PRIVACY POLICY
This document sets out the operational procedures regarding data processing, local browser storage, and visitor privacy on sortboardtogetherly.monster.
1. Data Governance Overview
sortboardtogetherly.monster ("the Atlas", "the Platform", "we", "our") is operated by North Atlantic Atlas Publishing Ltd. This policy outlines our exact protocols for handling any personal data gathered when accessing our digital cartographic reference pages.
We do not operate intrusive tracking mechanisms, behavioral advertising networks, or third-party marketing brokers. Our data collection is intentionally minimal, designed only to preserve operational interface status and receive user inquiries.
2. Information Collected Automatically
When you navigate our pages, standard server log files may record technical connection parameters. These logs record:
- Internet Protocol (IP) address (frequently truncated or anonymized at server entry)
- Browser software version and rendering engine details
- Operating system environment and device display resolution
- HTTP request timestamp, referring uniform resource locator, and requested internal URI path
These server logs are used solely to diagnose connection failures, maintain infrastructure security, and guard against denial-of-service attempts. They are never joined with external databases.
3. Contact Form Submissions
When you prepare and transmit a communication via our contact desk, you voluntarily provide your identification details:
- Your self-stated full name
- Your direct contact email address
- The categorical classification of your inquiry
- The message text and any geographic coordinate notes
In our static demonstration environment, data submitted via the contact interface is validated within your local browser runtime. If an actual transmission is sent to our administrative inbox ([email protected]), that communication is retained strictly for the duration required to answer your query or address the field correction.
4. Cookies and Local Storage
We do not store commercial marketing cookies. We use browser local storage (specifically localStorage) to record your cookie consent choice so the consent prompt does not reappear unnecessarily across visits. For comprehensive technical parameters, consult our dedicated Cookie Policy.
5. Legal Bases for Processing (GDPR / UK Data Protection Act)
Where European Union (GDPR) or United Kingdom data privacy regulations apply, we process personal information under the following statutory grounds:
- Legitimate Interests: Operating and maintaining the stability, integrity, and security of this informational platform.
- Consent: When you provide voluntary contact details to submit a field correction or research inquiry.
- Legal Obligation: If disclosure is mandated by binding court order or maritime authority inquiry.
6. Third-Party Services and Subprocessors
This static reference website does not load external tracking scripts, advertising SDKs, social media tracking pixels, or third-party web font services. Static image assets are loaded directly or via public image distribution networks using standard anonymized cache protocols.
7. Data Retention Periods
Routine web server access logs are retained for no longer than thirty (30) days, after which they are systematically deleted or anonymized. Voluntary email correspondence directed to our operations desk is archived for up to twelve (12) months to maintain editorial records of cartographic corrections, unless an earlier deletion is requested.
8. Your Statutory Rights
Under applicable international privacy frameworks (including GDPR, UK GDPR, and relevant provisions of the California Consumer Privacy Act / CCPA), you hold definitive rights regarding your personal records:
- The right to request confirmation of whether we hold personal data related to you and to obtain a copy.
- The right to request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal records.
- The right to request deletion of personal records where processing is no longer required.
- The right to object to or restrict processing under defined statutory conditions.
- The right to lodge an administrative complaint with your regional supervisory data protection authority.
9. Security Architecture
We apply HTTPS encryption across our entire domain using modern TLS transport security protocols. Internal access to administrative inboxes is restricted to authorized field editors through authenticated security keys.
10. Administrative Point of Contact
