What data we process
This website does not use cookies and does not ask you to submit personal details through forms. The only data processed is:
- Server and hosting logs. The site is hosted on Amazon Web Services (Amazon S3 and Amazon CloudFront). Like most web hosting, these services may automatically record technical information such as your IP address, browser type, referring page, and the date and time of your request. This is used to operate the site securely and to understand aggregate usage.
- Cookieless analytics. This site uses (or is configured to use) privacy-friendly, cookieless analytics to understand aggregate, anonymised usage such as page views and general visitor numbers. These tools do not set cookies, do not build a profile of you, and do not track you across other websites.
- Email correspondence. If you choose to email us or connect via LinkedIn, we will process the information you send in order to respond to you.
We do not sell your data, use it for advertising, or share it for marketing purposes.
Legal basis for processing
Under UK GDPR, we rely on our legitimate interests to run a secure, functional website and to understand aggregate usage in a privacy-preserving way. Where you contact us directly, we process your information on the basis of responding to your request and our legitimate interest in communicating with you.
Third parties
A small number of service providers help run this site:
- Amazon Web Services — website hosting and content delivery (S3 and CloudFront).
- Cookieless analytics provider — privacy-friendly, aggregate analytics that do not use cookies or personal profiles.
Fonts on this site are self-hosted, so viewing the site does not send your data to third-party font services. These providers act as our processors and only handle data as needed to deliver their service.
International transfers
Some providers (such as Amazon Web Services) may process technical data outside the United Kingdom. Where that happens, we rely on appropriate safeguards recognised under UK data protection law, such as the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or equivalent standard contractual clauses.
How long we keep data
Technical logs are kept only for as long as needed for security and operational purposes and are then deleted or retained only in aggregate, non-identifying form. Email correspondence is kept for as long as needed to deal with your enquiry and any follow-up.
Your rights
Under UK GDPR you have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you.
- Ask us to correct inaccurate data.
- Ask us to erase your data.
- Object to or restrict how we process your data.
- Request a copy of data you have provided (data portability).
To exercise any of these rights, email phininder.balaghan@traversally.ai. You also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Any changes will be published on this page with a revised "last updated" date.
