This policy explains what information Clayton Method collects, how we use it, and the choices you have. It covers our website, claytonmethod.com, and Clayton Method OS, our business operating system app at claytonmethod.ai.
The short version: we collect what we need to talk with you, do our work and run Clayton Method OS. We also measure which pages people view and how fast they load, without cookies. We never sell your personal information, and we don't use it for targeted advertising.
Clayton Method is the business name of Stargazers Unite LLC, based in Plano, Texas, USA. In this policy, “we,” “us” and “our” mean Stargazers Unite LLC, doing business as Clayton Method. We help businesses with websites, SEO and GEO, AI, custom apps, business systems and operations.
This policy covers:
Work we do for clients is also covered by the proposal or agreement we make with each client. This policy doesn't cover other companies' websites or apps, including accounts you connect to Clayton Method OS.
We don't use cookies for analytics, advertising or tracking on claytonmethod.com, and we don't use Google Analytics or advertising pixels. Our testimonial videos are hosted on our own site, not on YouTube or Vimeo.
Our booking calendar comes from Clayton Method OS and appears on our Book a Call page. When you book, we collect:
We store this in Clayton Method OS. We use it to send confirmation and reminder emails and a link to join the video meeting, and we may call you about your appointment. We text you only if you tick the text-message box or text us first. See Text messages.
If you email us, text us or message us on WhatsApp, we receive your message along with your email address or phone number. If you hire us, we also receive the information you share with us for your project.
Clayton Method OS is our business operating system for clients. If you have an account, we collect:
You choose which outside accounts to link. Depending on what you connect, we access:
We store the credentials and access tokens for connected accounts in our database, which is encrypted at rest, and only your workspace can reach them. Keys for messaging channels (Twilio, Meta, Slack and Bluesky) are kept encrypted where only our servers can read them.
We use your information to:
This section covers Clayton Method Text Messages, our text-message program. Messages come from our business number, (817) 328-8855. The full program terms are in the Text messages section of our Terms of Service.
We send replies to your inquiries, messages to schedule and confirm consultations, appointment reminders, and project updates. We don't send marketing messages.
Right after you opt in (for a paid booking, once the payment goes through), we text you a confirmation. If you texted us first, it reads: “Clayton Method: Thanks for texting us! You'll get texts about your inquiry, appointments and projects. Msg frequency varies. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply HELP for help, STOP to opt out.” If you ticked the box when booking, it opens with “You're signed up for texts.” instead.
Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply.
Wireless carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Consent is not a condition of booking or purchase.
When you opt in, we keep your mobile number, your consent to receive texts and the messages we exchange. When you tick the box on our booking form, we also record the date and time, your IP address, your browser details and the wording you agreed to, as the record of your consent. We use them to send the texts described above, to reply to you, and to honor your STOP and HELP requests.
We do not share, sell, or provide your mobile phone number or messaging consent data to third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes.
Our business number, (817) 328-8855, is also on WhatsApp through Meta's WhatsApp Business Platform. If you message us there, your messages reach us through Meta, and we reply the same way. We receive your messages and the phone number you message from. We don't sell your number or your messages, and we don't share them for marketing.
If you choose to connect them, Clayton Method OS links to your WhatsApp Business account, your Facebook Page messages and your Instagram messages, so you can manage those conversations in your workspace. We use this access only to provide those features, and we don't use it for advertising. Your access tokens are kept encrypted where only our servers can read them, never in your browser.
If you're a client, your business decides how your customers' messages are used. See Customers of businesses that use Clayton Method OS.
Your use of WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram is also covered by Meta's own policies, including the Meta Privacy Policy and the WhatsApp Privacy Policy.
To remove Clayton Method's access or ask us to delete your data, follow the steps in How to delete your data.
This section applies if you connect a Google account to Clayton Method OS. We access Google data only after you choose to connect and approve access on Google's consent screen.
We use Google data only to show and manage your calendar and inbox inside Clayton Method OS, at your request. That means displaying your events and email, making the changes you ask for, and running the AI features you choose to use on them, such as drafting a reply.
Your Google access tokens are stored in our database, which is encrypted at rest, and only your workspace can reach them. Google data we keep is stored in your Clayton Method OS workspace in our database, which runs on Supabase. It travels over HTTPS. Access controls enforced in the database (row-level security) keep each workspace's data separate, and staff access is limited.
No one at Clayton Method reads your Google data unless:
Clayton Method's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
You can remove Clayton Method OS's access at any time at https://myaccount.google.com/permissions. To delete Google data we already hold, follow the steps in How to delete your data.
Clayton Method OS includes AI features for drafting replies, summarizing meetings, AI agents and content suggestions. When an AI feature runs, we send the content it needs to Anthropic, our AI provider, to produce the result.
Anthropic's commercial terms do not permit it to train its models on that content. When an AI feature works with Google data, the rules in Google user data also apply.
We never sell your personal information, and we don't use it for targeted advertising. We share it only in the situations below. Google user data follows the stricter rules in Google user data.
These companies help us run our websites and Clayton Method OS. We share information with them only as needed for the service each one provides.
When you connect an outside account to Clayton Method OS, such as Google, Meta, Twilio, Slack, Zoom, Stripe or Bluesky, information passes between that service and your workspace at your direction. That service's own privacy policy covers what it does with it.
We share information in other ways only when you ask us to or agree to it.
We may share information when the law requires it, such as to answer a valid legal request, or when it's needed to protect the safety, rights or property of our clients, the public or Clayton Method.
If Clayton Method is merged, sold or reorganized, information may be transferred to the new owner as part of that deal. Google user data would move only with your explicit consent.
We do not share, sell, or provide your mobile phone number or messaging consent data to third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Information sharing to subcontractors in support services, such as the providers that deliver and store our text messages (Twilio and Supabase), is permitted. All the above categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.
Businesses use Clayton Method OS to work with their own customers. When a business adds or connects its customers' information, such as contacts, messages, bookings, meetings, payments and survey responses, that business decides what is collected and how it's used. We process that information on the business's behalf and follow its instructions.
This includes booking pages and surveys a business publishes through Clayton Method OS, and texts, WhatsApp and other messages it sends through the accounts it connects. Those messages come from the business, not from our text-message program.
We also measure visits to the pages a business publishes through Clayton Method OS. We do that for ourselves, not for the business. See Visits and page speed.
If you're a customer of one of these businesses, please contact that business first with questions or requests about your information.
claytonmethod.com and Clayton Method OS, including the booking calendar on our Book a Call page, use two tools from our host, Vercel. Vercel Web Analytics shows us which pages people view. Vercel Speed Insights shows us how fast those pages load. Each time you view a page, they record details such as:
Vercel works out your approximate location from your IP address, but it doesn't store your IP address with these records. These tools don't use cookies. Instead, Vercel tells visitors apart with a code made from your browser's request. It discards that code after 24 hours, but it keeps the records themselves longer. See How long we keep information.
We see the results only as totals, and we use them to improve our pages and keep them fast. We don't use them for advertising, and they don't follow you from site to site.
These tools also run on the pages businesses publish through Clayton Method OS, such as their booking pages, surveys and link pages. We measure those visits for ourselves, to keep Clayton Method OS working well. The business doesn't choose this, and it doesn't see what these tools record.
We trim the address of each page you view before these tools send it. We keep the page itself and any campaign tags (the utm_ tags that show which campaign or link brought you), and drop everything else. In Clayton Method OS, we also replace the private code in personal links, such as a link to manage your booking or sign a document, with a placeholder.
claytonmethod.com doesn't set advertising or analytics cookies. The embedded booking calendar doesn't set tracking cookies either. Our site loads fonts from Google Fonts. Our site sets no cookies for that, but Google receives your IP address when your browser fetches the fonts.
Clayton Method OS (claytonmethod.ai) uses strictly necessary cookies to keep you signed in. It doesn't use advertising cookies.
We measure visits and page speed on claytonmethod.com and in Clayton Method OS without cookies. See Visits and page speed.
For details, see our Cookie Policy.
We keep personal information only as long as we need it for the reasons in this policy, or as long as the law requires.
When you ask us to delete your data, we do it within 30 days, except for records the law requires us to keep.
We protect information with:
No system is perfectly secure. If a security incident affects your information, we'll notify you as the law requires.
You can ask us to:
You can also:
To make a request, email info@claytonmethod.com or call (817) 328-8855. We may ask you to confirm your identity before we act on it. Depending on where you live, you may have more rights under local privacy laws, and we'll honor them as those laws require.
You can ask us to delete your personal data at any time. Here's how.
If your information is in Clayton Method OS because you're a customer of one of our clients, please contact that business first. See Customers of businesses that use Clayton Method OS.
Our websites and services are meant for businesses and the adults who run them. They're not directed to children, and we don't knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you think a child has given us personal information, contact us and we'll delete it.
We may update this policy as our services change. When we do, we'll post the new version on this page and update the date at the top. If a change significantly affects how we handle your information, we'll let clients know by email.
This version took effect on September 30, 2026.
