Cookie Policy

Effective Date: February 2026 · Aionix Data Inc. (Canada)

1. Introduction & Philosophy

Aionix Data Inc. ("Aionix Data," "we," "our," or "us") operates the website https://www.aionixdata.com. As an optical physics and deep-tech organization engineering permanent 5D storage in fused silica, our engineering philosophy extends directly to digital privacy: we collect only what is strictly necessary, and preserve your autonomy.

This Cookie Policy explains our transparent practices regarding cookies, local storage, and digital tracking technologies. It describes how we adhere to strict international privacy frameworks, including Canadian standards (PIPEDA, CASL, Quebec Law 25), European and UK frameworks (GDPR, EU ePrivacy Directive 2002/58/EC), and global privacy benchmarks.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, smartphone, or tablet when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your display preferences, and provide information to site operators.

Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and web beacons, which allow a browser to store limited state information locally on your device.

3. Our Minimalist, Privacy-First Approach

Unlike typical commercial websites, Aionix Data Inc. does NOT employ invasive user tracking, behavioral profiling, or advertising networks. Specifically:

Zero Third-Party Advertising Cookies: We do not host banner advertisements, programmatic ad exchanges, or behavioral re-targeting pixels (such as Meta Pixel, Google Ads, or TikTok Pixels).
Zero Cross-Site Tracking: We never track your activity across third-party websites or construct digital fingerprint profiles of visitors.
Zero Sale or Commercial Sharing of Data: We never sell, rent, monetize, or trade any browsing activity or personal information to data brokers or advertising syndicates.
Static Architecture: Our website is built as an optimized static export, designed to deliver information fast without collecting ambient background telemetry.

4. Personal Data Captured via Contact Forms & Email

The primary purpose of our website is to present our 5D optical storage technology and provide a direct communication channel for prospective enterprise partners, researchers, investors, and job candidates.

The only personal information collected by Aionix Data Inc. is data that you voluntarily provide to us when you reach out directly, specifically:

Contact & Inquiry Forms: When you submit a request through our Contact page, you may provide your name, email address, affiliated company or institution, and the message content of your inquiry.
Direct Email Communications: When you send an email to contact@aionixdata.com or our team addresses, we receive and retain the correspondence to respond to your inquiry and evaluate potential collaboration.
Job Applications: When reaching out regarding open positions listed on our Careers page, you may submit your curriculum vitae, portfolio, and professional contact details.

We process this information solely on the lawful basis of legitimate interest (responding to your direct request) or contractual necessity (discussing pilot trials, partnerships, or employment). We do not correlate your email inquiries with covert cookie identifiers.

5. Technical & Strictly Necessary Storage

Under European (ePrivacy Directive Article 5(3)) and Canadian standards, cookies or storage items that are strictly necessary for the technical delivery of a requested service are exempt from requiring affirmative cookie consent banners.

Aionix Data Inc. may utilize only essential, non-tracking technical mechanisms:

Client-Side Session State: Transient browser state strictly required to process and validate contact form submissions and protect against automated spam / cross-site request forgery (CSRF).
Interface Preferences: Local storage flags to remember transient UI settings (such as navigation drawer states or accessibility preferences). These flags reside entirely in your browser and contain zero personal identifiers.

Because we do not deploy non-essential cookies (such as third-party marketing cookies), your browsing experience on our site is private by default.

6. Compliance with Global Regulatory Standards

Our data minimization architecture is engineered to satisfy and exceed global statutory standards:

Canadian Standards (PIPEDA, CASL & Quebec Law 25)

We adhere strictly to Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and provincial standards. We obtain clear, meaningful consent for personal data provided via contact forms and never send unsolicited commercial electronic messages (CEMs) in violation of Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL).

European Union & UK Standards (GDPR & ePrivacy Directive)

Under Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR), UK GDPR, and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), websites must obtain prior opt-in consent for non-essential cookies. Because Aionix Data Inc. does not utilize non-essential tracking or marketing cookies, no unauthorized profiling or cross-site tracking occurs.

United States & Global Privacy Laws (CCPA / CPRA & Global)

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by CPRA and other US state statutes, consumers have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal data. Aionix Data Inc. does not sell, rent, or share personal information with third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising.

7. Third-Party Links & External Services

Our website contains external links to professional platforms, including our corporate LinkedIn page (LinkedIn) and X account (@aionixdata).

When you click on an external link to visit a third-party service, that platform may place cookies or trackers according to its own privacy policy. Aionix Data Inc. does not control third-party cookies placed once you navigate away from our domain. We encourage you to review the privacy notices of external platforms you choose to visit.

8. How to Manage or Disable Cookies in Your Browser

Most modern web browsers allow you to manage your cookie preferences, view stored cookies, and block or delete them entirely. You can configure your browser settings at any time:
