HOW INFORMATION HELPS BOTH YOU AND US

Information about you plays a key role in our ability to provide you with information about our services. We use information about you to:

  • Evaluate your eligibility for our training programs and equipment purchases in accordance with our client requirements (U.S. Department of Defense, Government Agencies, and select foreign military units)

SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS

Given the nature of our business serving military and government clients, we take additional security measures to protect sensitive information. All information you provide to us is stored on secure servers behind firewalls. Any form submissions are transmitted using encryption.

However, due to the classified and sensitive nature of some of our services, certain information about operational capabilities, training methodologies, and equipment specifications is not available through the Website and requires proper security clearance and authorization.

We may disclose aggregated information about our users, and information that does not identify any individual, without restriction.

  • For any other purpose disclosed by us when you provide the information
  • With your consent

We may also disclose your personal information:

  • To enforce or apply our Terms of Service and other agreements
  • If we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to protect the rights, property, or safety of Archetype Undersea, our clients, or others

ELIGIBILITY VERIFICATION

Due to the exclusive nature of our services (available only to U.S. Department of Defense, Government Agencies, and select foreign military units), we may need to verify your eligibility and security clearance status before providing certain information or services. This may involve coordination with appropriate government agencies or defense contractors.

The safety and security of your information also depends on you. We urge you to be careful about sharing sensitive information about your organization, mission parameters, or operational requirements through unsecured channels.
