Privacy Policy
Last Updated: March 2026
STRATUM provides tools for the exploration geosciences. We believe in being transparent about how we collect, use, and protect your data. This policy is written in plain English because your privacy should not require a law degree to understand.
We do not sell your personal data. We only collect what we need to run the service, communicate with you, and improve the platform.
What data we collect
When you interact with STRATUM, we collect information you provide directly and information automatically logged by our systems.
- Account & Contact Information: When you sign up for early access, use our contact form, or create an account, we collect your name and email address.
- Usage Data: We log how you interact with the platform (e.g., searches performed, tools used). This helps us understand what features matter and identify performance bottlenecks.
- Technical Data: We collect standard web traffic information like IP addresses, browser types, and operating system data for security monitoring and platform performance.
How we use your data
We use your data solely to provide, secure, and improve STRATUM. This includes:
- Operating the platform and providing the services you request.
- Sending transactional emails (like waitlist confirmations or password resets).
- Responding to your support queries or contact form submissions.
- Analysing usage patterns to build a better product.
Third-party services
We use a small number of trusted third-party services to help operate STRATUM (such as cloud hosting providers and email delivery services). These providers only have access to the data necessary to perform their specific functions and are prohibited from using it for anything else. We never share your data with advertisers or data brokers.
Data retention
We keep your personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy or to comply with legal obligations. If you request account deletion, we will remove your personal data from our active systems, though some information may persist in secure backups for a limited time.
Your rights
You have full control over your data. You can request to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you.
- Correct any inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Delete your personal data from our systems.
