This Privacy Policy explains how SmallCap Atlas ("we", "us") collects, uses and discloses personal information when you use our website.

1) What we collect

Account information

• Email address (required for sign-in / access to notes).

Technical and usage information

• Like most websites, our hosting and security systems may record limited technical information when you access the site, such as IP address, device/browser type, pages requested, and timestamps (typically via server/security logs).

Information you choose to provide

• If you contact us, we may collect your name (if provided), email address, and the contents of your message.

2) How we use information

We use personal information to:

• provide access to the website and gated content;
• administer and secure accounts (including preventing misuse);
• operate, maintain, and improve the website; and
• respond to enquiries.

3) Service providers and overseas processing

We use third-party service providers to host and operate the website (currently Vercel). These providers may process personal information on our behalf to deliver their services.

Our service providers may store or process information outside Australia.

4) Analytics and cookies

We do not run third-party advertising cookies on this website.

We may enable privacy-focused website analytics in future (for example, Umami or similar) to understand site performance and usage. If enabled, we will update this Privacy Policy to describe what data is collected and how you can manage any choices available.

5) Access, correction, and deletion

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion (or de-identification) of your personal information by contacting us at admin@smallcaptatlas.com.

We may need to verify your identity before processing your request (for example, by requiring the request to be sent from the email address used to sign in).

6) Data retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes described above, unless we are required or permitted by law to retain it longer (for example, for security, fraud prevention, or dispute handling).

7) Security

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss, and unauthorised access, modification, or disclosure.

8) Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new “Last updated” date.
