Privacy policy

This privacy policy explains how Lightcurve ('we', 'us', 'our') collects, uses, and protects information when you visit lightcurve.ai. We are committed to handling any data you share with us responsibly and in compliance with applicable law.

We collect two categories of information:

**Information you provide.** If you contact us by email or through any form on this site, we receive the content of your message and any information you include (such as your name, email address, and affiliation).

**Information collected automatically.** Like most websites, our hosting provider may collect standard log data including your IP address, browser type, referring URL, and pages visited. This data is used only for security and performance monitoring.

We use the information we collect to:

— Respond to your enquiries and carry out the communication you initiate — Monitor and improve the security and performance of this website — Comply with legal obligations

We do not use your information for marketing purposes, and we do not build profiles of individual visitors.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share information with service providers who help us operate this website (such as hosting and analytics providers), but only to the extent necessary to perform those services and under appropriate confidentiality obligations.

We may disclose information if required to do so by law or in response to a valid legal process.

We retain email correspondence for as long as it is operationally necessary or required by law. Automatically collected log data is typically retained for no more than 90 days.

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information from unauthorised access, disclosure, or loss. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

If you have questions about personal information we hold about you, or wish to request its deletion or correction, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days.
