Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 19, 2025
Open Athena AI Foundation Inc. (“Open Athena,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the website at openathena.ai. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. Our website is used to publish news and updates, and to offer an optional email newsletter.
We aim to collect and process as little personal information as needed to operate the site.
1. Information We Collect
Information you provide
We collect personal information you voluntarily provide, including:
- Email address (e.g., when you sign up for our newsletter)
- Name (optional, if you include it in a form or communication)
If you contact us directly, we may also receive the information you include in that message.
Information collected automatically
When you visit our website, certain technical information may be collected automatically, such as:
- IP address
- Browser and device information
- Pages viewed and referring URLs
- Date and time of visits
- General location inferred from IP (e.g., city/region)
We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to understand aggregate usage of our site. This analytics service does not use cookies and does not track individual users across sites.
We may also retain standard server logs as part of our website hosting setup.
We do not intentionally collect information about children under 18.
2. How We Use Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Send newsletters or updates you request
- Respond to your messages or inquiries
- Maintain and improve the operation and security of our website
- Analyze aggregated site usage
- Comply with applicable laws
We do not sell your personal information, share it for advertising, or use it to build user profiles.
3. Service Providers (AWS, Cloudflare, and similar providers)
We use third-party service providers to operate our website, deliver newsletters, and understand aggregate usage. These providers may process limited information on our behalf, such as server logs or the email address you submit.
- Our website infrastructure is hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS).
- We use Cloudflare Web Analytics for high-level, non-cookie-based usage metrics.
- We may use other reputable providers offering similar hosting, analytics, or email-delivery services.
These service providers process information only to support our website and communications and may not use it for their own purposes.
4. Data Retention
We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy or as required by law.
You may request deletion of your personal information at any time (see Section 7).
5. International Visitors
Our website is operated in the United States. If you access the site from outside the U.S., your information may be processed in the U.S., where privacy laws may differ from those of your jurisdiction.
If you have questions about how we handle personal information, you may contact us at privacy@openathena.ai.
6. Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures to help protect personal information.
However, no internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
7. Your Choices and Rights
You may:
- Unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time by using the link in our emails
- Request access, correction, or deletion of your personal information by emailing privacy@openathena.ai
We will respond to your request within a reasonable timeframe.
8. Do-Not-Track Signals
Web browsers may send Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) signals. There is currently no standardized method for responding to these signals, so we do not act on them, and in addition our analytics provider does not track individual users.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top reflects the most recent version.
If changes are material, we may provide additional notice on our website.
