Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 3, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how the individual developer who provides OceanGraph (“we,” “us,” or “our”) handles information in connection with OceanGraph and OceanGraph Articles (collectively, the “Service”).

Article 1 (Information We Collect)

We may collect the following information when providing the Service:

  • Account information required for registration and authentication, such as an email address
  • Content, contact details, and other information provided through feedback or inquiries
  • Usage information such as IP address, usage environment, pages viewed, and interactions with the Service
  • Identifiers and settings stored using cookies and similar technologies

OceanGraph does not automatically attach a user ID or email address to feedback content.

Article 2 (Purposes of Use)

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

  • To provide, operate, and maintain the Service
  • To verify users and provide authentication features
  • To understand usage, improve features and articles, and investigate defects
  • To respond to inquiries about the Service and coordinate support
  • To prevent and respond to unauthorized use, unauthorized access, and other security issues

Article 3 (Analytics on OceanGraph Articles)

OceanGraph Articles uses Google Analytics 4, provided by Google LLC, only after a user gives consent. We collect information about how articles are viewed and used to understand usage and improve content and navigation. We do not send information entered in the inquiry form to Google Analytics.

OceanGraph Articles stores the user’s analytics choice in the browser. If a user consents to analytics, Google Analytics uses cookies for analytics. Users can change or withdraw consent at any time through “Cookie settings” in the footer of any page. Declining or withdrawing consent does not prevent users from reading articles, switching languages, or following links to OceanGraph.

For details about how Google handles information, see the Google Privacy Policy.

Article 4 (Inquiries on OceanGraph Articles)

We use information submitted through the inquiry form to respond to inquiries and coordinate support. When a user consents to sharing with a partner company, we may share the inquiry and contact details with a suitable partner only to the extent needed to respond.

Article 5 (Service Providers and Disclosure to Third Parties)

We may engage service providers to process information as necessary to provide the Service.

We do not disclose personal information to third parties without the user’s consent, except as permitted by applicable law.

Article 6 (Security)

We take reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect collected information against unauthorized access, loss, alteration, and disclosure.

Article 7 (Contact)

Article 8 (Changes to This Policy)

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in law, the Service, or our information practices. If a change is material, we will provide notice through the Service or another appropriate method.
