Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how the Code Gaia Archive (codegaia.deniardente.com), operated by Deni ArDente, collects and uses information. It applies specifically to this subdomain. For the main author's site, please see the main Privacy Policy.

1. What this archive is

The Code Gaia Archive is a companion to the Code Gaia novel cycle by Deni ArDente. It contains research files, recorded evidence, scientific references, and supplementary materials that extend the world of the novels into documented reality.

The archive includes free public content and content unlocked through reading the published novels (each book unlocks a section of the archive).

2. What we collect

The archive collects only minimal information:

• Email address — when you subscribe to archive updates or request access to a locked section after reading a book.
• Access state — your unlocked sections are stored locally in your browser (using localStorage). This data does not leave your device.
• Basic technical data — anonymous browser, device, and approximate location for the purpose of improving the archive.

We do not collect: your full name, payment information, or any sensitive personal data on this subdomain.

3. How we use your email

Your email address is used only to:

• Notify you when new files are added to the archive.
• Send occasional updates related to the Code Gaia universe — new chapters, releases, recorded evidence.
• Confirm access to specific archive sections when applicable.

We use MailerLite to manage the mailing list. We do not sell, rent, or share your email with third parties.

4. Local storage

The archive uses browser localStorage to remember which sections you have unlocked, your preferences (for example, atmospheric audio settings), and the position of audio playback between pages. This information is stored only on your device. Clearing your browser data will reset these preferences.

5. Your rights

You have the right to:

• Unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email.
• Request access to data we hold about you.
• Request correction or deletion of your data.

Contact contact@deniardente.com for any data requests.

6. Cookies

This archive uses minimal cookies — only what is necessary for functionality (form submissions, audio state, etc.). No tracking cookies, no advertising cookies, no behavioral profiling.

7. External content

The archive references and links to external scientific sources, papers, news, and recordings. Following such links takes you to third-party sites with their own policies.

8. Disclaimer on archive content

The Code Gaia Archive is part of a literary work. While many files reference real scientific phenomena, documents, and recordings, the archive itself is curated within the frame of the Code Gaia narrative. The archive is not a substitute for primary scientific sources. Always consult original references and qualified experts for matters of science, health, or safety.

9. Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date above reflects changes.
