About this site
1sthand.ai is a public information site operated by Life Design Technologies. It presents ideas about human independence and artificial intelligence. It does not provide an account, create a personal model, or deliver an AI service.
Information you choose to send
If you contact us by email, we receive the information you include, such as your name, email address, organization, and message. We use it to respond and manage the relationship you requested.
Basic site operations
Our hosting and security providers may process standard technical information such as IP address, browser type, requested pages, timestamps, and security signals. We use this information to operate, protect, and understand the public site.
Referral and product handoff
If you visit 1sthand.ai with a referral code in the URL, this site reads and validates that code in your browser, removes it from the return URL, and sends your browser through lifedesignos.ai/referral/capture before returning you here. Life Design OS may set first-party attribution cookies on its own domain so a later Core Plus beta application can retain the referral source. Links from this site to the Core Plus beta may also include source=firsthand. Life Design OS handles that product-domain activity under its own applicable privacy notice and terms.
No sale of personal information
We do not sell personal information collected through this site. We may share limited information with service providers that help us host, secure, or communicate, subject to their agreements and applicable law.
Product privacy is separate
Life Design OS, LD, and other Life Design Technologies products are separate services with their own applicable privacy notices and terms. This notice covers only the public 1sthand.ai ideas site.
Independent project
1sthand.ai is inspired by ideas associated with Ayn Rand’s The Fountainhead. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Ayn Rand Institute, the Ayn Rand estate, or their affiliates.
