Privacy Policy

1. Scope and Entity Overview

This Privacy Policy applies solely to digital services, public websites, and content operated directly by EA Horizon, Inc. (the "Site"). It does not apply to any third-party websites, applications, services, or offline operations that may be linked to or accessible from this Site. Formal professional services, client engineering projects, and corporate consultancy agreements are governed by separate bilateral contracts.

2. Information We Collect

We collect only the minimum amount of information necessary to deliver, maintain, secure, and operate the Site:

• Automatically Collected Technical Logs: When you access the Site, our servers automatically log technical metadata including your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser software, operating system, device identifiers, referring/exit URLs, requested resources, HTTP status codes, and timestamp data. This information is utilized strictly for system administration, traffic analysis, firewall security, and DDoS protection.
• Voluntarily Provided Communications: If you elect to contact us via email, inquiry forms, or feedback submissions, we receive the details you affirmatively provide (such as your name, corporate affiliation, email address, telephone number, and message contents). We use this information solely to evaluate and respond to your direct inquiry.
• No Sensitive Personal Data: We do not intentionally request, process, or collect sensitive personal data (e.g., government identity numbers, financial account credentials, medical records, biometric data, or racial/ethnic identifiers) through the public Site. Please do not transmit sensitive personal data through unencrypted web forms.

3. How We Use Collected Information

Information collected is processed exclusively for legitimate, limited operational purposes:

• Maintaining, diagnosing, and securing the Site against technical failures, cyber threats, automated scrapers, and malicious intrusions;
• Enforcing our Terms & Conditions and preventing fraudulent or unlawful activity;
• Responding directly to business, architectural, engineering, or technical inquiries initiated by you;
• Generating aggregated, non-identifying telemetry regarding audience engagement, bandwidth consumption, and popular resources;
• Complying with mandatory legal obligations, subpoenas, or lawful government directives.

4. Strict Non-Sale and Non-Disclosure Policy

We do not sell, rent, lease, monetize, or trade your personal information to any third parties for monetary or other commercial consideration. We have not sold or shared personal information in the preceding twelve (12) months and will not do so.

We share information only under the following strictly constrained circumstances:

• Operational Service Providers: Trusted third-party vendors who provide essential infrastructure (e.g., server hosting, content delivery networks, DNS routing, and technical analytics) subject to strict data protection and confidentiality duties.
• Legal and Regulatory Compulsion: When required by applicable federal, state, or international laws, subpoenas, warrants, or court orders, or when we determine in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, safety, or legal integrity of EA Horizon, Inc., our clients, or the public.
• Corporate Successors: In the event of an asset acquisition, merger, reorganization, or transfer of business operations, subject to the successor adhering to this Policy.

5. Cookies, Local Storage & Tracking Technologies

The Site utilizes minimal client-side storage technologies:

• Essential Technical Cookies: Transient session cookies and local storage tokens used strictly to remember basic UI preferences (such as Light/Dark theme selection) and support secure site navigation.
• Aggregated Analytics: We may utilize privacy-respecting analytics services (e.g., Google Analytics GA4 with IP anonymization enabled) to analyze macro traffic trends without creating cross-site behavioral profiles.

You can configure your browser to block or alert you about cookies. If you choose to disable cookies, some minor stylistic preferences may reset between visits, but core informational content will remain accessible.

6. Data Security & Disclaimer of Breach Liability

We implement reasonable and appropriate commercial, technical, and organizational security measures to protect information under our control against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

7. Data Retention

Technical server logs are routinely overwritten, purged, or aggregated on a short-term rolling schedule (typically within thirty to ninety days) unless required for ongoing security investigations or legal compliance. Voluntarily submitted inquiries are retained only for as long as necessary to fulfill the business communication or as mandated by statutory records retention schedules.

8. Your Legal Rights (GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, and Applicable US Laws)

Depending on your geographic location and applicable local statutes (including the EU General Data Protection Regulation and the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended), you may possess the following rights regarding personal data we hold:

• Right to Know / Access: You may request confirmation of whether we process your personal data and obtain a copy of that data.
• Right to Rectification: You may request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal records.
• Right to Erasure / Deletion: You may request deletion of personal information you voluntarily provided, subject to statutory exceptions (such as regulatory retention or security logging).
• Right to Restrict or Object: You may object to or request restriction of certain processing activities.
• Non-Discrimination: We will never discriminate against you, deny services, or alter rates because you exercised any statutory privacy right.

Verification Requirement: To safeguard personal data from unauthorized extraction, we require identity verification before fulfilling statutory requests. We reserve the right to deny requests that are manifestly unfounded, repetitive, or cannot be verified.

9. Children's Online Privacy (COPPA Compliance)

The Site is intended exclusively for businesses, engineering professionals, and adult visitors. We do not knowingly solicit, collect, or maintain personal information from individuals under eighteen (18) years of age (or under 13 under COPPA). If we discover that personal data of a minor has been collected without verified parental consent, we will promptly delete such information.

10. International Transfers

EA Horizon, Inc. operates primarily from the United States. If you access the Site from outside the United States, you acknowledge that any information collected will be transferred, processed, and stored within the United States or other jurisdictions where our cloud infrastructure providers maintain facilities. By accessing the Site, you consent to this transfer and processing.

11. Unilateral Amendments & Modifications

We reserve the unconstrained right to modify, amend, or replace this Privacy Policy at any time in our sole discretion. Any changes will become effective immediately upon publication of the revised policy on this page, accompanied by the updated "Effective Date." Your continued use of the Site after any such revisions constitutes your explicit acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
