Scope and contact
The site provides educational marine technology information. For privacy questions or requests about correspondence you have sent, contact [email protected]. Please identify the relevant message or issue without sending unnecessary identity documents.
Information when you browse
Loading a page requires your browser to request files from the website's hosting infrastructure. Those requests necessarily disclose technical information such as an IP address, requested path and browser request headers. Hosting infrastructure may retain operational or security logs. This static website does not provide a visitor account, advertising profile or analytics dashboard, and its supplied JavaScript does not transmit visitor behaviour to analytics services.
Do not treat the absence of analytics code as a promise that no infrastructure logs exist. Log settings and retention depend on the hosting environment. Contact us if you need clarification about a particular request.
Contact drafts stay on your device
The contact tool reads the fields in your browser to build a plain-text preview. It does not submit those fields to a server, send email or save drafts in cookies or local storage. Copying places the prepared text on your device's clipboard if your browser permits it. Downloading creates a text file through your browser.
Your browser, clipboard manager, downloads folder, device backups or extensions may retain information under their own settings. Clear the fields, clipboard and downloaded file when appropriate, particularly on a shared device. Browser autofill and form restoration are controlled by your browser, not by a site-operated draft store.
If you choose to email us
Sending email is a separate action through your email provider. A message can contain your name, email address, text, attachments and email metadata. Correspondence is used to consider your question, respond where appropriate, handle corrections or address legal and security matters. Do not send confidential vessel access information or sensitive personal data.
Email providers process messages as part of delivering and storing correspondence. Messages may need to be retained while an issue is being handled, for relevant recordkeeping or to meet applicable legal obligations. There is no fixed retention period promised by these static pages. You may ask about or request deletion of your correspondence, subject to any lawful need to retain it.
Cookies, storage and external links
The supplied editorial site code does not set cookies, use local storage or embed third-party tracking scripts. See the Cookies page for the scope of this statement and browser controls. External reference links are ordinary links; following one takes you to a separate website governed by its own privacy practices.
Your choices and rights
You can browse without using the drafting tool or sending correspondence. Depending on your location and the applicable law, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction or objection relating to personal information, and to complain to a competent supervisory authority. Contact the editorial address to explain your request; reasonable verification may be needed before disclosing personal information.
No internet service or email channel can be guaranteed completely secure. This notice may be updated when the site's functions or practices change. Material changes should be reflected here rather than assumed from a previous version.
