Privacy Policy

Theory Atlas does not directly collect personally identifiable information such as your name, email address, or payment details. You can browse the Site without providing any personal information.

Like most websites, our hosting infrastructure and third-party services may automatically log certain technical information when you visit the Site. This may include your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages visited, and the date and time of your visit. This data is used in aggregate to understand how the Site is used and to maintain its operation.

Technical and usage data collected through the Site is used solely to operate and improve Theory Atlas. This includes diagnosing technical issues, understanding how users navigate the Site, and improving the quality of content and features.

We do not sell, rent, or trade any information about your visit to third parties except as described in this policy (i.e., through advertising and analytics partners described below).

Theory Atlas displays advertisements served by third-party advertising networks, which may include Google AdSense or similar providers. These networks may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to collect information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements.

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your prior visits to Theory Atlas or other websites. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings. For more information about how Google uses data when you use its partners' sites, visit Google's privacy policy.

Theory Atlas does not control the data collection practices of its advertising partners. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any advertising networks that may serve ads on the Site.

Theory Atlas itself does not set first-party cookies for tracking or authentication purposes, as the Site does not support user accounts. However, third-party advertising and analytics services used on the Site may set cookies on your device as described in their own privacy policies.

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of third-party services (such as ad personalization) but will not affect your ability to browse Theory Atlas content.

Theory Atlas may use privacy-friendly analytics software — such as Plausible Analytics or a similar provider — to understand aggregate traffic patterns and improve the Site. Privacy-focused analytics tools are designed to be compliant with GDPR, CCPA, and similar regulations, and do not use cookies, do not collect personal data, and do not track individuals across sites.

Any analytics data collected is used only in aggregate form and cannot be used to identify individual visitors.

Because Theory Atlas does not collect personal data directly, there is no user data retained on our systems beyond what is automatically logged by our hosting infrastructure for security and operational purposes. Hosting infrastructure logs are typically retained for a limited period and then deleted automatically.

Data collected by third-party advertising and analytics partners is subject to their own retention policies.

Depending on where you are located, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data under laws such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in Europe or the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) in the United States. Because Theory Atlas does not collect personal data directly from users, most of these rights are addressed through the third-party services we use.

If you wish to exercise rights related to data collected by our advertising or analytics partners, please refer to those partners' privacy policies and opt-out mechanisms. If you have a concern about how Theory Atlas handles your data, please contact us and we will do our best to assist.

Theory Atlas is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information through the Site, please contact us so we can address the situation promptly.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. When we do, the “Last updated” date at the top of this page will be revised. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Your continued use of the Site after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.

If you have questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy, or about how your information is handled in connection with Theory Atlas, please contact us via the information available on the Site. We are committed to addressing privacy concerns in a transparent and timely manner.
