Privacy Policy

Last Updated: April 14, 2026

1. Overview

This Privacy Policy describes how HydraNova Labs ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and handles information when you visit our website ("Site"). We are committed to being transparent about our data practices.

This Site is an informational website. We do not offer user accounts, membership portals, or e-commerce functionality. Our data collection is therefore limited in scope, as described below.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Automatically Collected Data

When you visit our Site, certain technical information is collected automatically through our hosting infrastructure and analytics services:

Internet Protocol (IP) address
Browser type and version
Operating system
Referring URL and pages visited on this Site
Date and time of visit
Approximate geographic location (derived from IP address)

2.2 Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our Site. Google Analytics collects data including pages viewed, time spent on the Site, and general usage patterns. Google Analytics uses cookies — small text files stored on your device — to collect this information. The data is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers that may be located outside your country of residence.

Google's use of this data is governed by Google's Privacy Policy. You may opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

2.3 Google Fonts

Our Site uses Google Fonts, a web font service provided by Google LLC. When you visit our Site, your browser makes a request to Google's servers to load these fonts. This request transmits your IP address and browser information to Google. We do not control this data transfer. Google's handling of this data is governed by Google's Privacy Policy.

2.4 Netlify Hosting Analytics

Our Site is hosted on Netlify. Netlify collects server-side analytics from web server logs, including IP addresses, page requests, and response data. This is processed at the infrastructure level and does not involve cookies or client-side tracking scripts. For more information, see Netlify's Privacy Policy.

2.5 Email Communications

Our Site provides an email address for visitors to contact us. If you send us an email, we will receive your email address and any personal information you include in your message. We use this information solely to respond to your inquiry and do not add you to any mailing list without your explicit consent.

3. How We Use Information

We use the information described above for the following purposes:

To monitor and maintain the security and performance of our Site
To understand how visitors use our Site and to improve its content
To respond to inquiries sent to us via email
To comply with applicable legal obligations

4. Cookies

Our Site itself does not set first-party cookies. However, Google Analytics sets cookies on your device to support its analytics functionality. These are third-party cookies governed by Google's policies.

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of some third-party services on this Site. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies or delete existing cookies via their settings menu.

5. Data Sharing and Third Parties

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share data in the following limited circumstances:

With Google LLC, as described above in connection with Google Analytics and Google Fonts
With Netlify Inc., as our hosting provider, which processes server log data
When required by law, regulation, or valid legal process
To protect the rights, property, or safety of HydraNova Labs, our users, or the public

6. Information for Visitors in the European Economic Area (EEA)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, this section applies to you in addition to the rest of this Privacy Policy.

6.1 Legal Basis for Processing

We rely on the following legal bases to process personal data under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):

Legitimate Interests (Article 6(1)(f)): We process server log and analytics data to maintain the security of our Site and understand usage patterns. We have assessed that this processing is proportionate and does not override your privacy interests given the limited nature of the data collected.
Consent (Article 6(1)(a)): Where required, we rely on your consent for cookie-based tracking via Google Analytics. You may withdraw consent at any time by opting out via the Google Analytics Opt-out Add-on or by adjusting your browser's cookie settings.

6.2 International Data Transfers

Google Analytics and Google Fonts involve transferring data to Google LLC, which is based in the United States. Google relies on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission to safeguard such transfers. You can find more information at Google's Privacy Policy.
