Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

GlyIQ Infrastructure operates glyiq.com and is responsible for the personal information described in this policy. You can reach us about anything in it athello@glyiq.com.

2. Information you send us

If you email us, apply to work with us, or submit a contact form, we receive the information you provide. This may include your name, email address, organisation, message, résumé, portfolio, and any other material you choose to send.

3. Analytics, Cookies and Privacy Preferences

We use cookies to ensure the basic functionality of this website, measure website traffic, and assess read-depth across technical research papers. Analytics and optional cookies run only after you grant explicit consent via our cookie preferences banner or modal.

• Google Analytics 4 (GA4): We utilize Google Analytics to analyze website traffic, understand audience engagement, and assess read-depth across technical research papers (tracking 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% reading milestones). Google Analytics is deployed with strict IP anonymization, restricted data processing, disabled advertising features (ad_storage: 'denied'), and Google Consent Mode v2. No personally identifiable information (PII) is sold or shared.
• Managing Your Preferences: You can change or withdraw your cookie choices at any time through the “Analytics preferences” link in the footer of any page. Withdrawing consent immediately halts data collection, switches Google Consent Mode to denied, and completely purges all Google Analytics cookies (_ga, _gid) from your browser.
• Contact & Grievances: For privacy inquiries or questions, contact us at hello@glyiq.com.

You can review and modify your choices at any time through Analytics preferences.

4. Cookies and browser storage

• Your analytics choice is saved in your browser’s local storage (glyiq_analytics_consent) so we remember your preference across pages and do not repeatedly prompt you.
• Google Analytics (GA4) sets first-party cookies (_ga, _ga_*) to distinguish unique visitors and measure research reading depth, only after you affirmatively allow analytics.
• Cloudflare may set strictly necessary cookies to protect the site from abuse, DDOS attacks, and automated traffic.

We do not use advertising, marketing, or cross-site tracking cookies.

5. Security and technical data

Our hosting and security providers may process IP addresses, request metadata, device information, and security signals to deliver the site, prevent abuse, and diagnose failures. The site runs on Cloudflare infrastructure and may use Cloudflare Turnstile on forms. Sentry receives technical error and performance reports. These include recorded page activity only when you have allowed it, as described in section 3.

6. How we use information, and why

• to respond to questions, applications, and press enquiries, because you asked us to or to take steps before working with you;
• to operate, secure, and fix the website, based on our legitimate interest in running a safe and reliable service;
• to understand how the site is used, only with your consent, which you can withdraw at any time; and
• to comply with law and protect our rights.

7. Service providers

We share information only as needed with providers that help us run the site and communicate, including Cloudflare, Google LLC (Google Analytics 4), and Resend. They process information under their own terms and privacy commitments. We do not sell personal information.

8. Retention

We keep information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including communication, security, record-keeping, and legal obligations. Retention periods vary by the type of information and service involved.

9. Your rights and choices

You may decline or withdraw optional analytics at any time. Under applicable privacy regulations, you also have the right to access information about your personal data, request correction or erasure, nominate another individual in the event of death or incapacity, and seek redressal for grievances.

To make a request or raise a grievance, email privacy@glyiq.com with “Privacy Request” in the subject line. We will respond within the time required by applicable law. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may complain directly to the Data Protection Board of India (DPBI) or, in the EU or UK, your local supervisory authority.

10. International processing

Our service providers may process information in countries other than your own. Where required, we use the safeguards made available by those providers and applicable law.

11. Children

This website is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18 without the consent of a parent or guardian.

12. Changes and contact
