Privacy notice
This notice covers the website argonods.com. It says what we collect when you visit or contact us, why, and what you can do about it. The Argonods platform will have its own notice, shown before you create an account.
The short version
- No cookies, no analytics, no advertising trackers. This site sets none.
- Nothing loads from third parties. Fonts and images come from our own domain, so opening a page tells nobody else you were here.
- We only receive personal data when you choose to email us through one of the forms, or directly.
- We never sell personal data.
Who is responsible
Argonods is run by [legal name of the company or person], [registered address], [registration or tax number]. We are the controller of the personal data described here. You can reach us at hello@argonods.com.
How the forms work
The forms on this site do not send anything by themselves. They open your own email app with a message addressed to hello@argonods.com, filled in with what you entered. Nothing reaches us until you press send in your email app.
We do not ask for your diagnosis, medical records or any document on this website.

A note on health data. Argonods is built for adults with ADHD. Applying to join as a solver can therefore reveal something about your health, even though we ask no health question here. We treat every solver application as health data. We use it only to contact you about joining, we rely on your explicit consent, and you can withdraw that consent at any time by emailing us. We then delete your application.
Who receives it
[Email provider], which hosts our mailbox, and [hosting provider], which hosts this website, process data for us under contract. Nobody else receives it. [If either provider stores data outside the European Economic Area, say where, and that the transfer relies on the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses or an adequacy decision.]
How long we keep it
- Cohort applications: until your cohort opens, and no longer than 12 months after you applied unless you have joined by then.
- Challenge and nonprofit requests: 24 months after our last exchange.
- Other emails: 24 months after our last exchange.
- Server logs: [30 days, or your host’s actual period].
Your rights
You can ask us to show you the data we hold about you, correct it, delete it, restrict or object to how we use it, or hand it to you in a portable format. Where we rely on your consent, you can withdraw it at any time; that does not affect what was done before you withdrew.
Email hello@argonods.com. We answer within one month.
You can also complain to the Portuguese data protection authority, the Comissão Nacional de Proteção de Dados (CNPD), at cnpd.pt, or to the authority where you live.
Automated decisions
We make no automated decisions about you on this website.
Age
Argonods is for adults. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18.
Security
Email reaches us over encrypted connections, and access to the mailbox is limited to [who has access].

If this notice changes, we will post the new version here with a new date.
