01

Who we are and how to contact us

This website is operated by Artificium Solutions Inc. (“Artificium”, “we”, “us”), an AI automation business based in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada. This policy covers artificiumsolutions.com, including the Bootstrapt book pages served from it at /bootstrapt/.

For any question about this policy or your personal information, contact us:

What we collect and why

When you use the contact form

The form on our homepage asks for your name, email address and a message, and optionally your company, a project budget range and what you need help with. When you submit it, our server also records your IP address, your browser’s user-agent string (which identifies the browser and operating system) and the time of the submission.

We use this to reply to your enquiry and discuss possible work with you. The IP address, user agent and time help us recognise spam and abuse. Your IP address is also held in memory for up to 10 minutes to limit repeated submissions.

Each submission is saved to a file on our server and sent by email to two inboxes we control: one on our own mail server and one Gmail account. Our server’s application log also records the time, IP address and email address of each submission.

When you email us

If you write to us directly, we receive your email address and whatever you include in your message, and use them to reply.

When you visit any page

Like most websites, our web server keeps standard access logs of the requests it receives: your IP address, the date and time, the address of the page or file requested (including anything after a “?” in the address), the referring page and your browser’s user-agent string. We use these logs to operate and secure the site and to diagnose problems.

03

Bootstrapt purchases

We do not take Bootstrapt purchases online. The site has no checkout form, collects no card details and charges no cards. To get the book, contact us.

The Bootstrapt checkout page now only explains how to reach us. It has no form, and our server refuses any purchase request sent to it without saving anything from the request.

Records from earlier test purchases are held on our server in a file named private-bootstrapt/purchases.jsonl. A record holds an email address, a name, the amount, the time and a download key, and a record created through the old test checkout could also hold the last four digits of the card number entered and the IP address. Our application log also records the time and email address of each earlier test purchase. No full card numbers, CVCs or expiry dates were saved.

A download link already issued from one of these records can still be used by anyone who has it.

04

Cookies

This site does not set cookies, and it does not use local storage or similar browser storage.

Cloudflare, which delivers the site (see service providers), may set its own security cookie if it needs to check that a visitor is not an automated bot.

05

Analytics

We do not use Google Analytics, advertising pixels or third-party trackers. We use one first-party engagement measure, the Klimb beacon, to learn which pages hold readers’ attention.

Our pages load a small script from https://autana.ca/klimb/api/t.js. When you hide or close the tab, it sends the following to our analytics service at autana.ca:

  • the address of the page (never the part after a “?”)
  • how far down the page you scrolled
  • how long the page was visible
  • whether you arrived from a Google search results page
  • a “quick exit” flag: you arrived from Google and left within 10 seconds without clicking a link to another page on this site

The beacon sets no cookies and stores nothing on your device. It uses a random identifier that is created fresh for each page view, so views cannot be linked to each other. The analytics service does not store your IP address or user agent. It uses your IP address only in memory, to limit how many requests it accepts, and discards it within a minute. Raw page views are deleted after 90 days.

If your browser sends a Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signal, the beacon does nothing at all.

The beacon’s request reaches the autana.ca web server like any other web request, so it appears in that server’s standard access logs (see how long we keep it).

06

Service providers

We share personal information only with the providers below, and only as needed for them to provide their service, except where the law requires otherwise.

  • Cloudflare, Inc. All traffic to this site passes through Cloudflare’s network, which delivers and protects the site. Cloudflare processes your IP address and request details to do this. See Cloudflare’s privacy policy.
  • Google LLC (Google Fonts). The homepage and this page load their typefaces from Google Fonts, so your browser sends your IP address and user agent to Google when it fetches them. See Google’s privacy policy.
  • Google LLC (Gmail). One of the two inboxes that receive contact form submissions is a Gmail account, so Google stores those emails.

Cloudflare and Google may process information outside Canada, including in the United States, where it may be accessible to authorities under local law.

07

How long we keep it

  • Klimb analytics page views: deleted after 90 days.
  • Web server access logs (for artificiumsolutions.com and autana.ca): rotated daily and deleted after 14 days.
  • IP addresses used to limit repeated form submissions: held in memory for up to 10 minutes.
  • Contact form submissions and emails you send us: kept as long as needed for the purpose they were collected for, such as answering your enquiry and working with you.
  • Records from earlier Bootstrapt test purchases (private-bootstrapt/purchases.jsonl): kept on our server until we decide whether to keep or delete them.

Information held by Cloudflare and Google is kept according to their own policies.

08

Your choices and rights

Under Canadian privacy law, including British Columbia’s Personal Information Protection Act, you can:

  • ask for access to the personal information we hold about you;
  • ask us to correct it if it is inaccurate or incomplete;
  • withdraw your consent to our continued use of it, subject to legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice.

To make a request, email hello@artificiumsolutions.com. We may need to confirm your identity before acting on it.

You can also turn on Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control in your browser to switch off the Klimb beacon, or email us instead of using the contact form.

If you are not satisfied with how we handle your personal information, please tell us first so we can try to fix it. You also have the right to complain to:
