Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Archie Ventures LLC ("Archie Ventures," "we," "us," or "our"), operating the Agent Archie project and the website located at agentarchie.com (the "Site"), collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards information in connection with the Site and the services we provide (collectively, the "Services").
By accessing or using the Site or Services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, please do not use the Site or Services.
1. Scope
This Privacy Policy applies to information we collect through the Site, through your communications with us, and in the course of delivering our Services to clients and their end users. It does not apply to third-party websites, applications, or services that we do not control, even if they are linked from the Site.
Where we process personal data on behalf of a client (for example, as part of building or operating an agent system for that client), that client is the controller of the data and we act as a processor or service provider. In those cases, the client's own privacy notice governs, and you should direct privacy requests to that client.
2. Information We Collect
a. Information you provide to us
- Contact and identity information — such as your name, company name, email address, phone number, and mailing address when you contact us, request information, or engage us for Services.
- Communications content — the content of messages, emails, form submissions, and other correspondence you send to us.
- Business and project information — information you provide about your business, systems, or requirements in the course of a project.
b. Information collected automatically
When you visit the Site, our hosting and infrastructure providers may automatically collect certain technical information, including:
- IP address and approximate geographic region;
- browser type, device type, and operating system;
- pages viewed, referring pages, and timestamps; and
- log and security data used to operate and protect the Site.
c. Cookies and similar technologies
The Site may use a minimal set of cookies or similar technologies strictly necessary for security, load balancing, and basic functionality. We do not use the Site to serve third-party advertising. Where required by law, we will obtain your consent before setting non-essential cookies.
3. How We Use Information
We use the information we collect to:
- provide, operate, maintain, and improve the Site and Services;
- respond to inquiries and communicate with you;
- deliver, support, and manage projects and client engagements;
- monitor and protect the security and integrity of our systems;
- comply with legal, tax, and regulatory obligations; and
- enforce our agreements and protect our rights and the rights of others.
We do not sell your personal information. We do not use the content of client engagements to train third-party, general-purpose models, and we do not disclose client information to third parties except as described in this Privacy Policy.
4. Legal Bases for Processing (EEA and UK)
If you are located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we process personal data only where we have a valid legal basis, including: your consent; the performance of a contract with you; our legitimate interests in operating and improving our business (balanced against your rights); and compliance with legal obligations.
5. How We Share Information
We may share information with the following categories of recipients, only as necessary for the purposes described above:
| Category | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Infrastructure and hosting providers | Operating the Site and our systems (e.g., cloud hosting, networking, and edge services). |
| Software and AI service providers | Providing functionality used to build and run agent systems, under our instructions and confidentiality obligations. |
| Professional advisers | Legal, accounting, insurance, and compliance support. |
| Authorities and successors | Responding to lawful requests, or in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets. |
We require service providers that process personal data on our behalf to protect it and to use it only for the purposes we specify.
6. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, to comply with our legal obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce our agreements. Retention periods vary based on the nature of the information and our relationship with you. When information is no longer needed, we delete or de-identify it.
7. Security
We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. These measures include access controls, encryption of data in transit, and the principle of least privilege. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. International Data Transfers
We are based in the United States. If you access the Site or Services from outside the United States, information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States and other countries where our providers operate. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses) for cross-border transfers.
9. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including the right to:
- access the personal information we hold about you;
- request correction of inaccurate information;
- request deletion of your information;
- object to or restrict certain processing;
- request portability of information you provided; and
- withdraw consent at any time, where processing is based on consent.
California residents have additional rights under the CCPA/CPRA, including the right to know, delete, correct, and opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information (we do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined), and the right not to be discriminated against for exercising those rights. You may also designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details in Section 13. We will verify your request and respond within the timeframes required by applicable law. You may also lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.
10. Children's Privacy
The Site and Services are intended for businesses and adults. They are not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.
11. Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" signal. Because there is no common industry standard for how to interpret these signals, the Site does not currently respond to them. We do not track visitors across third-party websites for advertising purposes.
12. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will revise the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, provide additional notice. Your continued use of the Site or Services after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.
