Privacy Policy

Effective date: April 6, 2026 · civickernel.com

This Privacy Policy explains how Civic Kernel ("we", "us", or "our"), incubated by Above Bits LLC, collects, uses, and protects information when you visit civickernel.com (the "Site"). We keep this simple — this is a marketing website, not a SaaS product. We do not sell your data.

1. What we collect

We collect only what you voluntarily provide:

• Contact information, such as your email address, if you submit the demo request form on our Site.
• Your name and message, if you contact us directly by email.

We do not collect payment information, government credentials, or any sensitive personal data through this Site.

2. How we use it

We use the information you provide only to:

• Respond to your demo request or inquiry
• Schedule a follow-up call or send relevant information about Civic Kernel
• Occasionally send product updates, if you have opted in

We do not use your information for advertising, profiling, or automated decision-making.

3. Cookies and analytics

Our Site may use standard analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to understand how visitors use the Site — pages visited, time on site, and general location data. This data is aggregated and anonymous.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time. We do not use advertising cookies or cross-site tracking.

4. Who we share data with

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share it only with:

• Service providers who help us operate the Site (e.g., email tools, hosting), bound by confidentiality
• Law enforcement or legal authorities, if required by law

We do not share your data with any third-party marketers or data brokers.

5. Data retention

We retain your contact information only as long as needed to respond to your inquiry or maintain an active relationship. If you ask us to delete your data, we will do so promptly.

6. Your rights

You have the right to:

• Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction or deletion of your data
• Opt out of any communications at any time

To exercise any of these rights, email us at: alex@abovebits.com

7. Data security

We take reasonable technical measures to protect your information. However, no method of internet transmission is 100% secure. We encourage you to contact us using encrypted email if you are sharing sensitive information.

8. Children's privacy

This Site is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the effective date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
