Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 9, 2026
This explains what HB Labs (run by JH Capital Holding LLC) collects and why. We keep it small. There are no accounts, no ads and no ad tracking, and we don't sell your information.
What stays in your browser
Your course progress is saved in your own browser (local storage) and is not sent to us. That covers the lessons you've finished, your placement result (level, your "why are you here" answer and the test date), and whether the background effect is on. You can clear it any time in your browser settings. HB Labs does not set cookies of its own.
Anonymous event counts
To learn what's useful, the site counts a few actions: viewing the home page, starting or finishing Level 0, starting or finishing the placement test, asking for a results email, and the "why are you here" answer (trade, invest, news or curious). Each count stores only the action, that answer where it applies, and the time. It does not store your IP address, browser details, cookie, email address or any other identifier, so a count can't be tied back to you.
Your placement results email
If you ask for your results by email, we use your address to send that one email through our email provider. We do not save the address unless you also tick the weekly email box.
The weekly email list
If you tick the weekly box, we save a pending sign-up with your email address, where you signed up (the placement test), your placement level, your "why are you here" answer if you gave one, and the time. We store only a hashed (scrambled) version of the confirm-link token, never the token itself. You are not on the list until you press Confirm on the page the emailed link opens, and that records the confirmation time. A confirm link stops working after 7 days, and unconfirmed sign-ups are removed the next time the site cleans up its sign-up list. When someone confirms, we get an alert email with their address, level and answer.
We keep confirmed addresses until you ask us to remove them. To unsubscribe or have your information deleted, email hello@hblabs.app and we'll remove it.
Server logs and abuse limits
Our web server keeps access logs that include your IP address, the page requested, your browser type and the time. The logs rotate automatically and older files are deleted, and we use them to keep the site running and secure. To limit abuse, the forms count requests per IP address in the server's memory. That count isn't saved to the database. The site also logs errors, such as a failed email send, to the server's system log.
Who helps us run the site
- Cloudflare Turnstile is the anti-spam check on forms. On the page with the results email form, your browser loads a script from Cloudflare, and our server sends Cloudflare the check result along with your IP address to verify it. Cloudflare may use its own cookies or storage for this. See Cloudflare's privacy policy.
- Resend sends our emails, so it receives the address, subject and text of each email we send.
- DigitalOcean hosts the site and its database.
- Cloudflare provides our DNS and forwards mail sent to hello@hblabs.app, so messages you send us pass through it.
We share information with these services only to run the site. We may also disclose information if the law requires it.
Your choices
You can use the whole free course without giving us any personal information. Email hello@hblabs.app to ask what we hold about you, or to have it removed.
Adults only
HB Labs is for adults 18 and over in the US. We don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.
