Privacy notice

1. Who we are

This website is run by Ardelia, Inc., registered address (“Ardelia”, “we”, “us”). We are the controller of the personal data described in this notice.

For any question about your data, or to exercise any of the rights below, write to privacy contact address, e.g. info@.

2. What we collect

When you register to learn more

• Your email address.
• The name of your institution, if you choose to give it.
• The date and time you registered.

We do not ask for, and do not want, any other information through the form.

When you visit the website

Our hosting provider, Cloudflare, processes technical data needed to deliver the website and protect it from attack, such as your IP address, browser type and the pages requested. We do not use this data to identify you, and we do not combine it with your registration.

3. Why, and on what legal basis

Writing to you about Ardelia

We use your email address to tell you when Ardelia opens and, occasionally, to share news about the project, such as new sources. Our legal basis is your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you give by registering and can withdraw at any time.

Telling our team about your registration

When you register, our team receives an email with your address and institution so that we can follow up with interested institutions. This relies on the same consent.

Running and securing the website

Technical data is processed on the basis of our legitimate interest in providing a working, secure website (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).

We do not sell your data, use it for advertising, or make automated decisions about you.

4. Who else handles it

We use a small number of service providers, who process data only on our instructions and under data processing agreements:

• Cloudflare, Inc. hosts the website and the database that stores registrations.
• Resend delivers the notification email about each registration to our team. Confirm provider
• Mailing-list provider, if one is used to write to registrants

We may disclose data if the law requires it.

5. International transfers

Some of our providers are based in the United States or process data there. Where personal data leaves the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we rely on the EU–US Data Privacy Framework (and its UK extension) where the provider is certified, or on the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses. You can ask us for a copy of the relevant safeguards.

6. How long we keep it

We keep your registration until you withdraw your consent or ask us to delete it, or until retention period, e.g. 24 months after Ardelia opens if we have not written to you in that time, whichever comes first. We act on deletion requests within 30 days.

Cloudflare keeps technical logs for a short period set by its own policies.

7. Your rights

Under the GDPR and the UK GDPR you have the right to:

• ask for a copy of the personal data we hold about you;
• have inaccurate data corrected;
• have your data deleted;
• restrict or object to how we use it;
• receive your data in a portable format;
• withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting what we did before you withdrew it.

To use any of these rights, write to privacy contact address. You can also complain to your data protection authority, for example lead supervisory authority for the company, or the authority where you live or work.

8. Cookies and tracking

This website sets no cookies and uses no analytics, advertising or social media trackers. Its typefaces are served from our own site, so your browser does not contact font services such as Google Fonts.

9. Changes to this notice

If we change how we handle personal data, we will update this page and the date at the top. If a change affects registrations already made, we will tell you by email.
