We collect information you provide directly, such as your name and email when you create an account or contact us, as well as content you submit to the platform. We also collect limited technical data (device, browser, and usage information) to operate and improve the service.
Your information is used to provide and personalize the HeritageArk experience, respond to inquiries, maintain security, and improve our cultural preservation tools. We do not sell your personal data.
Heritage content, oral histories, and cultural materials are handled with respect for the communities they originate from. Where possible, we follow community-defined access and attribution preferences.
We share data only with service providers that help us operate the platform, when required by law, or with your consent. These providers are bound by confidentiality obligations.
We apply industry-standard safeguards to protect your information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
