Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to Aletheian Ventures ("we", "our", "us"). We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website www.aletheianventures.com (the "Site"). Please read this policy carefully. If you do not agree with any part of this Privacy Policy, please do not access the Site.

2. Information We Collect

Information You Send Us

The Site has no forms, accounts, or sign-ups. The only way to send us information is to email us directly, in which case we receive whatever you choose to include — typically your name, your email address, and the contents of your message.

Usage Data

We use Vercel Web Analytics to see how many people visit the Site and which pages they read. It records page views, the site or link that referred you, approximate country, and general device and browser type. It does not build a profile of you, follow you across other websites, or collect anything for advertising.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

This Site does not use cookies. We store nothing on your device and read nothing from it, which is why you are never asked here to accept or decline cookies. Our analytics are cookieless: each visit is counted using a one-way hash derived from your request, generated with a value that changes every day, so visitors cannot be identified or followed from one day to the next. Your IP address is used to create that hash and is not stored.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect in the following ways:

• To operate and maintain our Site.
• To improve your experience on our Site.
• To respond to your comments, questions, and requests.
• To send you updates and other information related to the Site, provided you have opted in.
• To monitor and analyze usage and trends to improve our services.
• To comply with legal obligations.

4. Disclosure of Your Information

Third-Party Service Providers

We rely on a small number of providers to run the Site and our email: Vercel (website hosting and cookieless analytics) and Google Workspace (email). They process data on our behalf under their own privacy terms. We do not sell your information, and we do not share it for advertising.

Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities.

Business Transfers

If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you via email and/or a prominent notice on our Site of any change in ownership or uses of your personal information.

5. Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures to protect your personal information. However, please note that no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Third-Party Links

Our Site may contain links to third-party websites. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those websites, and we are not responsible for their privacy practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

7. Children's Privacy

Our Site is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete that information as soon as possible.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your information.
