Where applicable law requires a legal basis, we rely on: (a) our legitimate interests in operating a defense technology business and responding to qualified inquiries; (b) performance of a contract or pre-contractual steps; (c) compliance with legal obligations; and (d) consent where we expressly request it.
4. Disclosure of Information
We do not sell personal information. We may disclose information only as follows:
- To service providers and processors who support hosting, email delivery, security, and analytics under contractual confidentiality and data-processing terms.

- With your direction or consent.
We do not share program-inquiry data with third parties for their independent marketing purposes.
5. International Transfers
Aranruth is based in the United States. Information you submit may be processed and stored in the United States or other jurisdictions where our service providers operate. Where required, we implement appropriate safeguards (standard contractual clauses or equivalent mechanisms) for transfers from jurisdictions that restrict cross-border data flows.
6. Retention
We retain personal and organizational information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Notice, including:
- Program-intake records: for the duration of active evaluation and a reasonable period thereafter for follow-up and audit.
- Contractual and compliance records: for the period required by applicable law, contract, or legitimate business need (typically not less than the statute of limitations for related claims).
- Technical logs: for shorter periods consistent with security and diagnostic needs.
When retention is no longer required, we securely delete or irreversibly anonymize the information.
7. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Our websites may use strictly necessary cookies for security and basic functionality, and limited analytics cookies to understand aggregate usage.
