TechFabric Privacy Policy: Data Collection, Use, Security

Revised Date: October 21, 2026

This policy is subject to change at any time. Please review it periodically for any updates.

This privacy policy discloses the privacy practices for TechFabric and TechFabric owned websites. It will notify you of the following:

• What personally identifiable information is collected from you through the web site, how it is used and with whom it may be shared.
• What choices are available to you regarding the use of your data.
• The security procedures in place to protect the misuse of your information.
• How you can correct any inaccuracies in the information.

Information Collection, Use, and Sharing

We do not sell or rent your information to anyone, and we do not share it with anyone for their own marketing.

We do use a small number of service providers to run this site and answer you. They process data on our instructions and for no other purpose. They are listed under "Who processes data for us" below, and that list is the complete one.

Information you submit through the contact form is used to respond to you about your enquiry. It reaches our own inbox and our own customer record system, and we keep a record of the wording you agreed to at the time you sent it.

We also use a model to draft our reply. Your first name, your company, the topic you picked, the page you wrote from and your message go to Cloudflare Workers AI, along with a short excerpt of your company's public website, which we find from the domain of your email address (never a free-mail one). The email address and surname fields are not sent, though the website address we found from your email is, and anything you put in the message itself, such as a signature, goes with it. The model writes a first reply and up to two short follow-ups, three and eight days later, unless we have marked your enquiry as answered or not a fit, and they come to us, not to you. A person reads each draft, edits it as needed and decides whether to send it from our own inbox. Your enquiry, that excerpt and the drafts are held in our Cloudflare account, kept out of our logs, and deleted from there automatically 60 days after you wrote. The drafts we email ourselves stay with your enquiry in our inbox.

A request for a seat at a dinner we host goes on that dinner's guest list, which is stored in Cloudflare and only our team can open. It holds what you gave us on the form, which is your name, email address, company, role, dietary needs and note, whether you asked for the dinner, a meeting or both, when you asked, and where your request stands (requested, confirmed, waitlisted and so on). We use it to decide seats, to know who is coming, and to email you. You get one email straight away to say we have your request and, if your seat is confirmed, the invitation and reminders. A record of which of those emails we sent you and when is deleted after a year. The guest list itself has no expiry. It is kept until we delete it, and when you ask, we delete your entry and the records of the emails we sent you.

Unless you opt out, we may send you occasional email about our work, announcements, or changes to our policies. Every such email carries an unsubscribe link, and you can also ask us to stop by writing to the address at the end of this policy.

Analytics and how we measure the site

We measure how visitors use this site so we can tell which pages are worth keeping. Three things are worth stating plainly.

PostHog handles our page analytics and runs through our own domain rather than a third-party tracking host. It sets a first-party cookie so a returning reader is not counted as a new person each time. The cookie is scoped to techfabric.com and its subdomains, which includes our Databricks Field Guide at databricks.techfabric.com, so a person who reads there and enquires here is recognised as one visit rather than two. It is not used for advertising and we honour the Do Not Track setting in your browser.

Google Analytics reports the same visits to Google, because that is where a good deal of our reporting has always been read. It loads a script from Google's own domain and sets its own first-party cookies to recognise a returning reader. We have turned off Google signals and advertising personalisation for it, so it measures this site and feeds nothing into advertising, and it is not loaded at all if your browser sends Do Not Track. Blocking third-party scripts stops it.

Microsoft Clarity shows us how pages are used: where people scroll, click and stop, as heatmaps and recordings of a visit. Anything typed into a form is masked before it leaves your browser, so it never records the contents of an enquiry. It sets its own first-party cookies to group the pages of one visit, it is connected to our Bing Webmaster Tools account, and it is not loaded at all if your browser sends Do Not Track. Blocking third-party scripts stops it.

We estimate which organisation a visit came from, rather than which person. That happens in two ways: from the name of the network your request arrives on, which is worked out entirely on our own servers and puts nothing in your browser, and through Factors, whose script runs in your browser and stores an identifier of its own. Neither tells us your name, and neither is used for advertising. Blocking third-party scripts stops the second of them.

When you first arrive, your browser also keeps a small note of the page you landed on, the site that sent you and the date, in its own storage for this site. It stays on your device for 90 days and is sent to us only if you submit the contact form, with your enquiry, so we can see which page was useful to you. It is not written at all if your browser sends Do Not Track.

The Cookie Policy sets out what each of these stores.

Who processes data for us

We do not transfer your information to anyone else, and none of these providers may use it for their own purposes.

How long we keep it

Enquiries are kept in our inbox and customer record system for as long as we have a business relationship or a live conversation, and are removed on request. The copy held in Cloudflare for drafting our reply is deleted 60 days after you wrote. Dinner guest lists are kept until we delete them, and your entry is deleted on request. Analytics data is retained by PostHog, Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity under our account settings in each, and holds no name or email address for visitors who never contact us.

MCP servers

We run two Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers that AI agents connect to. One serves the Databricks Field Guide, at databricks.techfabric.com/mcp, and the other serves techfabric.com, at www.techfabric.com/mcp.

The Databricks Field Guide's server needs no account and no sign-in. We log which tool each call used, not what it asked or who asked it. To stop abuse we count calls per IP address for each hour, and each count is deleted about an hour later. Cloudflare hosts it and keeps its standard request logs.

techfabric.com's server can be read without signing in, on the same terms. We keep an hourly count per IP address, deleted about an hour later, and no IP address goes in our logs. Writing to the blog is for TechFabric employees only, and needs a sign-in.

• Your Microsoft sign-in. You sign in with your TechFabric Microsoft account through Microsoft Entra ID. We read your email address, your name and your Microsoft directory identifiers. If you're already on our author list, your posts carry the name it gives you; if not, they carry your name as Microsoft has it, and when your first post is published, that name and your email address are added to the author list in the same GitHub repository as your drafts. We do not keep Microsoft's tokens.
• The tokens we issue your agent. An access token lasts one hour and a refresh token 30 days. The sign-in record behind them (your email address, your name and the name of the agent you connected) is deleted 30 days after you sign in, and refreshing does not extend it. A registered agent's record is deleted within 90 days of its last use.
• Your drafts. What your agent submits (the text, images, sources, any client confirmation you give) is stored with your name and email address, along with the results of the checks run on it. The model-read checks send the draft's text to Cloudflare Workers AI. Drafts are committed to our private GitHub repository, with your name on the post and your email address in the commit message, and the preview link is emailed to you through Plunk. Drafts do not expire. They are kept as our editorial record until you ask us to delete them, and a published post stays published until it is taken down.
• Logs. Each call is logged with your email address, the tool used and the name of your agent. Cloudflare keeps these logs for up to 7 days.

Data from both servers is handled only by Microsoft (sign-in), Cloudflare (hosting, storage, logs and the model-read checks), GitHub (the draft pipeline and the site's source) and Plunk (the preview email), and is never sold. To ask what we hold about you or to have it deleted, write to hello@techfabric.com.

Security

We take your privacy seriously and have precautions in place to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline.

Wherever we collect personal information, that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a closed lock icon in the address bar of your web browser, or looking for "https" at the beginning of the address of our web site address.

While we take steps to protect personal information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline.
