Introduction
Welcome to the Privacy Policy of Reality String™ LLC ("Reality String", "we", "our", or "us"). We are committed to protecting your personal data and respecting your privacy rights. This policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our websites or use our services, including all properties operated under BoldHat™ LLC, CORTICALMESH™ LLC, ACME Book Company™, One Primal Breath™, UNU VIVO™, and Collintell Alliance LLC.

- Contract — processing necessary to perform services you have requested.
- Legal obligation — compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, and data portability. To exercise any right, contact [email protected]. We respond within 30 days.
International Data Transfers
Your data may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own. We apply appropriate safeguards — including contractual protections — to ensure an adequate level of protection consistent with applicable laws including GDPR where applicable.
Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures including TLS encryption in transit, access controls, IP-restricted administrative interfaces, and regular security reviews. ARG operative emails are stored in encrypted flat files. UNU VIVO™ archives are zero-knowledge encrypted. In the event of a breach affecting your data, we will notify affected parties as required by law.
Retention of Data
We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purpose collected, or as required by law. ARG operative contact data is retained for active seasons and purged within 90 days of season close. Research data is retained per the applicable research protocol and participant consent agreement.
Children's Privacy
Our services are not intended for individuals under 13. Users between 13 and the age of legal majority require verified parental or guardian consent. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13. If we learn such data has been collected, we will delete it immediately. Contact [email protected].
