets no cookies of its own and has no advertising trackers.
  • Your IP address. Vercel handles it to serve each page, and the contact form uses it briefly to slow down abuse. I do not save it.

Who helps me, and where

These service providers handle the information above for me. All of them are based outside Canada.

  • Vercel (United States) hosts the site and counts page views.
  • Resend (United States) delivers contact form messages to my inbox.
  • Cal.com (United States) runs the booking page.
  • Proton (Switzerland, Germany or Norway) holds my email.
  • Google (United States and other countries) holds my spreadsheet of contacts.
  • Anthropic (United States) Claude, its AI model, reads incoming email to summarize it for me and helps me draft replies.
  • Telegram (based in Dubai, with data centres in several countries) sends your name and organization, the subject and that summary to my phone.
  • Apple (United States and other countries) holds my calendar, where booked calls and meeting invitations appear.

I do not sell your information or share it for advertising.

How long I keep it

I keep it for as long as I need it to stay in touch with you, or for business and legal records, and then I delete it.

Your choices

Email me to ask what I hold about you, to correct or delete it, to stop hearing from me, or for written information about how I handle it and the service providers above. I reply within 30 days.

If you are not satisfied with my answer, you can complain to the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Alberta (opens in new tab).

Google sign-in

Private tools of mine sign in to my own Google account to read and update my own files, spreadsheets, calendar and email. They are not offered to anyone else, and this site never asks you to sign in with Google.
