Privacy Policy

Quantifying Antiquity respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through quantifyingantiquity.com, how we use it, and the choices available to you.

Information We Collect

When you submit the contact form, we may collect:

• Your name
• Your email address
• The message you submit
• Whether you choose to receive occasional Quantifying Antiquity updates

Our hosting, security, and email service providers may also process limited technical information associated with your visit or submission, such as your IP address, browser information, request metadata, and automated security-verification results.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information you provide to:

• Respond to your inquiry
• Maintain a record of correspondence
• Protect the website and contact form from spam, abuse, and automated submissions
• Send occasional updates about Quantifying Antiquity, its models, research, publications, or related work—but only if you have chosen to receive those updates
• Maintain, secure, and improve the operation of the website

Submitting the contact form does not automatically subscribe you to updates. The updates option is voluntary and will be unchecked by default.

Email Updates

If you choose to receive updates, your email address may be stored in our email contact system and used to send occasional communications regarding Quantifying Antiquity.

Every update email will include an unsubscribe option. You may unsubscribe at any time, and once unsubscribed you will no longer receive future update emails.

Choosing not to receive updates—or unsubscribing later—does not affect our ability to respond to inquiries you send directly through the contact form.

Service Providers

We use trusted third-party service providers to operate the website and process communications, including:

• Cloudflare for website hosting, security, content delivery, and automated human verification.
• Resend for email delivery, contact management, and, where applicable, email updates.

Donations are processed by Stripe and Buy Me a Coffee on their own websites, under their own privacy policies. We do not receive or store your payment card details.

These providers process information only as necessary to provide their respective services.

Sharing of Information

We do not sell your personal information.

We do not share your personal information with advertisers or use it for third-party advertising.

We may disclose information only:

• To service providers that help operate the website and email systems.
• When reasonably necessary to protect the website, its users, or our legal rights.
• When required by applicable law or a valid legal process.

Data Retention

We retain contact form submissions, correspondence, and related contact information for as long as reasonably necessary to:

• Respond to inquiries
• Maintain appropriate records
• Operate and protect the website
• Send updates to subscribers who remain subscribed
• Comply with applicable legal obligations

If you request deletion of your information, we will make reasonable efforts to honor that request unless retention is required for legal, security, fraud-prevention, or recordkeeping purposes.

Your Choices

You may contact us at any time to request that we:

• Correct inaccurate information
• Delete your contact information, subject to legitimate retention requirements
• Remove you from future Quantifying Antiquity updates
• Answer questions regarding this Privacy Policy

Children’s Privacy

Quantifying Antiquity is not directed toward children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

If you believe a child has submitted personal information through this website, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to remove it.

Data Security

We employ reasonable administrative and technical safeguards designed to protect information submitted through the website. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

International Processing

Our service providers may process information in the United States or other countries in which they or their service providers operate. Those jurisdictions may have privacy laws that differ from those in your country of residence.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time as the website or our practices evolve.

Any changes will be posted on this page together with an updated Effective Date.
