Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains what personal data Archinsight collects through archinsight.org (the “Site”), how that data is used, and what rights you may have regarding it.

2. Data We Collect

We may collect the following information:

  • Account and contact information, such as your name and email address, when you sign up, subscribe to updates, use a contact form, or contact us directly.
  • Usage and technical data, such as pages visited, browser type, operating system, IP address, and other information generated when you access the Site.
  • Email delivery data, such as whether an email was successfully delivered, bounced, or unsubscribed from.

We collect email addresses directly from people who interact with Archinsight. We do not purchase, rent, or obtain mailing lists from third parties.

3. How We Use Your Data

We use personal data to:

  • Operate and improve the Site and Archinsight services.
  • Manage user accounts and memberships.
  • Respond to questions and requests.
  • Send transactional emails related to your account or use of the Site.
  • Send occasional Archinsight project updates, including release announcements and other relevant news.
  • Understand how the Site is used and improve its content and performance.
  • Comply with applicable legal requirements.

Project updates and newsletters are not intended to be high-frequency marketing communications. You can unsubscribe from them at any time using the unsubscribe link included in the email.

Where the GDPR or similar legislation applies, we process personal data under one or more of the following legal bases:

  • Your consent, where consent is required.
  • Processing necessary to provide a service you requested.
  • Compliance with a legal obligation.
  • Our legitimate interests in operating, securing and improving Archinsight, where those interests do not override your rights and freedoms.

Where email communications require consent under applicable law, they are sent on the basis of that consent. You may withdraw your consent at any time.

5. Email Delivery

Archinsight uses third-party email infrastructure to deliver transactional messages and project updates.

Newsletters and release announcements may be delivered using a third-party provider. To deliver these messages, information such as your email address and email delivery metadata may be processed by the email provider.

Email addresses collected through Archinsight are used for Archinsight-related communications and are not sold or rented to third parties.

Every newsletter or project update includes a way to unsubscribe from future non-transactional emails.

6. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell or rent your personal data.

We may share limited personal data with service providers where necessary to operate the Site, deliver email, or provide related infrastructure. These providers process data only for the purposes required to provide their services.

We may also disclose information where required by law or when necessary to protect the security and rights of Archinsight or its users.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as it is reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy or as required by law.

If you unsubscribe from project updates, we may retain limited information necessary to record that preference and avoid sending further newsletters.

When personal data is no longer required, it is deleted or anonymized where appropriate.

8. International Transfers

Some service providers used by Archinsight may process data in countries other than your own.

Where required by applicable data protection law, appropriate safeguards are used for international transfers of personal data.

9. Your Rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have the right to:

  • Access personal data we hold about you.
  • Correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
  • Request deletion of your personal data.
  • Object to or restrict certain processing.
  • Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
  • Unsubscribe from non-transactional email communications.

To exercise these rights, please contact us using the contact details provided below.

10. Data Security

We use appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, or misuse.

The Site may contain links to third-party websites. Archinsight is not responsible for the privacy practices of those websites. Their handling of personal data is governed by their own privacy policies.

12. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when the Site, its services, or applicable requirements change.

The current version of the Policy is always published on this page.
