What we collect, what we don’t.

Sheenhaus is a small studio. We collect as little as possible and we do not sell or share what we collect.

The site itself

We use Vercel Analytics for aggregate page-view counts. It is cookie-less, IP-anonymised, and we cannot identify individual visitors from it. No third-party advertising trackers, no retargeting pixels, no session recording.

The audit tool (/audit)

When you submit a URL we fetch the public homepage of that URL (the same way any visitor or search engine does), run a Lighthouse audit, and apply our twelve-signs heuristic to the response. We retain the audit result for our internal records for up to twelve months and may use anonymised aggregate statistics in future research, with no URL or identifier attached.

If you choose to receive the report by email, your email address is used only to send that one report. We do not add you to a newsletter, marketing list, or any third-party service. We do not sell or share email addresses.

The contact form (/contact)

Fields you fill in (name, email, company, project type, timeline, message) are emailed to hello@sheenhaus.com via Resend (our transactional-email provider). We respond from the same inbox. We do not import the data into any CRM or marketing platform.

Your rights

You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, ask for it to be corrected, or ask for it to be deleted at any time. We will action requests within thirty days. Write to hello@sheenhaus.com. If you are in the UK or EU, you also retain your rights under the UK GDPR and EU GDPR; if you are in India, the provisions of the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP) apply.

IITerms of use

Using this site.

By accessing sheenhaus.com you agree to use the site for the editorial and diagnostic purposes for which it is provided. You may not attempt to disrupt the service, scrape data at volume, or use the audit tool to systematically target third-party sites in a way that would harm the operator of those sites.

The content of this site — including the twelve-signs essays, the State of Premium reports, the audit methodology and the typography — is published as editorial work by Sheenhaus. You may quote, screenshot or link to it for your own commentary or research with appropriate attribution. You may not republish the work in its entirety or pass it off as your own.

IIIAudit acceptable use

What the audit tool is for.

The audit tool is a public diagnostic. By submitting a URL you confirm one of the following:

  • You have authority over the URL (it is your site or you have permission to audit it on the owner’s behalf), or
  • The URL is publicly accessible and your use of the audit is for editorial, journalistic, comparative or diagnostic research.

The audit produces a composite “Sheenhaus Score” based on the twelve signs and a Lighthouse pass. This score is one studio’s opinion, not an industry standard. It reflects a single point-in-time measurement and may differ from later measurements. The score should not be used to make unilateral commercial claims about a third party.

You may not use the audit tool to harass a third party, generate misleading reports about a competitor, or systematically target a category of businesses without an editorial purpose. We reserve the right to refuse service to accounts or IP addresses that appear to be using the tool in bad faith.

IVReports + trademarks

How we treat third-party names in published research.

Sheenhaus publishes editorial audits of specific premium categories (the State of Premium series). In published volumes, individual companies are referred to by their market-capitalisation rank only (House 01 = largest) and are not named. The editorial point of each volume is the category, not any individual company.

All company names, brand marks, and trademarks remain the property of their respective owners. Any mention of a third-party trademark in our editorial commentary is made under the principles of nominative fair use— that is, used solely to identify the entity in factual reference, not to suggest affiliation, endorsement, or sponsorship.

Any company that is the subject of a measurement and wishes to dispute, correct, or annotate a published statement may write to hello@sheenhaus.com. We will publish a correction or right-of-reply within fourteen days.

VLiability + jurisdiction

The unavoidable boilerplate, brief.

The site, the audit tool, the reports and any other content published at sheenhaus.com are provided as is, without warranty of any kind. Sheenhaus is not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental or consequential damages arising from the use of, or inability to use, the content of this site.

Reports and audit results are editorial commentary and do not constitute investment, legal, tax, or financial advice. They are intended to inform conversation, not to drive unilateral commercial decisions.

These terms and any disputes arising from your use of sheenhaus.com are governed by the laws of India, with jurisdiction in the courts of New Delhi. If you are accessing this site from outside India, applicable consumer-protection laws in your jurisdiction may continue to apply where mandatory.

If you read this far, thank you. Plain-language legal pages are not a marketing exercise — they are part of doing serious work in public.
