Privacy Policy for The Alexandria Project

Effective Date: September 9th 2024

The Alexandria Project we value your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information of our users. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you interact with our website or engage with any other resources hosted by The Alexandria Project.

By using our website or services, you agree to the terms outlined in this Privacy Policy.

Currently: No User Accounts

At this time, The Alexandria Project does not require or support user accounts. As a result, we do not collect personal information such as usernames, email addresses, or passwords. However, we still collect non-personally identifiable information as part of our standard website operations.

Future Plans: User Accounts

In the future, we plan to offer user accounts. When we do, we may collect and store the following types of information:

• Account Information: Such as your name, email address, and password.

• Content Contributions: Any definitions, edits, or content you contribute to the library.

• Usage Data: Information about your interactions with the site, such as pages visited or contributions made.

2. Non-Personal Information Collected

• Cookies: We use cookies to enhance your experience and analyze site traffic. You can modify your browser settings to block or delete cookies, though this may impact your experience on the site.

• Analytics Data: We use third-party services (such as Google Analytics) to track website usage and gather information about how users interact with our content. This information is used to improve the website and is not linked to any personally identifiable information.

3. How We Use Your Information

When we introduce user accounts, any personal information you provide will be used to:

• Provide and manage your access to the website and its features.

• Facilitate your contributions to The Alexandria Library and other Alexandria resources.

• Communicate with you regarding updates, changes, or notifications about our services.

• Improve the functionality and user experience of our website.

We do not sell, trade, or share your personal information with third parties for any reason.

4. Data Security

We take the security of your information seriously. We implement standard security measures (such as encryption and secure data storage) to protect the personal information we collect. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. For this reason we recommend 2FA on all associated login information. 

5. Third-Party Links

Our website contains links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of such external sites. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any third-party websites you visit.
