Privacy Policy
Simple4u ("we," "our," or "us"), a product of Very Simple Solutions, operates the AI platform available at simple4uhq.com. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your information when you use our AI SaaS platform, which provides AI employees including marketing analysts, project managers, and executive assistants.
We are committed to transparency and to protecting your data. Please read this policy carefully. By using our services, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
1. Information We Collect

When you sign up for Simple4u, we collect information necessary to set up and manage your account:
- Full name and business name
- Email address
- Telegram username or contact details (used for platform communication)
- Billing and payment information (processed securely through Stripe)
Data from Connected Services
With your explicit authorization via OAuth2, our AI employees may access data from third-party services you choose to connect. These may include:
- Google Analytics — website traffic and performance metrics
- Google Search Console — search performance and indexing data
- Google Ads — advertising campaign data
- Gmail — email content for AI assistant tasks you authorize

You control which services are connected and can revoke access at any time through the respective service's account settings or by contacting us.
Usage Data
We collect basic usage data to operate and improve our platform, including:
- AI employee interaction logs (prompts and responses)
- Feature usage patterns
- Error logs and system performance data
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide, operate, and maintain our AI employee services
- Execute tasks you assign to your AI employees (marketing analysis, project management, executive assistance)
- Process payments and manage your subscription
- Communicate with you about your account and platform updates via Telegram or email
- Diagnose technical issues and improve platform reliability
- Ensure security and prevent unauthorized access to your data
- Comply with legal obligations
We do not use your data to train AI models. Data processed through the Anthropic Claude API is subject to Anthropic's API data usage policies, which do not use API inputs or outputs for model training.
3. Data Storage and Security
Client data isolation is a core architectural principle at Simple4u. Each client's data is hosted on a dedicated virtual private server (VPS). Your data is never stored on shared infrastructure and is never commingled with any other client's data.
Dedicated, Isolated Infrastructure
Unlike many SaaS platforms that use shared databases, Simple4u provisions a dedicated server environment for each client. This means:
- Your data resides on a VPS dedicated solely to your account
- No other client can access or view your information under any circumstances
- Your data environment is fully isolated at the infrastructure level
Security Measures
We implement industry-standard security practices, including:
- Encryption in transit (TLS/SSL) for all data transfers
- Encryption at rest for stored data
- OAuth2 for secure authentication with third-party services — we never store your Google, Jira, or Slack passwords
- Regular security updates and patching of server infrastructure
- Access controls limiting personnel access to client environments
We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards consistent with the NY SHIELD Act.
Data Retention
We retain your data for as long as your account is active and as needed to provide our services. Upon account termination, we will delete your data from our servers within 30 days unless retention is required by law. You may request earlier deletion by contacting us.
4. Third-Party Services
Our platform integrates with the following third-party services to deliver AI employee functionality. Each service has its own privacy policy governing its handling of your data:
Anthropic (Claude API)
We use the Anthropic Claude API to power the AI reasoning capabilities of our AI employees. Data sent to the API for processing is handled according to Anthropic's Privacy Policy. Under Anthropic's API terms, inputs and outputs are not used to train their models.
Google Services
We connect to Google APIs (Analytics, Search Console, Ads, Gmail, Calendar, Drive) via OAuth2. We request only the permissions necessary for the tasks you assign. You can review and revoke permissions at any time through your Google Account settings. Our use of Google user data complies with the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Stripe
Payment processing is handled by Stripe. We do not store your full credit card number or payment credentials on our servers. Stripe's handling of your payment data is governed by the Stripe Privacy Policy.
Telegram
We use Telegram as a primary communication channel with clients. Messages exchanged via Telegram are subject to Telegram's Privacy Policy.
5. Data Sharing
We do not share, sell, rent, or trade your data with other clients or any third parties for marketing purposes.
Your data is strictly siloed. We may disclose information only in the following limited circumstances:
- Service delivery — Data is sent to third-party APIs listed in Section 4 solely to perform the tasks you request of your AI employees.
- Legal compliance — We may disclose information if required by law, subpoena, court order, or governmental regulation.
- Safety and security — We may share information if we believe it is necessary to prevent fraud, protect the safety of any person, or address security vulnerabilities.
- Business transfers — In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your data may be transferred. We will notify you before your data becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
Under no circumstances is data from one client's environment accessible to or shared with another client. Each client operates in a fully isolated infrastructure.

7. Cookie Policy
Our website uses two categories of cookies:
- Essential cookies — required for core site and platform functionality (session management, authentication, security). These cannot be disabled.
- Analytics and advertising cookies — we use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) and Google Ads conversion tracking to understand site traffic patterns, measure marketing campaign effectiveness, and improve user experience.
Specifically, we use Google Analytics 4 to measure visitor counts and referral sources, understand which content engages visitors, and improve site performance. We use Google Ads conversion tracking to measure the effectiveness of our paid search campaigns and optimize our advertising spend. Consistent with the California Consumer Privacy Act, we do not sell your personal information to third parties and we do not use cookies for cross-site behavioral advertising profiles beyond measuring ad effectiveness.
How to opt out: You can opt out of analytics tracking at any time by installing the official Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, disabling third-party cookies in your browser, or using a browser tracking-prevention feature (Safari ITP, Firefox ETP, Brave Shields, uBlock Origin). California residents should also see California Privacy Choices above for additional rights.
Our cookie notice on the homepage is informational and does not require your affirmative consent before cookies are set, consistent with applicable U.S. privacy laws including CCPA, CPRA, CalOPPA, VCDPA (Virginia), CPA (Colorado), CTDPA (Connecticut), and UCPA (Utah), which use an opt-out rather than opt-in framework. If you access our site from the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, please see Section 6 for your GDPR rights.
