Privacy & contact.

Firstsite Alerts is operated by Studio Watts LLC. This service researches commercial projects and responds to requests about that research.

Information you submit

We store your name, email, company, service territory, service category, question, responses and any report or order associated with the request. We use this information to assess fit, reply, prepare agreed work and handle delivery or order issues. Submitting a request does not sign you up for a marketing list.

Do not include passwords, card details, identity documents or sensitive personal information in a request. Stripe handles payment details on its own checkout pages when a payment offer is available.

Your private request link

The private link gives access to your conversation and any purchased report. Keep it secure and do not share it publicly. Access expires after 180 days. Keep a downloaded copy of any report you purchase. We do not currently offer email notifications or automatic link recovery.

How information is handled

The request desk is hosted on Vercel. Request data is stored in a dedicated Firstsite database on Turso in US East (Virginia). The research team and authorized AI assistants may process your request to prepare a response or report. Hosting providers may process access logs. We use short-lived counters to limit abuse; these contain hashed rate-limit identifiers rather than a contact list.

FAQ search stays in your browser. We do not sell the contact information you submit through the request form.

Corrections, deletion and support

Ask on your private request page to correct your information, request deletion or discuss a report issue. If you lose the link, submit a new request through the request form with the original company and email. We may need to verify ownership before releasing or changing existing information. Information may be retained when needed for an order, dispute, accounting or legal obligations.

This site does not provide instant live chat or telephone support. Replies appear on your private request page.
