Simply Sandra Yvonne — Ethical AI Policy
Why this exists
Transparency is non-negotiable for me — with clients and with potential clients. If AI touches my work or yours, you deserve to know about it: where it shows up, what I use it for, and how I handle your information when it does. That's what this page is for.
How I use AI
In my own business, AI helps me work more efficiently. That looks like: drafting marketing copy, brainstorming and ideation, research, repurposing content across formats, summarizing documents and notes, drafting emails when I need to, generating SEO content like meta descriptions, and building content outlines. I use Claude for most of this, Ubersuggest AI for keyword research and SEO data, and Descript AI for audio editing.
In client work, I use AI to help match a client's writing style when I'm writing copy on their behalf, to build project tracking spreadsheets, and to generate project to-do lists.
Everything AI produces gets edited before it goes anywhere. That's not a policy — it's just how I work.
What AI will never do here
AI also doesn't build client workflows. That work is hands-on because it has to be. A workflow built for someone whose capacity fluctuates can't come from a tool that defaults to one-size-fits-all — that's exactly the problem my work is designed to solve.
How I handle your information
Before anything goes into an AI tool, I remove or redact anything that isn't already publicly accessible. That means no addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, payment information, account numbers, login credentials, or revenue details. Questionnaire responses sometimes come into the process — because the answers are necessary to do the work — but personal details are redacted first. What I use is limited to what's relevant to the job.
When I'm vetting a tool, I read the privacy policy, check peer reviews, and look for endorsements from companies I already trust.
Disclosure
If you hire me, AI disclosure is part of your onboarding. You'll receive a dedicated disclosure page in your proposal — separate from the contract — that outlines exactly how AI is used in your project. You'll review it and sign it before we start.
This page exists for everyone else — potential clients, peers, anyone who wants to know before they decide.
If something feels off
If you have a concern about how AI was used in your project or think something here doesn't line up with my actual practice, email me at hello@simplysandrayvonne.ca.
When this gets updated
I review this policy every quarter. I'll update it sooner if something changes in how I work, or if something outside my control — a platform policy change, a significant industry shift — makes an update necessary.

What AI will never do here
- I will never use AI to generate images for clients.
- I will never use AI to write testimonials or reviews.
- I will never use AI to make claims about results or outcomes I can't personally back up.
- I will never feed your personal contact details, payment information, account numbers, login credentials, or revenue data into an AI tool.
- I will never use AI to impersonate a specific real person.
- I will never use AI to manufacture urgency or exploit pain points to sell something.
- I will never use an AI tool without a clear, trustworthy privacy policy.
- I will never train an AI model on your content or client work without you explicitly asking me to.
