Privacy Policy

PRIVACY IS POWER.

We do not trade in surveillance capitalism.
We do not harvest. We do not profile. We do not pretend.

ARCHFIEND® collects only what we need — and nothing more.
Your data is not a product.
Your presence in our system is respected, encrypted, and firewalled.

This is not a disguised loyalty scheme.
This is a minimalist architecture of trust.

WHAT WE COLLECT

When you engage with ARCHFIEND®, we may collect:

  • Name & email address (for account creation + correspondence)

  • Shipping + billing address (for fulfillment only)

  • Payment info (processed via encrypted third-party gateways; we never store full card data)

  • Device + browser type (for UX optimization, not profiling)

  • Session behavior (anonymized analytics via privacy-forward platforms)

We do not collect:

  • Biometric data

  • Location tracking

  • Behavioral marketing psychometrics

  • Purchase prediction algorithms

  • Dark pattern triggers

We reject the commercialization of your digital self.
Consent is active, not assumed.

COOKIES & TRACKING

We use minimal, strictly necessary cookies.
No ad trackers. No retargeting. No invisible scripts from data brokers.

You can manage preferences anytime via our Cookie Preferences →.
Or block them altogether. We respect browser-level controls.

EMAIL & COMMUNICATION

We do not flood inboxes.
We do not auto-subscribe.
You only receive communications you explicitly opt into — like:

  • Capsule drop alerts

  • Theoretical essays / Journal dispatches

  • Fiend Circle access notifications

Unsubscribe anytime. Instantly. Without games.

THIRD PARTIES

We only share data with third parties required to complete your transaction.
These include:

  • Secure payment processors

  • Fulfillment partners (for delivery)

  • Email communication tools (for opted-in contact only)

No data is sold.
No data is shared for ad targeting.
No data is licensed to “partners.”

DATA RIGHTS

You have the right to:

  • Access your stored data

  • Edit or correct personal info

  • Request complete deletion

  • Withdraw consent

  • Export your data in readable format

To initiate:
📧 privacy@archfiend.systems

We do not hide behind forms.
You write. We act.

DATA STORAGE & SECURITY

Our system is hosted on secure, privacy-respecting infrastructure.
All data is encrypted in transit and at rest.
Access is strictly limited to internal roles under signed NDA.

Your data is not a liability.
It’s a responsibility — one we uphold.

LEGAL COMPLIANCE

We comply fully with:

  • GDPR (Europe)

  • CCPA (California)

  • PIPEDA (Canada)

  • Global privacy frameworks aligned with digital sovereignty

We aim to exceed the minimum, not coast by the legal floor.

THIS IS NOT “WE VALUE YOUR PRIVACY.”

This is:
We don’t violate it. Full stop.

No fine print. No manipulation. No erosion of consent masked as convenience.
Privacy is not a feature.
It’s a boundary. And we do not cross it.
