Canonical HTML: https://photonicassembly.com/privacy-policy/

Last updated 25 September 2026.

PhotonicAssembly.com is an independent technical and editorial resource. The site does not operate an on-site inquiry form, newsletter subscription system, user accounts or ecommerce system, and does not sell personal data.

## Microsoft Clarity

PhotonicAssembly.com uses Microsoft Clarity to understand how visitors interact with the site and to improve usability, navigation and content presentation.

Clarity may process technical and interaction information such as page visits, clicks, scrolling, mouse movement, window or viewport changes, page visibility, performance and diagnostic events, device or session information, referrer information and related usage signals.

Microsoft processes information associated with Clarity in accordance with the Microsoft Privacy Statement.

## Microsoft Clarity Brand Agent

PhotonicAssembly.com may use Microsoft Clarity Brand Agents to provide an AI-assisted guide to the site's technical and editorial content.

If you interact with the Brand Agent, information you provide through the conversation, including chat text and interaction events, may be processed by Microsoft to operate, secure and improve the service.

The Brand Agent is intended to help visitors navigate and understand the site's content. It is not a customer-support, order-processing, manufacturing-service, ecommerce or account-management system.

Visitors should not submit confidential, proprietary, sensitive or unnecessary personal information through the Brand Agent.

## Brand Agent information and deletion

Where the Brand Agent stores insights or preferences derived from an interaction, you may request deletion of saved information through the Brand Agent.

Examples of requests include:

- "Delete my saved information"
- "Clear my agent memory"
- "Forget my previous interactions"
- "Remove my preferences"

## Technical and server data

Hosting, security and analytics infrastructure may process ordinary technical information such as IP address, user agent, requested URL, timestamp, referrer, device or session information and security events.

Retention, access and processing depend on the applicable hosting, security and analytics services and their configuration.

## Cookies and similar technologies

Microsoft Clarity, hosting infrastructure and security controls may use cookies or similar technologies for analytics, session association, security and technical operation.

Where visitor consent is required, non-essential cookie use should operate according to the applicable consent signal or visitor choice.

Clarity may operate with reduced functionality when consent for analytics storage is not provided.

## Strategic Inquiry page

PhotonicAssembly.com provides a local Strategic Inquiry page, but it does not operate an on-site inquiry form or collect your inquiry details locally. The page directs interested visitors to the external Chanakya.vip inquiry channel. Once you continue to Chanakya.vip, the destination's privacy terms apply.

## External references

Links to journals, publishers and other external sources are supplied for technical and editorial context. Their operators control their own privacy and data practices.

## Changes and questions

This Privacy Policy may be updated when site functionality, service providers or applicable requirements change.

Privacy-related questions may be raised through the clearly marked external inquiry channel.
