Privacy Policy

Last Updated:

1. Introduction

Welcome to The Industrial Architects. We are committed to protecting the privacy of our visitors and users. This Privacy Policy outlines our practices concerning the collection, use, and disclosure of your information through the use of our website.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information to provide a better experience for our users. The types of information we collect include:

• Log Data: Like many site operators, we collect information that your browser sends whenever you visit our site ("Log Data"). This Log Data may include information such as your computer's Internet Protocol ("IP") address, browser type, browser version, the pages of our site that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages, and other statistics. This data is anonymized and used for traffic analysis.
• Cookie Consent Data: We use `localStorage` to store your cookie consent preference. This is a simple 'accepted' or 'declined' flag and contains no personal information. It is stored solely on your browser.
• Contact Information: If you contact us via our contact form, we collect the information you provide, such as your name, email address, and the content of your message. We use this information solely to respond to your inquiry.

3. How We Use Cookies

Cookies are small files placed on your device. Our website prompts you for cookie consent upon your first visit. We use cookies for:

• Analytics: If you accept, we use third-party services like Google Analytics to understand how visitors engage with our site. This helps us improve our content and user experience. The data collected is aggregated and anonymized.
• Functionality: Storing your consent choice, so we do not have to ask you on every visit.

If you decline cookies, no analytics cookies will be placed on your device. Only the necessary `localStorage` item to remember your choice will be used.

4. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• To operate and maintain our website.
• To improve our website and content offerings based on traffic analysis.
• To respond to your comments or inquiries submitted through the contact form.
• To send you information or updates if you have requested them (we do not have a newsletter at this time).

5. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal identification information to others. We may share generic aggregated demographic information not linked to any personal identification information with our partners for analysis purposes (e.g., total monthly visitor counts). We will only disclose your personal information if required to do so by law.

6. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, no internet transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

7. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Request that we correct any inaccurate personal data.
• Request that we delete your personal data.
• Change your cookie consent at any time by clearing your browser's local storage for our site.

To exercise these rights, please contact us via our contact page.

8. Third-Party Websites

Our website may contain links to other websites. This Privacy Policy only applies to our website, so when you link to other websites, you should read their own privacy policies.

9. Children's Privacy

Our service is not directed to individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to delete such information.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
