Գաղտնիության քաղաքականություն

1. Who we are

This policy applies to hrantmatevossian.org (the “Site”), the official website of the Hrant Matevossian Foundation and Hrant Matevossian. The Site presents literary works, archival materials, events, gallery content, and information about the Foundation.

2. Information we collect

You can browse the public Site without creating an account. When you visit, our hosting infrastructure and Google Analytics may process technical and usage data such as pages viewed, referring pages, approximate location, browser and device type, language, screen information, session activity, and timestamps. Standard server logs may also include an IP address and user-agent information for security, diagnostics, and reliable operation.

If you contact us, we process the information you choose to provide, such as your name, email address, telephone number, and message, so that we can respond.

3. Google Analytics and cookies

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and use the Site, measure audience and content performance, diagnose usability issues, and improve the Site. Google Analytics may use first-party cookies, including the _ga cookie, and a pseudonymous client identifier to distinguish visits and sessions. Google may process device/browser information, on-site activity, approximate geolocation, and an IP address during collection; Google states that raw IP addresses are not logged or stored in Google Analytics.

Where applicable law requires consent, analytics storage is used only after your choice is obtained. You can reject or withdraw analytics consent through the Site’s consent controls, delete cookies in your browser, block cookies in browser settings, or use Google’s Analytics opt-out browser add-on. Rejecting analytics cookies does not prevent access to the Site’s public content.

4. Why we use information

• to provide, maintain, secure, and troubleshoot the Site;
• to understand aggregate traffic and improve content and navigation;
• to respond to messages and requests;
• to protect our rights, visitors, and systems; and
• to comply with applicable legal obligations.

5. Service providers and international processing

We use service providers that support hosting, security, maintenance, and analytics. Google acts as a service provider for Google Analytics and processes analytics data under its terms and privacy safeguards. Depending on where you are located, providers may process information in other countries and use legally recognized transfer safeguards where required. We do not sell personal information.

6. Retention and security

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes above, including the retention period configured in Google Analytics, or as required by law. We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards, but no internet service can guarantee absolute security.

7. Your choices and rights

Depending on applicable law, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, or portability of personal information, and to withdraw consent without affecting earlier lawful processing. To make a request, contact us using the details below. We may need to verify your request before acting.

8. External links and children

The Site may link to third-party websites whose privacy practices we do not control. The Site is intended for a general audience and we do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy to reflect changes to the Site, our practices, or legal requirements. The date above identifies the latest revision. Material changes will be communicated on the Site when appropriate.
