This Privacy Policy describes how Lumen Protocol ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit lumenprotocol.pages.dev (the "Site"). By using the Site, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

Information We Collect

Information You Provide

We collect information you voluntarily provide when you contact us by email. This includes your email address and the content of your message. We use this information solely to respond to your inquiry and do not add you to any marketing list.

Information Collected Automatically

Like most websites, we collect basic technical information automatically, including:

  • IP address (used for security and analytics, not personalized tracking)
  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system
  • Referring URL (the page you came from)
  • Pages visited and time spent on each page
  • Approximate geographic location (country/region level)

This information is used in aggregate to understand how visitors use the Site and to improve our content.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

The Site uses minimal cookies:

  • Theme preference: We store your light/dark mode preference in localStorage (not a cookie). This data never leaves your device.
  • Analytics cookies: If we implement analytics (e.g., Google Analytics, Plausible), we may use cookies to track aggregate usage patterns. We will update this policy if/when analytics are added.
  • Amazon Associates cookie: When you click an Amazon affiliate link on our site, Amazon sets a cookie in your browser to track your purchases for 24 hours. This cookie is set by Amazon, not by us, and is governed by Amazon's privacy policy.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Respond to your emails and inquiries
  • Analyze aggregate usage patterns to improve our content
  • Detect and prevent fraud or abuse of the Site
  • Comply with legal obligations

We do NOT use your information to:

  • Send marketing emails (we don't have a newsletter)
  • Sell or rent your data to third parties
  • Create personalized advertising profiles
  • Track you across other websites

Third-Party Services

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

  • Amazon Associates: When you click an Amazon link, Amazon may set cookies and collect data per their privacy policy. See Amazon's Privacy Notice.
  • Cloudflare Pages: Our hosting provider. Cloudflare may collect basic technical data (IP, browser) for security and performance. See Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.
  • Future analytics: If we add analytics (Plausible, Fathom, or Google Analytics), we will update this policy.
  • Future display ads: If we add display ads (Mediavine or AdSense), the ad network may set cookies. We will update this policy and add a cookie consent notice at that time.

Data Retention

We retain emails you send us for as long as needed to respond to your inquiry and for our records. Aggregate analytics data is typically retained indefinitely. You can request deletion of any personal data you've sent us by emailing theowner4747@gmail.com.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have certain privacy rights:

  • Right to access: You can request a copy of any personal data we hold about you.
  • Right to deletion: You can request deletion of your personal data.
  • Right to opt out: You can opt out of any future communications by emailing us.
  • CCPA (California): California residents have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act.
  • GDPR (EU): EU residents have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation, including the right to access, rectify, and erase personal data.

To exercise any of these rights, email theowner4747@gmail.com.

Children's Privacy

The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have collected information from a child, please contact us so we can delete it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we'll update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
