Privacy policy
This policy explains what personal data we process when you visit kylix.ai or write to us, why we do so, who helps us, how long we keep the data and what rights you have.
Who is responsible
Kylix is a private, non-commercial research project. The controller is Maciej Gidlewicz, the private individual who runs it. You can reach us about any privacy matter at info@kylix.ai.
What we process, and why
- Emails you send us. This website has no form and stores nothing that you type. The contact buttons only open your own email program with a subject filled in. If you then send us an email, we process your email address, your name if you give it, and whatever you tell us. We use them to read and answer your message and, where you ask about it, to discuss a research collaboration or access to test hardware. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in answering enquiries addressed to us (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) and, where you ask about a possible contract, steps taken at your request before entering into one (Article 6(1)(b)). Writing to us is voluntary, but we cannot reply without your address.
- Technical data. Our hosting provider, Google, processes technical data such as your IP address, the time of the request, the page requested and your browser type when you load a page, to deliver the site and keep it secure. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in running a secure and available website.
We do not use your data for advertising, we do not sell it and we do not make automated decisions about you.
Cookies and tracking
This website sets no cookies, runs no scripts, uses no analytics or tracking tools and loads no third-party content or fonts. For that reason it shows no cookie banner.
The page links to a few other websites, such as GitHub and the sources of the figures it quotes. Nothing from them loads until you follow a link, and the links are set up so that your browser does not tell those sites which page you came from. Once you are there, their own privacy policies apply.
Who processes data for us
- Google hosts this website (Firebase Hosting) and provides our email service (Google Workspace), which receives the emails you send us.
Google acts on our instructions under data processing terms. Google is a United States company, and data may be processed or accessed outside the European Union. Where data is transferred outside the EU or EEA, we rely on the safeguards the GDPR requires for such transfers, for example standard contractual clauses or the EU–US Data Privacy Framework. You can ask us for details.
How long we keep it
Emails are kept while we are in contact with you and for up to 24 months after our last exchange, unless a legal obligation or an ongoing contract requires us to keep them longer. We delete them sooner if you ask us to and nothing requires us to keep them.
Your rights
You can ask us for access to your data, for correction or deletion, for restriction of processing and for a portable copy. You can object at any time to processing that rests on our legitimate interest. Write to info@kylix.ai; we will answer within one month. You also have the right to complain to the data protection authority in the EU member state where you live or work or where you believe your rights were infringed.
Security
The site is served over HTTPS only. Access to our email is limited to the people who need it and protected by multi-factor authentication.
Changes
If we change this policy, we will update the date at the top of this page.
