Privacy Policy

Effective and last updated: August 29, 2026

The Human Toolbox is Craig Soles, a sole proprietor based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, operating thehumantoolbox.com ("The Human Toolbox," "we," "us," or "our"). This policy explains what information we collect through this site and our related tools, why we collect it, how it's stored, and how you can control or delete it.

Plain-language summary: if you reach out through a contact form, book a call, or buy something, we collect the details needed to do that (name, email, and payment handled directly by Stripe) and nothing more. We never sell your data or share it with third parties for their own marketing. A separate section below covers a specific, narrower thing some visitors ask about: this site's use of the Gmail API to send automated business email from our own inbox, which only ever sends mail on our behalf and never reads, searches, or exports anything from any customer's inbox.

1. Who this applies to

This policy covers thehumantoolbox.com and the tools it links to or runs on our behalf: the contact/opt-in form, the free-consult booking flow, the secure document-sharing links we sometimes send clients, and the checkout flow for anything purchased through this domain (including Founding Coach and shop purchases). Our separate product, DragnPost (dragnpost.co), is built and operated by the same business but has its own, more detailed privacy policy at dragnpost.co/privacy.html, since it collects meaningfully different data (uploaded video, connected social accounts). If anything below and DragnPost's own policy ever appear to conflict for something that happened on dragnpost.co, DragnPost's own policy governs.

2. Information we collect

Contact and consult-booking information

When you fill out the "Get in touch" form on this site, we collect your first name and email address, store them, and send you one automated confirmation email with a link to book a free 15-minute call. Booking itself happens through Calendly (calendly.com), a separate service with its own privacy policy; we receive the appointment details Calendly shares with us (your name, email, and the time you booked) but do not control how Calendly itself handles your data before that point.

Payment and purchase information

If you buy something through this site (a Founding Coach reservation, a shop item, or a DragnPost subscription checkout hosted on this domain), Stripe (our payment processor) collects and stores your billing details directly. We retain your Stripe customer ID and order/subscription status, but we never see or store your full card number ourselves.

Secure document links

When we send you a one-time secure link to view a document (for example a report or a form), opening that link records the time, your IP address, and your browser's user-agent string, purely to log that the document was actually viewed and to enforce the link's view limit and expiry. We do not use this information for anything beyond that access log.

Waiver and consent forms

The consent/waiver PDF linked from our booking pages is a standalone downloadable file. Downloading it does not send us any information; any personal information you write on that form when you sign it in person is handled directly with Craig as part of your in-person session, not collected through this website.

3. How we use your information

We do not use anything you send us to train AI models, and we do not use it for advertising or marketing to anyone else.

4. How the Gmail API is used to send business email

We use Google's Gmail API, through a real, Human Toolbox-owned OAuth connection to thehumantoolbox2026@gmail.com, as one of the ways this business sends its own automated email: booking confirmations, report deliveries, payment-reconciliation notices, and similar transactional messages tied to the activity described above.

What we requestWhat that allowsWhat it does not allow
gmail.send (Google's "send email on your behalf" scope)Compose and send an email as thehumantoolbox2026@gmail.com — the same as if we typed and hit send ourselves.It cannot read, search, forward, label, or delete anything already in the mailbox. It has no access to any other Google service (Drive, Calendar, Contacts) tied to that account.

This connection sends mail from our own business inbox to a recipient (a customer, a coach applicant, or Craig himself); it is not a tool that touches, reads, or exports anyone else's Gmail account. The OAuth credentials for this connection are stored server-side as environment variables, never exposed in this site's code, and never shared with any third party except Google itself (to actually deliver the message).

We do not use this Gmail connection to collect Google user data for any purpose beyond sending the specific transactional email described above, we do not use any data obtained through it to serve advertising, and we do not transfer, sell, or use it to train AI or machine-learning models of any kind.

5. Who we share data with

We do not sell your data, and we do not share it with third parties for their own marketing, advertising, or resale purposes. We work with a small number of infrastructure providers who process data strictly on our behalf, to run the business:

We may disclose information if required to by law, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of The Human Toolbox, our clients, or others.

6. Your rights and choices

To exercise any of these rights, email thehumantoolbox@outlook.com. We'll respond and act on genuine requests promptly.

7. Security

We use industry-standard measures to protect your data in transit and at rest, including access controls on our database and storage systems, server-side-only storage of API credentials (including the Gmail OAuth credentials described in Section 4), and one-time, expiring, view-limited links for any document containing personal information. No system is perfectly secure, and we can't guarantee absolute security, but we take real, concrete steps to protect what you share with us rather than treating this as a formality.

8. Children

The Human Toolbox is a business site intended for adults seeking bodywork, aesthetic, or coaching services. It is not directed at, and we do not knowingly collect information from, children under 13.

9. Changes to this policy

If we make a material change to how we handle your data, we'll update the effective date above and, where the change is significant, note it clearly on this page.

10. Contact

Questions about this policy, or a request under Section 6, can be sent to thehumantoolbox@outlook.com.

Honest note on scope: this policy is written to accurately describe what thehumantoolbox.com actually collects, stores, and does with data today, checked directly against the live site's own code rather than written as generic boilerplate. It is not a substitute for review by a licensed lawyer, particularly before this scales to a larger volume of clients across multiple jurisdictions. If anything here should be tightened before that point, that's a real next step, not a formality.
