Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 15 August 2026

Welcome to Auronix Space ("the Project"). The Project respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how the Project collects, uses, and safeguards your data when you visit the website and use its hosted tools.

1. Information Collected

The Project believes in data minimization. It only collects the absolute minimum information required to keep its services running safely:

  • Voluntary Information: If you use the contact form, the Project collects your name, email address, and the contents of your message so it can respond to you.
  • Donation Information: When you donate, payments are processed externally by regulated South African gateways (Yoco, Payfast, or PayShap). The Project does not see, store, or collect your credit card numbers or banking credentials.
  • Automated Infrastructure Data: The website is hosted using GitHub Pages and Cloudflare. These platforms automatically collect basic technical logs (such as your IP address, browser type, and device type) to protect the site from cyberattacks and ensure fast loading speeds.

2. How Your Data Is Used

The collected information is used strictly to:

  • Respond to your support requests or tool suggestions.
  • Maintain the security, integrity, and uptime of the ecosystem.
  • The Project never sells, rents, or trades your personal data with third-party advertisers.

3. Cookies and Tracking

The Project does not use tracking cookies, analytics pixels, or targeted advertising scripts. Cloudflare may place essential security cookies on your device solely to identify malicious traffic and prevent DDoS attacks. These cookies do not track your browsing habits across the internet.

4. Legal Compliance (POPIA & GDPR)

  • South African Users (POPIA): Your information is processed in accordance with the Protection of Personal Information Act. By contacting the Project or utilizing its tools, you consent to the processing of data necessary for those operations.
  • International Users (GDPR): If you access the site from the EU, you have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of any personal data you have voluntarily submitted.

5. Third-Party Links and Open Source

The website contains links to external platforms, specifically the official GitHub repositories and payment processors. The Project is not responsible for the privacy practices of external sites. You are encouraged to review the privacy policies of GitHub, Yoco, and Payfast when navigating to their platforms.

6. Children's Privacy

While the founder of this project is a student, the tools are intended for general audiences. The Project does not knowingly collect personal data from children under the age of 13 without parental consent.
