1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy describes how the Ankhk Project (“Ankhk Project”, “we”, “our” or “us”) collects, uses, retains and shares "Personal Information" through our website
at www.ankhk.com (the “Website”), including information collected through other corresponding sites when providing us with specialized services. The protection of the
data of our registered members as well as our visitors is very important to us.
Commonly defined as "Personal Information", is any information about an individual that may be directly identifiable, as well as technical information that may be collected
automatically. Information about business contacts and the like, or even anonymized, is not considered "Personal Information". Therefore, in this Privacy Policy,
"Personal Information" means information about an identifiable individual, such as a first and last name, and your email address, however, it does not include (to the
extent permitted by law) publicly available information.
Ankhk Project reserves the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time, in particular, to reflect changes in the conditions of access to information that may affect
our project activities, by changes in technology, changes in relevant laws and requirements, and requirements and changes to our Website's system features. If we make
material changes to this Privacy Policy, we may notify our members by email or other reasonable means, including by posting notices on our Website.
If you object to any new version, you must stop visiting our Website and/or close your membership account (if you have one). If you continue to use our Website after
receiving such notice, you will be deemed to have acknowledged our Privacy Policy. If you are already an effective and registered member (with your own login and
individual password), to terminate your participation as a member, you must send an email informing your request to
[email protected], as provided in topic (10) of this Privacy Policy.
2. Who we are and what we do
The Ankhk Project operates the Website www.ankhk.com and is a Private Brazilian and Canadian Project, based in Brazil, in the city of Rio de Janeiro, making this project a collaborative effort.
In this project presented here on the Internet (Website), we describe our most recent
Private Research and its results, reserving the right to express our limitations of access to the general public (“Visitors”), as well as our registered members
("Members"), about our information and results obtained during and at the end of our Private Research work.
Our mission is to try to connect the world to our Private Research and its most important results, and thus make it accessible, even partially (due to its extreme
complexity and relevance) to everyone. This objective can only be achieved with an availability of wide and diversified accessibility, as we can see with the
use of the Internet, where we can offer online access to visitors globally and uninterruptedly, reaching all types of devices that can access Internet browsers.
Our registered users ("Members") will soon be able to view and download relevant content and thus discover new development opportunities in their respective areas
of knowledge. It is important to inform that some of our contents may also be visible to non-registered or disconnected users (“Visitors”), where a user
can be a member or just a visitor.
Note: It is important to point out that simply registering as a member, either through our form on our Website
or even via an email specific to this purpose (provided only by links on our Website), does not guarantee acceptance as
a member, where we will evaluate all cases.
3. Your Consent
By providing the Ankhk Project (Website) with your "Personal Information", you consent to the collection, use, retention and sharing of that information,
following this Privacy Policy and as permitted by applicable law. You may withdraw your consent at any time (subject to legal restrictions) upon reasonable notice, as
provided in topic (13) of this Privacy Policy.
4. What information we collect and how we process it
a) Basic data processed
Certain data will be processed when you access our Website: to resolve technical requests, display the Website, and maintain the security of our systems.
This data is stored in so-called logs and comprises the following:
IP addresses and the advertising identifier of your mobile device;
The type of computer or mobile device you are using, including operating system and version;
The types of browsers you are using, the language and your country;
Referring pages and URLs, including platform type;
The number of clicks on a page and the amount of time spent on a specific page or parts of pages;
Domain names and information collected for performance purposes.
The data processed is very basic and does not contain directly identifiable information about you, although IP addresses and mobile identifiers are generally considered
"Personal Information". Our interest in our Website is only to be able to provide it in a functional, reliable and accessible way for everyone.
Note: Our entire website is protected by SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology, which encrypts data transmitted between our servers
and your end devices. We also apply other appropriate technical measures to protect your "Personal Information", including the use of Cloudflare services, you can check their
functionalities here:

b) Personal data we process
To provide you with access to the information available on our Website, we need to process the following data and/or information:
Registration of your member account through our form: If you choose to register through our form to participate as a member of our
Website, it will be necessary, during registration, to inform your first and last name, a valid email address, indicate
your country of origin, and a personal phrase (maximum 30 characters) that you must create (look at
Website Terms and
Conditions) and, finally, answer if you are an academic expert, in addition to
agreeing to this Privacy Policy. After evaluation, if your member account is confirmed by us, you will receive a confirmation email containing your
login and password, where, just after you access our Website for the first time, and log in at the appropriate place, your access will be released.
Registration of your member account via communications with us (email): If you choose to register via a specific email (links only on our Website),
the same rules as above will be applied (application via form), however, in additional, you must access our Website and locate this page of the Privacy Policy to make sure of these
premises and thus inform your acceptance in your communication email. If you do not inform us about this, your application will be discarded.
Security: We process your actions during your navigation to detect and prevent possible fraudulent data collection. We also process your IP address
to filter out suspicious requests. If you are a member, we will store your IP address associated with your connection and access log request, otherwise, if you are just a visiting
user, we will only store your IP address associated with your connection. In addition, we process information about your device, your operating system
and the browser you are using for your current session.
Statistics: We use activity data such as the number of accesses, number of countries of origin, number of clicks to download, and most accessed areas on
our page, all to generate statistics related to reading behavior, and thus we can improve the experience of any user, whether they are registered users ("Members") or unregistered
users ("Visitors").
5. How we use the data we collect about you

7. Digital Advertising and Analytics
Since the beginning of our work, we have had no sponsor or associated investors, and therefore, to generate revenue and keep this project running, we are displaying
advertisements on our Website. In this way, we can continue to provide important information (even if still restricted and partially) about our latest Private Research,
and free of charge. In this regard, we reiterate that to maintain a clean and fast navigation, we depend on of our partners to allow only quality ads to be served,
a fact that we are always working to improve and perfect these partnership relationships.
As a result, some of these advertisements may be personalized, meaning that they must be relevant to you based on the information that our advertising providers collect about your
use of both our Website and other sites or apps over time, including relationship information between different browsers and devices.
Please be aware that after you click on a third-party advertisement on our Website, you may no longer be on a site hosted by the Ankhk Project. Where the Ankhk Project is not responsible
for third parties, or their affiliates or agents, who fail to use your "Personal Information" following their Privacy Policies, or any contractual or other legal obligations
to which such third parties, their affiliates or agents may be subject.
Note: If you wish to opt out of these practices regarding targeted advertising and other particulars, please see topic (8) below for some options on how to do so.
8. Third-party Services

The advertising content shown to all users is served by the Ankhk Project itself using the help of third-party technology providers, such as Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and
Google Ad Manager.
Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to measure usage behavior on our Website.
Google Tag Manager: It's a solution that allows us to manage site tags through one interface. Tag Manager itself is a cookie-free domain and
does not collect "Personal Information". The tool triggers other tags that may collect “Personal Information”. Google Tag Manager does not access this data.
Google Ad Manager: Allows you to control and optimize advertisements on our Website. It also helps create campaign performance reports and prevents the
same ads from appearing multiple times. Google Ad Manager also uses cookies for this purpose.
