Legal
Privacy policy.
Last updated: 2026-03-01. This document may be updated as the platform evolves. We recommend reviewing it periodically.
Overview
Archtivy is operated by Archtivy LLC ("Archtivy", "we", "us"). This policy explains what personal data we collect when you use the platform, how we use it, and what rights you have in relation to that data.
We do not sell personal data. We do not share your data with third parties except as necessary to operate the platform and as described in this policy, including the advertising section below.
Data we collect
Account information
When you create an account, we collect your email address, display name, username, and any profile information you choose to provide (bio, location, avatar). Authentication is handled by Clerk, which processes your credentials on our behalf.
Content you publish
Projects, products, images, descriptions, team credits, and links you submit to the platform. This content is public and visible to all platform users unless you delete it.
Usage data
Anonymised data about how you interact with the platform — pages visited, features used, and session duration. Collected via Vercel Analytics. This data does not identify individual users.
Technical data
IP address, browser type, device type, and server request logs. Collected automatically by our infrastructure for security and performance purposes.
How we use your data
- To operate the platform and provide the services you have requested
- To display your profile, projects, and products to other users
- To send transactional messages related to your account (confirmations, notifications)
- To improve the platform through anonymised analytics
- To comply with applicable legal obligations
What is public
Your profile and the projects or products you publish are visible to anyone who accesses the platform, including search engines. Do not post information you do not want to be publicly visible. You can delete your content at any time, though some aggregated or anonymised data may be retained for analytical purposes.
Third-party services
We use the following third-party services to operate the platform:
- Clerk — authentication and identity management
- Supabase — database and file storage
- Vercel — hosting and anonymised analytics
Each provider processes data on our behalf under data processing agreements. Aside from the advertising technology described in the next section, we do not share your data with any other third parties without your consent, except where required by law.
Advertising
Archtivy does not currently display third-party advertising. We are preparing to support the platform in part through advertising, and this section describes what that will involve so the position is clear before anything changes. We will update the date at the top of this page when advertising becomes active.
When advertising is enabled, we expect to work with Google, using Google AdSense, and potentially with other advertising technology providers. In that arrangement:
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to Archtivy or other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and other sites on the internet.
- Ad technology providers may receive technical data including your IP address, approximate location derived from it, device and browser type, and online identifiers such as cookie IDs.
- This data may be used to select and deliver advertising, to limit how often you see a particular ad, and to measure whether an ad was seen or acted upon.
- Advertising may be personalized, using the data described above, or non-personalized, which uses contextual signals and coarse location rather than a profile built about you.
You can review and control how Google uses data when you use sites that work with it, and opt out of personalized advertising from Google, at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites and myadcenter.google.com. Opting out of vendors more broadly is available at optout.aboutads.info.
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, we will ask for your consent through a consent management platform before any personalized advertising is served or any non-essential cookie is set, and you will be able to change or withdraw that choice at any time. Until such a platform is in place, we will not serve personalized advertising to visitors in those regions.
Advertising is never targeted using the content of private messages, saved boards, or any other non-public activity on Archtivy, and we do not provide advertisers with your email address or account details.
Data retention
We retain your account data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the service. If you delete your account, we will delete or anonymise your personal data within 30 days, subject to any legal retention obligations. Technical and usage data is retained for up to 12 months.
Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:
- Access — request a copy of the data we hold about you
- Rectification — request correction of inaccurate data
- Erasure — request deletion of your personal data
- Restriction — request that we limit processing in certain circumstances
- Portability — receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format
- Objection — object to processing based on legitimate interests
To exercise any of these rights, contact info@archtivy.com. We respond to all requests within 30 days.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page indicates when it was last revised. Continued use of the platform after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy. For material changes, we will notify active users by email.
