Who we are

This website, archval.com, is operated by ARCHVAL (“ARCHVAL”, “we”, “us”). You can contact us about this notice at t.alex@archval.com or at 12682 Edgepark Cir, Strongsville, OH 44149, USA.

Information we collect

We collect information in two ways: information you give us, and information collected automatically when you use the site.

  • Contact form: your name, email address, phone number (optional) and the message you write. You provide this when you send the form on the Contact page.
  • Usage data: pages viewed, approximate location derived from your IP address, browser and device type, referring page, and how you interact with pages (clicks, scrolling, time on page). This is collected by the analytics and session-recording tools described below.
  • Technical data: your IP address and request details are processed by our hosting provider and by the bot-protection service on the contact form in order to deliver the site and keep the form free of spam.

How we use information

  • To respond to your inquiry and to follow up on a potential engagement.
  • To understand how the site is used and to improve its content, structure and performance.
  • To protect the contact form against automated abuse.
  • To keep the site secure and to diagnose technical problems.

We do not sell your personal information and we do not use it for third-party advertising.

What happens to contact form data

When you send the contact form, your name, email, phone number and message are stored in a Google Sheet that we control, and a notification containing the same details is posted to our internal Slack workspace. Both are used only so that the ARCHVAL team can read and answer your inquiry.

We keep inquiries for as long as needed to respond and to maintain a record of our business communications. You can ask us to delete your inquiry at any time using the contact details above.

Cookies, analytics and third-party tools

The site uses the following services. Each one may set cookies or similar identifiers in your browser.

  • Google Analytics 4 (Google LLC): measures visits and page use. It sets cookies such as _ga and _ga_* and processes your IP address and device information.
  • Microsoft Clarity (Microsoft Corporation): records session replays and heatmaps so we can see how pages are used. It sets cookies such as _clck and _clsk. Clarity masks the text you type into form fields; we do not send contact form contents to Clarity.
  • Cloudflare Turnstile (Cloudflare, Inc.): protects the contact form against bots. It may set a cookie and processes your IP address and browser signals to decide whether a request is automated.
  • Netlify, Inc.: hosts the site and keeps standard server logs, which include IP addresses, for security and operations.

These providers process data under their own privacy policies: Google (policies.google.com/privacy), Microsoft (privacy.microsoft.com), Cloudflare (cloudflare.com/privacypolicy) and Netlify (netlify.com/privacy).

Fonts are served from our own domain. The site does not load fonts, scripts or embedded content from social networks or advertising networks.

Access, correction and deletion

You can ask us what personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Write to t.alex@archval.com. We will respond within the time required by the law that applies to you. If you are in the EEA, the UK or Switzerland you may also have rights to restrict or object to processing and to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

Where data is processed

ARCHVAL is based in the United States and the service providers listed above process data in the United States and other countries. If you contact us from outside the United States, your information is transferred to and processed in the United States.

Children

This site is a business-to-business consulting site and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18.
