This policy is engineered to align with stringent global privacy regimes (GDPR/UK GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, LGPD, PIPEDA).

Scope

This policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information when you visit or interact with Ancient Computer.

What We Collect

  • Identifiers (e.g., name, email) only if you voluntarily provide them (e.g., contact or newsletter).
  • Technical data (IP address, user agent, device/browser details) for security and operations.
  • Analytics data (e.g., page views, referral URLs) via Google Analytics 4 through Google Site Kit. See “Cookies & Tracking”.

How We Use Personal Information

  • To operate and improve our website and content.
  • To communicate with you when you contact us or subscribe to updates.
  • To protect the security and integrity of the site and comply with legal obligations.

Legal Bases (EEA/UK)

  • Contract (responding to your requests you initiate).
  • Consent (non-essential analytics and newsletters, where required). You can withdraw consent at any time.
  • Legitimate interests (security, site operations).
  • Legal obligation (compliance with applicable law).

Google Site Kit & Analytics

We use Google Site Kit to deploy Google Analytics 4 (GA4) with a first-party tag. Where required by law, we obtain consent for analytics cookies/processing before they are set. We implement the following privacy measures:

  • Consent Mode (where configured): GA behavior adapts to your consent choices.
  • IP handling: GA4 does not report raw IP addresses and processes IP regionally per Google’s design.
  • Data retention: We apply a limited retention window in GA4.
  • Signals/ads features: Disabled by default.
  • User deletion: We honor verified deletion requests and will action GA4 user deletion API where relevant.

Cookies & Tracking

We use necessary cookies and—where required by law and with your consent—analytics cookies (Google Analytics 4 via Site Kit). You can manage your preferences using our cookie controls (where available) or your browser settings.

Sharing & Processors

We do not sell personal information. We may share limited data with service providers strictly to operate the site (e.g., hosting, email delivery, Google for analytics). These providers are bound by contracts requiring confidentiality and appropriate security.

International Transfers

If data is transferred internationally (e.g., to the United States), we use appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses) where required by law.

Retention

We keep personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described or as required by law. Security/operational logs may be retained for a reasonable period to protect the site.

Security

We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the nature of the data. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we work continuously to protect your information.

Your Rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have the right to:

  • Access, correct, or delete your personal information;
  • Object to or restrict certain processing, and request portability;
  • Withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent;
  • File a complaint with your supervisory authority/regulator.

California (CCPA/CPRA)

  • Know, access, correct, and delete personal information;
  • Limit use/disclosure of sensitive personal information;
  • Opt-out of “sale” or “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising;
  • Non-discrimination for exercising your rights.

Status: We do not “sell” or “share” personal information as defined by CPRA.

Brazil (LGPD) & Canada (PIPEDA)

Similar rights to access, correct, delete, and object to processing may apply. Contact us to exercise these rights.

Exercising Your Rights

To make a request, contact us at admin@ancientcomputer.com. We may need to verify your identity. Authorized agents may submit requests where permitted by law with valid authorization.

Children

This site is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child provided data, contact us and we will take appropriate action.

Changes

We may update this policy to reflect changes to our practices or legal requirements. We will post the updated version with a new “Last updated” date.
