How we handle the limited personal data collected through this website. Last updated: 14 July 2026.
This website, oceandata.net, is operated by Ocean Data Network (ODN). For anything related to your personal data, contact us at info@oceandata.net.
This policy covers the website only. If you use the Ocean Data Network mobile app, see the separate App Privacy Policy.
Contact form. If you write to us through the contact page we receive the details you type: your name, email address, organisation, role and message. We use them for one purpose only: reading and answering your enquiry. The submission is delivered to our team mailbox as an email; this website keeps no database of submissions, and your details are never added to a marketing list.
Technical logs. Like nearly every website, our servers briefly record technical request data, including IP addresses, pages requested and browser type. We use it to keep the site secure (for example, limiting abusive traffic to the contact form) and to understand overall usage. These logs are small, rotate automatically, and are typically overwritten within days.
Aggregate statistics. We review visitor statistics in aggregate form only, for example total visits, most-read pages and visitor countries. These statistics do not identify individual people.
This website sets no cookies and uses no advertising or cross-site trackers. Your language choice is saved in your browser's local storage, on your own device; it is not transmitted to us.
A small number of infrastructure providers process technical data on our behalf to make the site work:
We do not sell personal data, and we do not share it with anyone for advertising.
Contact-form emails are kept in our mailbox for as long as needed to handle the correspondence. Server logs rotate automatically within days. Aggregate statistics contain no personal data.
You can ask us at any time what personal data we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it (for example, an old contact-form email). Write to info@oceandata.net and we will respond promptly.
If we change how the website handles personal data, we will update this page and its "last updated" date.
