The short version
We collect only what you give us and the minimal technical data any website generates. We use it to respond to you and deliver services you request. We do not sell or share your personal information, we run no advertising trackers, and we set no analytics cookies. Email hello@aeternusdynamics.com at any time to see, correct, or delete what we hold.
What we collect, and where
- Engagement builder (engage.html). The information you type — company, name, email, phone, registration numbers, project details, notes — plus your typed signature and consent timestamps. It becomes your signed engagement record: a copy downloads to your own device, and a copy is transmitted to us by the email your device sends or by our form endpoint.
- Site assistant (chat). The messages you type in the chat window. They are sent to our AI provider (Anthropic) to generate a reply, and a truncated copy is kept briefly in our hosting provider's operational logs so we can review the assistant's answers for quality and scope. The assistant identifies itself as automated; please do not put Social Security numbers, payroll records, or other sensitive personal data into chat — use email for anything sensitive.
- Email. Anything you send to hello@aeternusdynamics.com, which is forwarded to our operator inbox.
- Hosting logs. Our host (Vercel) records standard server logs — IP address, browser user-agent, pages requested — for security and reliability. We do not use them to profile you.
What we use it for
Responding to your inquiry, preparing and performing an engagement, meeting record-retention obligations that apply to compliance work, and securing this site. That is the whole list. We do not use your information for third-party advertising, and we do not sell or "share" (as the CCPA defines sharing) personal information — and have not in the preceding 12 months.
Who processes it on our behalf
Service providers under their own privacy commitments: Vercel (site hosting and serverless functions), Anthropic (AI responses for the chat assistant), Porkbun (domain and email forwarding), and Google Workspace/Gmail (operator inbox). We disclose information beyond these providers only when a service you engaged requires a filing (for example, submitting certified payroll to a public agency at your direction) or when the law compels it.
Your rights (California and everyone else)
California residents have rights under the CCPA/CPRA to know, correct, and delete personal information, and to not be discriminated against for exercising those rights. Our firm may fall below the statutory thresholds at which the CCPA applies — we honor these requests regardless. Write to hello@aeternusdynamics.com and we will respond within 30 days. Because we do not sell or share personal information, there is nothing to opt out of; we also do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes beyond delivering the services described here. We treat Global Privacy Control signals as an opt-out preference, which in our case changes nothing because there is no sale or sharing to opt out of.
Retention
Inquiry correspondence is kept as long as useful to respond to you. Signed engagement records and compliance work product are retained for the period required by the statutes governing that work (certified payroll records, for example, carry their own retention requirements), then deleted.
Children
This site is a business-to-business service and is not directed to anyone under 16. We do not knowingly collect information from minors.
Changes
If this policy changes, the effective date above changes with it, and material changes will be noted here. This page is the single authoritative copy.
