Privacy Policy
Last Updated:
Welcome to Handwritium Archive. We believe that your digital privacy is a fundamental right. This Privacy Policy outlines our commitment to protecting your personal information and explains how our website operates on a global scale.
1. Core Privacy Principle: Zero Analytics
We do not track you. Handwritium Archive does not use Google Analytics, third-party trackers, pixels, or any telemetry software. We do not monitor your behavior, log your IP address for marketing purposes, or profile your media consumption habits.
2. Information We Do Not Collect
Because of our strict zero-tracking policy, we do not collect, store, or process any of the following data on our servers:
- Your browsing history or search queries.
- Which books you read, audiobooks you listen to, or videos you watch.
- Your device information, operating system, or location data.
3. Local Storage & Cookies
To provide a seamless and personalized experience, Handwritium Archive utilizes your browser's native Local Storage. This means specific data is saved directly on your personal device (phone or computer) and is never transmitted to our servers.
Data stored locally on your device includes:
- Preferences: Theme choices, font sizes, and accent colors.
- Library Data: Your saved Favorites and Media History.
Global Compliance Note (GDPR/ePrivacy): Because these are strictly necessary for the site's functionality and do not track you across the internet, they do not require a cookie consent banner. You have complete control over this data and can delete it at any time by clearing your browser data or using the "Clear Data" button in our Settings menu.
4. Information You Provide Voluntarily
The only personal information we may process is information you actively and voluntarily send to us (for example, if you email our support team). If you contact us, we will use your email address solely to respond to your inquiry. We do not sell, rent, or share your contact information with any third parties.
5. Third-Party Links
Our archive may contain links to external websites (such as the Handwritium Store or public domain repositories). Please note that we do not control these external sites and are not responsible for their privacy practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any site you visit.
6. Children's Privacy (COPPA & GDPR-K Compliance)
Handwritium Archive provides access to public domain and educational content. Because we do not collect personal data, we do not knowingly collect, solicit, or store personal information from anyone under the age of 13 (or the applicable age of digital consent in your jurisdiction). If you are a parent or guardian and believe we have inadvertently collected personal data from a minor via an email inquiry, please contact us to have it removed.
7. Your Global Data Rights
Whether you are protected by the GDPR (Europe), CCPA/CPRA (California), LGPD (Brazil), or any other global privacy framework, your rights are respected here. Because we do not hold your data on our servers, there is no personal data for us to export, rectify, or delete on your behalf. You are the sole custodian of your data. To execute your right to deletion, simply clear your browser's Local Storage.
8. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in legal requirements or our operational practices. Any changes will be posted on this page.
