Privacy Policy
Observatory for Technology is designed from the ground up to respect human dignity and intellectual autonomy. We do not track you across the web, we do not sell your information, and we do not use intrusive surveillance cookies.
1. Zero Behavioral Tracking & Cookies
We do not deploy marketing cookies, retargeting pixels, or third-party behavioral profiling tools on this website. When you visit observatoryfor.tech, including the research blog, your session is private. The site is served as static files by Scaleway, a European cloud provider, which may keep standard short-lived request logs for security.
2. Privacy-Preserving Analytics
To understand basic aggregate readership trends (e.g. which essays or pillars are viewed), we utilize Umami Analytics. Umami is a GDPR-, CCPA-, and PECR-compliant, privacy-first analytics platform that does not use cookies, does not collect personal data, and does not track users across devices or distinct sites. All data is anonymized and aggregated.
3. Inquiries & Correspondence
If you initiate contact via our engagement forms or email, your name, organizational affiliation, and message are retained solely for the purpose of direct business correspondence, advisory consultation, or research collaboration. We never provide, monetize, or disclose your contact details to third parties.
4. External Links
Our research posts link to external sources and professional platforms like LinkedIn. We encourage you to review the independent privacy practices of any external sites you navigate to.
5. Inquiries & Data Rights
If you have questions regarding our privacy architecture, data handling, or wish to request the deletion of past correspondence, please contact:
