This policy explains our practices regarding personal and account-related information collected through AGRAVIUM websites, registration, authentication, community participation, optional support, testing programs, and related platform services.

4. Testing interest
If you indicate interest in testing, that selection is used to understand community preferences and future testing outreach. Selecting testing interest does not guarantee Alpha Tester status, special access, employment, compensation, Pioneer status, or any other benefit.
5. Service providers
AGRAVIUM uses third-party infrastructure and service providers necessary to operate the platform. These may include providers in categories such as:
- Hosting and cloud infrastructure
- Authentication and database infrastructure
- Email delivery for account verification and service messages
- Payment processing, including Stripe when support payments are enabled
- Error monitoring and security-related services where configured for the environment
These providers process information on our behalf according to their roles and applicable agreements, and only as needed to provide their services to AGRAVIUM.
6. Information sharing
AGRAVIUM does not sell your personal information.
We may share information:
- With service providers when necessary to operate, secure, and support the platform
- When required by applicable law or valid legal process
- To investigate suspected fraud, abuse, or security incidents affecting AGRAVIUM or users
- To protect the rights, safety, and integrity of AGRAVIUM, users, or others
7. Data security
AGRAVIUM uses reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect information, including authenticated access controls, server-side credential handling, and database security practices such as row-level access controls for user-owned data. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Data retention
We may retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to operate AGRAVIUM, maintain account and security history, satisfy legitimate operational requirements, resolve disputes, and comply with applicable legal obligations. Retention periods may vary based on the type of information and how it is used.
