Privacy Policy
Effective Date: 11.06.2026
Entity Responsible: Argon Incorporated LLC
1. Welcome
We value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how Argon Incorporated LLC collects, uses, stores, protects, and shares personal data in connection with the Argon Chat platform.
In simple terms — this document helps you understand what we collect, why we collect it, and how we keep it safe. Privacy should be clear and manageable, not hidden behind legal complexity.
2. Information We Collect
We collect limited categories of personal data to operate Argon Chat effectively.
Account Information
Email address, username, display name, avatar, password, and linked credentials through Argon’s OAuth.
Usage Information
Interactions within Argon Chat (joining groups, messaging), device info, IP address, browser type.
Optional Information
Profile details you choose to share — bio, linked services, and other personalizations.
Integration Data
When connecting to other Argon services, we may receive your email, avatar, and username for authentication.
Website Analytics
Aggregated, anonymous page-view and performance metrics collected via Cloudflare Web Analytics on our public websites (landing pages, docs, status).
Diagnostics & Product Analytics
Error reports, performance data, and product interaction metrics (such as which features and buttons are used) collected through our self-hosted Sentry across Argon products.
We do not collect sensitive categories of data (biometric, health, political beliefs) unless required by law.
About our website analytics: Cloudflare Web Analytics does not use cookies, does not collect personal data, and does not track users across sites. It only records anonymous, aggregated metrics such as page views, referrers, and page load times. No IP addresses or device fingerprints are stored. This tool is enabled on all Argon public websites.
About our diagnostics (Sentry): We operate a self-hosted Sentry instance across all Argon products to monitor errors and understand how the products are used — including interactions such as clicks and navigation. On our public websites this telemetry is anonymous: we do not record who performed an action. When you are signed in to an Argon product, these diagnostic and usage events are associated with your account, so we can investigate issues affecting you and improve the features you actually use. Because Sentry is self-hosted, this data stays within Argon’s own infrastructure and is never sold or shared with advertisers.
3. How We Use Your Information
Your information is used to ensure Argon Chat functions properly and securely:
- Provide and operate — ensuring you can log in, communicate, and use platform features
- Personalize — tailoring interface and notifications to your preferences
- Communicate — sending service updates, policy changes, or account notices
- Promote Argon services — displaying notices about our own features within the platform
- Safety and compliance — enforcing community standards and fulfilling legal obligations
We do not run third-party targeted ads. We do not share your data with external advertising networks.
4. GDPR Compliance
Argon Incorporated LLC is fully aligned with the GDPR and processes personal data in accordance with its principles of transparency, fairness, and accountability.
Lawful Basis (Art. 6 GDPR)
Consent, contract performance, legal obligations, legitimate interests, or protection of vital interests.
Data Minimization & Purpose Limitation
We collect only the minimum data required and use it strictly for the stated purposes.
User Rights (EEA)
Access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and objection to processing.
Data Protection Officer
Argon maintains an internal DPO responsible for GDPR compliance and data protection inquiries.
International Transfers
For transfers outside the EEA, we apply Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or other approved mechanisms.
5. User-Generated Content
You own your content. We do not use or repurpose user-generated content for our own projects, commercial purposes, or promotional materials.
Our handling of UGC is limited to storing, transmitting, or displaying it so that the Service can function properly. Messages are processed to deliver them securely to recipients. We never extract or analyze content for advertising or unrelated analytics.
6. How We Disclose Information
We only share personal data when it is necessary and lawful:
- With your consent — for integrations or linked services you authorize
- With Argon services — for unified authentication across the Argon ecosystem
- For legal compliance — when required by law or valid legal process
- For security — to investigate Terms violations or protect users and the platform
We do not sell, rent, or trade personal data under any circumstances.
7. Data Retention
We retain your personal data only as long as necessary to provide the Service, comply with legal obligations, or resolve disputes.
When you request account deletion, we will remove or anonymize your personal information, except where retention is legally required (e.g., fraud prevention).
8. Data Protection & Security
Protecting your information is a core operational priority.
Encryption & Access Control
Secure storage using encryption at rest and strict access policies.
Infrastructure Safeguards
Designed to prevent unauthorized access, leaks, or breaches.
Regular Audits
Security audits, monitoring, and updates to address potential risks.
While no system can be fully secure, Argon is committed to continuous improvement of its security capabilities.
9. Your Rights and Controls
Privacy is built on control. You have the following rights:
Access & Portability
Request a copy of your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
Correction
Update inaccurate or incomplete information.
Deletion
Request deletion of personal data, except minimal info required for legal purposes.
Privacy Controls
Manage visibility and hide profile details from other users.
Withdraw Consent
Revoke optional permissions at any time.
Requests can be made through account settings or by contacting us directly.
10. Third-Party Integrations
Argon Chat may offer integrations through our secure OAuth framework. These may access your email, avatar, display name, and username solely for authentication.
Our public websites use Cloudflare Web Analytics, a privacy-first analytics service provided by Cloudflare, Inc. It collects only anonymous, aggregated data (page views, referrers, performance metrics) without cookies, personal identifiers, or cross-site tracking. Cloudflare processes this data under its own Privacy Policy.
We do not share personal data with unrelated third-party advertising networks or data brokers.
11. International Data Transfers
If you access Argon Chat from outside the jurisdiction where our servers are located, your data may be transferred across borders. We ensure that such transfers are protected with industry-standard legal safeguards.
Where applicable, we use Standard Contractual Clauses to maintain compliance with international data protection laws.
12. Children’s Privacy
Argon Chat is not intended for children under the minimum age required by local law (typically 13). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children below this age.
If a parent or guardian believes their child has provided personal data, they should contact us for prompt removal.
13. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. When material changes occur, we will provide clear notice via in-app message or email. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
