1.Scope

This Policy applies solely to the Site. It does not apply to any third-party website, service, or resource that may be referenced from the Site, and we are not responsible for the privacy practices of any such third party.

For purposes of this Policy, “personal information” means information that identifies, relates to, describes, or is reasonably capable of being associated with an identified or identifiable natural person, and includes the terms “personal data” and “personally identifiable information” as those terms are used in applicable law.

2.Information We Collect

We do not request, collect, or store personal information that you provide directly through the Site. The Site contains no user accounts, registration forms, contact forms, comment fields, newsletter signups, or search functionality, and no script on the Site records the pages you view, the duration of your visit, or the source of your referral.

Information collected automatically. When you request a page, our hosting provider processes technical information that is necessary to deliver that page, including your Internet Protocol (IP) address, the resource requested, the date and time of the request, the HTTP response status, and the user agent string transmitted by your browser. This information is generated and retained by the hosting provider in server logs, as described in the section titled Service Providers and Disclosure of Information.

Information you provide by email. If you choose to contact us at the address published on the Site, we will receive the contents of your message, your email address, and any other information you elect to include.

3.Cookies and Similar Technologies

The Site does not set cookies and does not write to local storage, session storage, or any other client-side storage mechanism. Because no cookies or similar technologies are used for analytics, advertising, personalization, or measurement, no consent banner is presented.

For completeness, we disclose that the software framework used to build the Site includes a routine that checks for the presence of a cookie named __vercel_toolbar, a development utility associated with our hosting provider. That routine reads only and does not create the cookie, the Site does not set the cookie, and the content security policy served with each page prevents the associated script from loading.

4.How We Use Information

We use the limited information described above only for the following purposes: (a) to deliver the pages and files you request; (b) to maintain the availability, integrity, and security of the Site, including the detection and prevention of abuse; and (c) to respond to correspondence that you initiate.

We do not use information to build profiles of visitors, to measure audiences, to target advertising, or to make automated decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects concerning any individual.

5.Legal Bases for Processing

If you are located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we process information on the basis of our legitimate interests under Article 6(1)(f) of the General Data Protection Regulation and the United Kingdom General Data Protection Regulation, namely the interests in delivering the content you have requested, in securing the Site against misuse, and in responding to individuals who contact us. Where you supply information voluntarily by email, processing is also necessary for those legitimate interests.

You may object to processing carried out on the basis of legitimate interests as described in the section titled Your Rights.

6.Service Providers and Disclosure of Information

Hosting. The Site is hosted by Vercel Inc., located in the United States. In the course of delivering pages, Vercel processes the request data described above and retains server logs in accordance with its own retention practices, which we do not control and cannot extend. We do not export, download, aggregate, or otherwise reuse those logs.

Domain name resolution. Domain name service for acrproject.org is provided by Cloudflare, Inc., configured in DNS-only mode. Cloudflare resolves the domain to an IP address and does not proxy, inspect, or receive your requests for pages on the Site.

Fonts and third-party content. The typefaces used on the Site, Fraunces and Public Sans, are compiled at build time and served from our own domain. Your browser makes no request to Google Fonts or to any other third-party host in order to render a page. The Site contains no advertising, no analytics services, no tag managers, no tracking pixels, no social media widgets, and no embedded media, and the content security policy served with each page restricts resource loading to this origin.

Other disclosures. We do not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise disclose information to third parties, except where disclosure is required to comply with applicable law, legal process, or a lawful governmental request, or where necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

7.Data Retention

Server logs are retained by the hosting provider for the period established by its own policy. Correspondence received by email is retained for as long as necessary to address the matter to which it relates and is deleted upon request. We retain no other information, because no other information is collected.

8.International Transfers

The Site is hosted in the United States. If you access the Site from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction outside the United States, the technical information necessary to deliver a page will be processed on servers located in the United States. Where a transfer mechanism is required for that processing, it is the mechanism provided by the hosting provider under its published data processing terms. We maintain no separate transfer mechanism of our own.

9.Security

The Site is served exclusively over HTTPS and instructs browsers, by means of an HTTP Strict Transport Security header, to refuse unencrypted connections in the future. Additional protections include a content security policy limiting the resources a page may load, a directive denying the framing of pages by other sites, the disabling of content type sniffing, and a referrer policy that limits the information transmitted to other sites.

No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we make no guarantee of absolute security. We hold no certification, audit opinion, or third-party attestation with respect to the security of the Site.

10.Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction of residence, you may have the right to request access to the personal information held about you, to obtain a copy of that information in a portable format, to request its correction or deletion, to object to or request restriction of its processing, to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent, and not to receive discriminatory treatment for exercising any of these rights.

Certain of these rights arise under statutes that apply only to businesses meeting specified revenue or data volume thresholds, including the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, and the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act. We make no representation that we meet those thresholds. We extend the rights described in this section to all visitors regardless of residence.

We do not sell personal information and do not share personal information for purposes of cross-context behavioral advertising, as those terms are defined under applicable law. We honor Global Privacy Control signals by default, as the Site conducts no tracking that such a signal would disable.

To exercise a right, contact us using the email address published at the foot of this page. Please note a practical limitation: because we retain no identifier associating you with a visit, a request concerning server logs must include the approximate date and time of the visit and the IP address used, and even then the relevant logs may have been deleted by the hosting provider under its retention schedule. We will respond within the period required by applicable law. If a request is denied, residents of Virginia may appeal that decision by replying to our response and stating that an appeal is requested.

11.Children's Privacy

The Site is not directed to children under 13 years of age, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Because the Site collects no personal information from visitors of any age, no record specific to a child exists. If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us by email, please contact us and we will delete it.

12.Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. The effective date at the top of this page will be revised when the substance of the Policy changes, and the updated Policy will apply from the date of its posting. Your continued use of the Site after an update constitutes acknowledgment of the revised Policy.

This Policy is a description of our practices and does not constitute legal advice. No certification, audit, or endorsement by any third party is claimed.

13.Contact

Questions, requests, and complaints concerning this Policy or our handling of information may be directed to the ACR Project by email at the address published at the foot of this page. We are not established in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom and have not appointed a representative under Article 27 of the General Data Protection Regulation.
