Privacy
Privacy-first public website
The AetherVortex Hub is built as a static public site with a lightweight architecture and no advertising-led product behavior.
Static site
Website data collection
This website is designed as a static-first public site. The site code does not create user accounts, set marketing cookies, run advertising trackers, or collect payment information.
Cloudflare Web Analytics is active for aggregate page-view and performance measurement. It does not use cookies or localStorage on this site, and AetherVortex does not use it to build persistent visitor profiles.
The site's first-party conversion collector counts clicks on the main action links (latest release, products, Google Play, Microsoft Store, GPT and email links), grouped into nine event types. It sends only the event name, current route, and page language to /api/conversion, where they are added to a UTC daily aggregate. The collector does not set cookies, use localStorage or sessionStorage, create a visitor ID, or store IP addresses, user agents, referrers, destination URLs, link text, or email addresses. Daily totals older than 90 days are deleted.
Basic technical request data may be processed by hosting, browser, network, or security infrastructure in the ordinary operation of a public website.

Product philosophy
AetherVortex products should remain lightweight, direct, and respectful of the user. Public product positioning should avoid intrusive advertising language, unnecessary tracking claims, and exploitative engagement patterns.
