Privacy Policy · Minimal-Data Public Archive
Privacy for a preservation-focused website.
The Aegis Solis Archive is designed as a minimal public preservation and discovery site. Visitors can browse the archive without creating an account or intentionally submitting personal information to the archive itself.
Normal hosting, WordPress, security, or technical infrastructure may still generate limited technical logs or necessary cookies. External repositories and support platforms operate under their own privacy policies and data practices.

AdvertisingNone by archive
ProfilingNone by archive
Direct collectionNo intentional collection
Scope note: this policy describes the archive’s own website practices.
It does not override the independent privacy policies of WordPress hosting infrastructure, repositories,
donation platforms, or other external services linked from the site.

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 basic technical information such as IP addresses, browser type, device type, referring pages, and access times for operational, maintenance, or security purposes.
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.
5. Cookies
This site does not intentionally use cookies for advertising or analytics. However, the hosting provider, WordPress environment, or embedded features may use limited technical cookies necessary for normal site functionality, security, or administration.
6. 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.
7. Purpose limitation
This archive exists as a preservation index and public discovery layer for published works. It does not engage in advertising, user profiling, data resale, or data monetization.
8. 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.
9. Contact and context
For authorship and archive context, please refer to the About page. For support-platform context, see Donations & Stewardship. For archive structure and preservation records, see Preservation & Mirrors.
This page is a website policy page, not a locked archival artifact. It may be updated if site functionality, hosting, analytics, forms, embedded services, or other data practices materially change.
10. Archive context and privacy separation
Master Hash Manifest v17.0 FINAL is the archive’s current public integrity/reference and discovery layer, but it does not change this privacy policy into a locked archival record. This Privacy page remains part of the mutable website layer and may be updated when site functionality changes.
Archive hashes verify file identity and mirror consistency only. They do not create privacy consent, data-processing authorization, user identity verification, or any obligation on visitors.
