Carpathian Privacy Policy

The Carpathian website and all related services are products of Carpathian, LLC (“Carpathian,” “we,” or “us”). We take your privacy very seriously. How we handle information we learn about you depends upon what you do when using the website located at www.carpathian.ai (“Site”) or the various technology solutions and services offered through the Site (collectively, the “Services”). We strive to ensure that all choices you (“you,” “user,” or “users”) make while using our Services are as transparent as possible, and we hold the security of your personal information as a top priority. This policy (“Privacy Policy”) covers personally identifiable information and other data that you provide us through your use of our Services or websites. Any information provided outside of these terms is not covered by this Privacy Policy. This document explains what information is collected, how that information is used and shared, how the information is protected, and how you can control your privacy while using our Services. We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time and will post updates on our website.

Information Carpathian Collects

In administering the Services, Carpathian may collect both Personal Information and non-Personal Information. Personal Information is data that can be directly or indirectly linked back to you (“Personal Information”). Non-Personal Information is data that, on its own, does not identify an individual.

Information Affirmatively Provided By Users

You may provide Personal Information such as your name, email address, username, mailing address, phone number, profile photos, and billing information when you register for or use our Services.

Information Automatically Collected

Like many modern websites, we also collect information automatically as you navigate our Services. This may include details from your browser or mobile device such as the time and date of your access, your IP address, device information, cookies, and the pages you view. This data helps us analyze trends, manage our Services, track navigation, deliver relevant content and advertisements, and gather aggregate demographic information. Note that while cookies can uniquely identify your device, they are not directly linked to Personal Information unless you voluntarily provide it.

Cookies: Cookies are small data files that may be stored on your device and typically contain an anonymous unique identifier. They do not personally identify you but help us enhance security, customize content, store login details, and improve the overall functionality of our Services. You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings; however, disabling cookies may affect your experience.

Third Party Analytics: We use third-party analytics providers (such as Google Analytics) to understand how our Services are used. These providers may use cookies to collect information such as how frequently users visit our Site, which pages they view, and what sites they visited before ours. The data collected is used solely to improve our Services.

Domain Parking Service Data Collection

Carpathian operates a domain parking service that displays parked domain pages. When you visit a parked domain, we collect minimal technical information solely for the purpose of distinguishing between legitimate visitors and automated bots.

What We Collect from Parked Domains

For each visit to a parked domain, we temporarily collect:

• IP Address: To identify the general geographic location and detect bot traffic
• User Agent: To identify the browser/device type and detect automated requests
• Referrer Information: To understand how visitors found the domain
• Timestamp: To track when the visit occurred

How We Process Parking Data

Our parking service processes this data as follows:

1. Bot Detection: We analyze the technical data to determine if the visitor is a real person or an automated bot
2. Data Anonymization: After bot detection, we immediately delete all personal identifiers (IP addresses, user agents, etc.)
3. Aggregate Statistics: We retain only anonymous visit counts - no personal data is stored long-term
4. No Third-Party Sharing: Raw visitor data is never shared with advertisers or other third parties

Data Retention for Parking Service

Personal data collected from parked domains is automatically deleted within 24-48 hours after bot detection processing. Only anonymized aggregate statistics (total visit counts) are retained for service operation and domain owner reporting.

How We Use Your Data

The information you provide helps us to:

• Create and manage your Carpathian account
• Contact you for customer service and support
• Communicate important changes or updates to our Services
• Send administrative notices, offers, and communications we believe may be of interest
• Operate, improve, and maintain our products and services, including analyzing user behavior
• Monitor web traffic and manage site navigation
• Tailor and optimize advertising
• Implement spam protection measures
• Provide anonymous traffic statistics to domain owners (parking service only)

Third-Party Advertising on Parking Pages

Our domain parking service displays advertisements from third-party advertising networks. These advertisers operate independently and may collect their own data about visitors to parked domains through cookies, tracking pixels, and other technologies.

Important Disclaimers

• No Control: Carpathian has no control over third-party advertisers' data collection practices
• Independent Collection: Advertisers may collect data directly from your browser or device
• Separate Policies: Each advertising network has its own privacy policy and data handling practices
• No Data Sharing: We do not share your personal data with advertisers - they collect their own data
• User Choice: Visitors to parking pages can choose to leave the site rather than view advertisements

Your Options: If you do not wish to be subject to third-party advertising data collection, we recommend leaving parking pages immediately when prompted or using ad-blocking software. Carpathian is not responsible for advertisers' data collection or privacy practices.

How We May Share Your Information

Sharing of Personal Information

How We Protect Your Data

Please note that some administrative or service-related messages may still be sent regardless of your preferences.

We may retain certain data as required by law or for legitimate business purposes, even if you request its deletion. It may not be possible to remove all traces of your information from our backup systems.
