Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Automata Army ("Company", "we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit the automata.army portfolio website.

This policy complies with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for EU residents, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) for California residents, and other applicable privacy laws.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide on automata.army

The automata.army portfolio website itself does not collect personal information from visitors. There are no signup forms, no payment flows, and no contact forms on this site. Visitors can email us directly via the Contact page, in which case we receive whatever you choose to include in your email.

When you click through to one of our linked products, that product's own privacy policy applies to your interaction with it.

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

• Usage Data: Pages visited, click events, time spent on the site
• Device Information: Browser type, operating system, device identifiers
• Log Data: IP address (used for city-level geo, not stored long-term), access times, referring URLs
• Marketing Parameters: UTM tags and campaign IDs in inbound links

3. How We Use Your Information

We use collected information for the following purposes:

• Understanding which products visitors are most interested in
• Measuring inbound traffic sources and marketing campaign performance
• Improving the site's content, structure, and performance
• Responding to emails you send us via the Contact page
• Detecting and preventing abuse (e.g., scraping, denial-of-service)
• Complying with legal obligations

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

The automata.army portfolio site uses Google Tag Manager (containerGTM-MJ9G756L) to load Google Analytics 4 (propertyG-XBYF2M2DPS) on every page. Google sets standard analytics cookies in your browser — typically _ga,_ga_<container-id>, and _gid.

Through Google Analytics 4 we collect:

• Page views and navigation paths
• Click events on product cards (event name product_click with a product_slug parameter)
• Device, browser, and operating system
• City-level geolocation derived from your IP address (the IP itself is not stored long-term per Google's defaults)
• Referring URL and UTM campaign parameters

These cookies are set by Google. See Google's Privacy Policy for how Google processes this data.

To opt out, you can (a) enable Do Not Track or block third-party cookies in your browser, or (b) install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. Opting out does not affect the functionality of this portfolio site.

5. Third-Party Services

The automata.army portfolio site uses the following third-party services:

• Google Analytics 4 + Google Tag Manager: Visitor analytics and event tracking (see section 4)
• Cloud Providers: Site hosting and infrastructure (AWS)
• Email Services: Replying to messages you send via the Contact page

These providers are contractually obligated to protect your data and use it only as directed.

Payment processing for our products (Stripe and others) is handled inside each individual product, not on this portfolio site. See the product's own privacy policy for details.

6. Data Retention

We retain your information for as long as necessary to:

• Provide our services to you
• Comply with legal obligations
• Resolve disputes and enforce agreements

Account data is typically retained until you request deletion. Usage logs are retained for up to 2 years. Payment records are retained as required by tax and financial regulations.

However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
