Privacy Policy

DeepTrace is a deterministic web research engine designed for systematic, reproducible exploration of web content. This privacy policy applies to information collected through our website, contact forms, and public communication channels.

The scope of this policy covers all interactions with DeepTrace's online presence, including the website, documentation, and support channels. It does not apply to the research data collected by users during their independent research activities using the DeepTrace engine.

When you interact with DeepTrace, we may collect the following information:

• Contact form submissions: Name, email address, phone number (optional), subject line, and message content when you use our contact form.
• Communication data: Information from emails or other direct communications you send to us.
• Technical information: Standard web server logs including IP addresses, browser type, and access timestamps for security and maintenance purposes.

Information collected through the DeepTrace website is used for the following purposes:

1. Responding to inquiries: To address your questions, support requests, or collaboration proposals.
2. Improving our tools: Feedback and usage patterns help us enhance the DeepTrace research engine.
3. Internal communication: To maintain records of interactions and provide consistent support.
4. Security monitoring: To detect and prevent unauthorized access or abuse of our services.

We do not use your information for marketing purposes, nor do we sell, rent, or trade any personal data with third parties.

Information submitted through our contact forms is forwarded to a private Telegram bot for internal handling. This data is accessible only to the DeepTrace founder and authorized personnel.

We implement reasonable security practices to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction of data. However, no electronic transmission or storage method is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Contact information is retained only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or as required by law. Routine maintenance includes periodic review and deletion of outdated contact records.

DeepTrace utilizes the following third-party services:

• Telegram Bot API: Used to receive and process contact form submissions. Messages are encrypted in transit and stored in Telegram's secure infrastructure.
• GitHub Pages: Our website is hosted on GitHub Pages, which may collect standard web server logs as part of their service.
• GitHub: Source code and project documentation are hosted on GitHub, subject to their privacy policy for repository interactions.

Each third-party service operates under its own privacy policy. We encourage you to review these policies to understand their data handling practices.

You have the following rights regarding your personal information:

• Right to access: You may request information about what data we have collected about you.
• Right to deletion: You may request removal of your personal information from our records.
• Right to correction: You may request updates to inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Right to objection: You may object to certain types of processing where applicable.
