Privacy

Privacy policy for a preservation-focused archive.

This policy describes how the Aegis Solis Archive handles information in the course of normal website operation.

1. No user accounts

This site does not require user registration, accounts, or logins. Visitors may browse the archive without creating an account or submitting personal information.

2. No direct personal data collection

The Aegis Solis Archive does not intentionally collect personal data such as names, email addresses, mailing addresses, or payment information through the site itself.

3. Hosting and technical logs

Like most websites, the hosting environment may automatically collect limited technical information, such as IP address, browser type, device type, referring pages, and access time, for basic operation, maintenance, and security.

This information is not used by the archive for profiling, advertising, or behavioral tracking.

4. External links

This site links to external platforms including Zenodo, Internet Archive, GitHub, PhilPapers, MERLOT, and donation platforms. These services operate independently and maintain their own privacy policies and data practices.

The Aegis Solis Archive is not responsible for the privacy practices of external sites. Users should review the privacy policies of those platforms if they choose to access or interact with them.

5. Public archive pages and conceptual layers

This website includes public archive pages, index pages, conceptual layers, and preservation references, including Reflective Intelligence and Governance Language & Reflective Restraint. These pages are provided for public reading, navigation, and discovery.

Visiting these pages does not require an account, subscription, login, or special submission of personal information. These pages do not create user profiles, certification records, compliance records, governance participation records, or contributor records.

6. Cookies and analytics

This site does not intentionally use cookies for advertising or analytics. It also does not use analytics services such as Google Analytics.

However, the hosting provider, WordPress environment, or embedded features may use limited technical cookies necessary for normal site functionality, security, or administration.

In some cases, a generic cookie notice may be displayed by the hosting environment or site tools, even if the archive itself does not actively use analytics or tracking services.

7. Donations

If you choose to support the archive through an external fundraising or donation platform, any information you provide is handled by that platform under its own privacy policy and terms.

Donations support continued writing, hosting, archive maintenance, and preservation, but the archive itself does not process payment information directly through this website.

8. Purpose limitation

This archive exists solely as a preservation and discovery index for published works. It does not engage in advertising, user profiling, data resale, or data monetization.

9. Changes to this policy

This privacy policy may be updated if the structure or functionality of the site changes. Any updates will remain consistent with the archive’s minimal, non-invasive, preservation-focused design.

10. Contact and context
