Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 24, 2026

Architectural Intelligence ("we," "our," or "us") operates the website www.archin.tel. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you visit our website or engage our services. By using our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

Information You Provide

When you submit our contact form, we collect your name, company name, email address, service interest, and any additional message you include. We use this information solely to respond to your inquiry, evaluate fit for our services, and communicate with you about potential engagements.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit our website, we automatically collect certain information to understand how visitors use our site and to measure advertising performance. This includes:

Page and event data: Pages visited, referral source (how you found us), time spent on each page, and interactions such as form submissions or button clicks.
Device and browser information: Browser type, operating system, screen resolution, device type (desktop or mobile), preferred language, and timezone. We use a combination of these attributes to generate a one-way cryptographic hash that serves as an anonymous visitor identifier. This hash cannot be reversed to reveal the underlying data, and it is not linked to your name, email, or any other personally identifying information.
Geographic location: Country and general region, derived from your network connection at the edge level. We do not collect or store precise IP addresses in our analytics system — all network identifiers are hashed and anonymized before storage.

Information Collected by Third Parties

Third-party services embedded on our site (described in Section 4) may independently collect information through cookies, pixels, or similar technologies, subject to their own privacy policies.

2. How We Use Your Information

To respond to inquiries submitted through our contact form
To evaluate whether our services are a good fit for your business needs
To provide, maintain, and improve our consulting services
To understand how visitors use our website so we can improve the experience
To measure the effectiveness and return on investment of our advertising campaigns
To detect and prevent fraudulent or unauthorized activity on our website

3. Legal Basis for Processing

We process your information based on the following legal grounds:

Consent: When you voluntarily submit information through our contact form.
Legitimate interest: To operate, analyze, and improve our website and business, and to measure advertising effectiveness, where such interests are not overridden by your rights.
Legal obligation: To comply with applicable laws, regulations, or legal processes.

4. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services that may collect or process data:

Google Ads and Google Tag (gtag.js): We use Google's advertising platform to run search ads and track conversions (such as form submissions). Google may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our site or other sites. The Google tag on our site transmits conversion events to Google when you complete specific actions. You can opt out of personalized advertising at Google Ad Settings or by installing the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on.
FormSubmit.co: Contact form submissions are transmitted to FormSubmit.co for email delivery to us. Your form data passes through their servers. FormSubmit does not store your submission data permanently and is used solely as a transmission mechanism.
Cloudflare: Our website is hosted on Cloudflare Pages and uses Cloudflare's content delivery network. Cloudflare may collect standard server logs including IP addresses for security, performance, and abuse prevention purposes, governed by Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.

5. Cookies and Local Storage

Cookies: Our website uses cookies set by Google for advertising and analytics purposes. These cookies help measure ad performance and may be used to serve relevant ads on other sites you visit.

Local storage: We use your browser's localStorage to maintain an anonymous visitor identifier for our internal, first-party analytics. This identifier is a random string that contains no personal information and is not shared with any third party. It persists until you clear your browser data.

How to control cookies: You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may limit certain website functionality. Most browsers also allow you to clear localStorage data through their developer tools or privacy settings.

6. Opting Out of Analytics

You may opt out of our internal analytics tracking by visiting our website with the parameter ?notrack=1 appended to the URL (e.g., www.archin.tel/?notrack=1). Once activated, this opt-out persists across visits on that device. To opt out of Google's tracking, use the tools linked in Section 4 above.

7. Do Not Track

Some browsers transmit a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. There is no industry consensus on how to respond to DNT signals, and our website does not currently alter its data collection practices based on DNT signals. You can use the opt-out mechanism described in Section 6 to disable our analytics tracking.

8. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We do not share your personal information except in the following circumstances:

Service providers: With the third-party services listed in Section 4, solely to the extent necessary to operate our website and measure advertising performance.
Legal requirements: When disclosure is required by law, regulation, subpoena, court order, or other legal process.
Protection of rights: When we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, safety, or property, or the rights, safety, or property of others.
Business transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our business, in which case your information would remain subject to this Privacy Policy or a policy at least as protective.

9. Data Retention

Analytics data stored in our internal system is retained for 90 days and then automatically deleted. Contact form submissions and related correspondence are retained as long as reasonably necessary to provide our services, maintain business records, and comply with legal obligations. When retention is no longer necessary, data is securely deleted.

10. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the information we collect, including:

All data is transmitted over encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS)
Network identifiers are cryptographically hashed before storage
Raw IP addresses are not stored in our analytics system
Access to analytics data is restricted and protected by authentication
Third-party services are selected for their security practices

No method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. California Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident, you have the following rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA):
