What we collect
When you interact with Gist, we collect:
- Information you give us directly — name, email, phone number, profession or employer (if you share it), and what you'd like to learn. You provide this through the signup form on gist.school, by emailing us, by calling, or in class.
- Information we collect automatically — basic web analytics (page views, referrer, device type) via Cloudflare Web Analytics. We do not use tracking cookies or third-party advertising networks.
- Content of messages you send us — voicemails, emails, and SMS messages you send to Gist.
We do not buy or rent personal data from data brokers.
How we use it
- To send the one-time verification code you request when signing up
- To confirm your class registration and send class reminders
- To answer your questions
- To occasionally tell you about new classes (you can opt out anytime — see below)
- To improve our classes and materials
We do not sell your information. We do not share it with advertisers.
SMS and phone communications
If you provide your phone number, you consent to receive SMS messages from Gist for:
- One-time verification codes when you sign up

Message and data rates may apply. Message frequency varies. Reply STOP to any message to unsubscribe, or HELP for help.
We use Twilio (Twilio Inc.) to send and receive SMS and to handle voicemail. Twilio's privacy practices are at twilio.com/legal/privacy.
Service providers we use
To run Gist, we rely on a small number of third-party services. Each one processes some of your data on our behalf:
| Service | What it does |
|---|---|
| Cloudflare | Hosts gist.school, manages DNS, basic web analytics |
| Google Workspace | Receives email sent to hello@gist.school |
| Twilio | SMS verification, class reminders, voicemail with transcription |
| Stripe (when payments launch) | Processes credit-card payments |
Each of these has its own privacy policy. We share only what's necessary for them to do their job.
How long we keep your data
We keep your contact information for as long as you remain an active student or until you ask us to delete it. We keep payment and tax records for up to 7 years, as required by U.S. tax law.

- Ask us to correct or update it
- Ask us to delete it (with some exceptions for tax records we're required to keep)
