We do not process any sensitive information. 
All personal information must be true, complete, and accurate, and you must notify us of any changes.

What we don’t collect:

  • Sensitive information (we’re too high up and too under-caffeinated to process that responsibly).
  • We do not collect your biometric scans
  • your shoe size, or your children from kindergartens or elementary schools. (Please don’t forget to pick them up, we’re good, but we’re not that kind of service providers).

2. How Do We Process Your Information?

To provide, improve, and manage our Services, communicate with you (not in Morse code unless requested), prevent fraud, and comply with laws. 

  • To create and manage user accounts

  • We DO NOT use your data for dark arts, mind control, or selling it to interdimensional ad agencies.

3. Legal Bases for Processing

We only process your information when we have a valid legal basis, such as:

  • Your consent
  • Compliance with laws
  • Contractual obligations
  • Legitimate business interests

  • Business transactions
  • Compliance with subpoenas or legal obligations
  • Journalistic or literary purposes
  • Publicly available information

4. When and With Whom Do We Share Your Information?

Business Transfers, In the event of mergers, sales, or acquisitions - If someone ever tries to buy Altihut
(unlikely, as it runs on sun, goodwill, and the founders’ overworked kidneys, also the altitude and absurd logistics; If you know such crazy investors, lets speak), your data might come with the deal, but we’ll keep it safe and warm.

Otherwise, we don’t share it unless legally required, or we’re really, really threatened by the deep state or Chuck Norris.
(And in that case… well, let’s be honest, no firewall can withstand a roundhouse kick.)

5. How Long Do We Keep Your Information?

We retain information as long as necessary for the purposes outlined in this policy, unless a longer retention is required by law or a really persistent accountant. When no longer needed, we will delete or anonymize your data

6. How Do We Keep Your Information Safe?

We use technical and organizational measures to secure your information. Firewalls, encryption, 2FA passwords, no voodoo, rituals, or spells involved (except the “no rain tomorrow” chant, which hasn’t worked yet).

However, no system is 100% secure, so we encourage using secure environments when accessing our Services. We do not use voodoo and any other non-tech and nonconventional ways to secure your data.

7. Your Privacy Rights

In certain regions (EEA, UK, Canada), you have rights to access, correct, or delete your personal information, object to processing, and request portability.

In certain regions: EEA, UK, Canada, or certain parts of the known universe, you have rights to access, correct, or delete your personal information, object to processing, and request portability, or contact your local data protection authority: Link.

If you're from the outside our planet and Galaxy: apply to the intergalactic bureaucratic Council on Beetelgeuse V, Horizontal building -42, Ground Floor, look for the door with a sign: 
“Beware of the sociopathic dog. He bites. Also birdwatches.”

8. Account Information

You may update or terminate your account at any time by logging into your account settings or contacting us. Some information may be retained to comply with legal obligations or enforce our terms.

9. Do-Not-Track (DNT)

Currently, we don’t respond to DNT signals, because the global internet still hasn’t agreed on what they mean. We’re following that with mild amusement and will update things if a standard is adopted.

10. Changes to the Polic

If anything changes, we’ll update this page. Continuing to use our Services means you accept the updated version. If it’s major, we’ll try to let you know, carrier pigeon optional.

11. Unshakable Principles (With No Room for Negotiation or Nonsense, read it as it’s important)

We align ourselves with centre-right values rooted in personal freedom, responsibility, and the rule of law.
We believe all individuals deserve equal dignity, regardless of race, religion, orientation, or taste in biscuits (except those who think brown and hot water counts as tea).

We beleive that as hard as we work, as lucky we get; so we work hard like lunatics with deadlines, to be lucky.

Our compass points West: we are unwavering in our commitment to Georgia’s European and Euro-Atlantic future, as enshrined in Article 78 of our Constitution. It’s not just aspiration, it is our constitutional direction of travel. No left or right or reverse, only forward to it.

Non-Diplomatic closer: russia is an occupying and malign force. Its presence on Georgian soil is not merely an affront to international law, but a direct assault on the values of freedom, sovereignty, and self-determination.

Let us be absolutely clear: this is not a grey area, nor a matter of interpretation. It is occupation, and it is wrong. To pretend otherwise is to indulge in dangerous fiction. We do not. This is an unfortunate reality, plainly visible on the map, painfully evident on the ground, and, frankly, recognisable even from galaxies far, far away, confirmed by the Jedi Council, galactic quadrant 3.

As for feudalism and slavery, we consider them not just outdated, but thoroughly disgraceful, whether they occurred in the Dark Medieval times, yesterday, or are being repackaged in modern form. No crown, or no whip, no Excel sheet justifies oppression, subjugation of others.

We stand with Ukraine 🇺🇦 in its fight for freedom! Dignity, and the right to exist without fear on its own land.
Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the Heroes! 
Freedom matters!
