Privacy Policy

Introduction

Arcfield Systems designs software systems and AI-enabled platforms for organisations. This Privacy Policy describes the categories of personal information we may handle, why we use it, when it may be shared, and the choices available to individuals.

The current public website does not offer customer accounts, working online enquiry submission, payments, embedded social feeds, or an analytics provider. Some data practices described below apply only when a person contacts Arcfield directly or when an Arcfield service asks for the relevant information.

This policy does not represent a certification or a claim that Arcfield has completed every jurisdiction-specific compliance process.

Information We Collect

The information we collect depends on how a person or organisation interacts with Arcfield. We aim to collect information that is reasonably necessary for the relevant interaction or service.

How We Use Information

Depending on the interaction and the service involved, Arcfield may use personal information to:

• respond to enquiries and communicate about requested work;
• provide, administer, support, secure, and improve services that are actually made available;
• manage authorised users, organisations, projects, and business relationships;
• diagnose errors, prevent abuse, and maintain service reliability;
• meet contractual, record-keeping, safety, and lawful request obligations;
• develop products and workflows using appropriately limited information and human review; and
• send service or business updates where the recipient has requested them or where another valid basis applies, with available opt-out choices.

Data Storage and Security

Information may be stored in Arcfield-controlled systems or with service providers used for hosting, communication, collaboration, security, and business operations. Storage location depends on the service and provider in use at the time.

Arcfield intends to use reasonable administrative, technical, and organisational safeguards appropriate to the information and risk involved, including access controls, account protection, limited access, backups where appropriate, and review of service-provider arrangements. No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Data Sharing

Arcfield may share information only where reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose, including with:

• service providers supporting hosting, communications, security, storage, or professional operations;
• professional advisers such as legal, accounting, audit, or insurance providers where engaged;
• an organisation you represent, where your interaction concerns that organisation;
• public authorities or other parties where disclosure is required by a valid legal process or reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, and service integrity;
• a successor or participant in a genuine corporate restructuring, subject to appropriate confidentiality and lawful handling; or
• another party when you direct or authorise the disclosure.

Third-party Services

Arcfield's website links to external communication and social platforms. Those services operate under their own terms and privacy practices, and Arcfield does not control their independent processing.

Arcfield services may use third-party infrastructure and software providers where necessary to operate, secure, or support those services. A link to a third-party service does not make its privacy practices part of this policy.

User Rights

Depending on the applicable law and the circumstances, you may be able to ask whether Arcfield holds personal information about you and request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, or a portable copy. Where processing relies on consent, you may also be able to withdraw that consent for future processing.

Arcfield may need to verify identity and authority before acting on a request. Some information may need to be retained or withheld where a lawful exception, security need, contractual record, or competing right applies. You may also have the right to raise a concern with the relevant data-protection authority.

Cookies and Tracking

The current public website does not use analytics cookies, advertising trackers, or preference cookies. Essential technologies may be used by hosting or security infrastructure to deliver and protect the site. See the Cookie Policy for the current category-level explanation and browser controls.

Data Retention

Arcfield intends to keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including service delivery, relationship management, security, dispute handling, and applicable record-keeping obligations.

Retention periods vary according to the type of information, the service involved, and applicable legal or operational requirements. When information is no longer required, Arcfield may delete, anonymise, or securely isolate it as appropriate.

Children's Privacy

Arcfield's current public website and business services are not intentionally designed to collect personal information directly from children. Children should not submit personal information without the involvement of a parent, guardian, school, or other responsible adult where appropriate.

If Arcfield learns that personal information from a child was collected without appropriate authorisation, it will review the circumstances and take reasonable steps to restrict or delete the information where required.

Changes to This Policy

Arcfield may update this policy as its website, services, providers, or legal obligations change. Material updates will be published on this page with a revised date and, where appropriate, an additional notice.
