How MAYAN ALFA handles personal data.
This notice explains how personal data is handled across the public website, direct contact, and the supporting services used to operate the project.
The current scope is intentionally small: public information, archive navigation, and direct email contact.
Controller and contact
MAYAN ALFA is run by David Hess. Use david.hess@mayanalfa.com for privacy requests, access requests, correction requests, and any other data protection question.
What we may process
The site may process information you send in email, basic technical logs from hosting, and limited metadata needed to keep the public site secure and available.
Why we process it
We use that information to answer messages, operate the website, keep the archive and validation pages available, and protect the service from misuse.
