Privacy Policy

Overview

Nautical Solver respects user privacy and aims to minimize unnecessary collection of personal information wherever reasonably possible.

Nautical Solver is a browser-based naval architecture and marine engineering platform providing calculators, engineering utilities, reference material, and technical articles related to ship design, resistance, propulsion, stability, fuel consumption, emissions, and related marine engineering topics.

Unlike many account-based platforms, Nautical Solver generally operates without requiring user registration, account creation, or direct submission of personal profile information.

Information we do not intentionally request

Nautical Solver does not intentionally request or require users to submit:

• Personal profiles
• Passwords or login credentials
• Payment card information
• Government-issued identification
• Personal engineering project files
• Private vessel operational records

Most calculators and engineering tools can be used directly within the browser without creating an account or submitting personal information.

Technical information and server logs

Like most websites, Nautical Solver and its hosting or infrastructure providers may automatically process limited technical information when users access the site.

This information may include:

• IP addresses
• Browser type and version
• Device and operating system information
• Referring pages or websites
• Access times and page requests
• Basic diagnostic and security information

Such information is generally used for technical operation, traffic analysis, performance monitoring, abuse prevention, security, and maintaining service reliability.

Calculator inputs and local browser storage

Nautical Solver calculators primarily operate locally within the user's browser.

Certain calculators or interface components may use browser storage technologies such as localStorage to temporarily preserve:

• Calculator input values
• Recent engineering parameters
• Interface preferences
• Usability-related settings

In many cases:

• Stored values remain only on the user's own device
• Calculator inputs are not transmitted to Nautical Solver servers
• Users may clear browser storage at any time through browser settings

Browser storage is primarily used to improve usability and reduce the need for repeatedly entering engineering parameters during navigation or page refreshes.

Analytics services

Nautical Solver uses analytics technologies, including Google Analytics (GA4), to better understand overall website usage patterns and improve calculator functionality, technical performance, navigation structure, and content quality.

Analytics systems may process limited technical or pseudonymized data such as:

• Pages viewed
• Interaction events
• Approximate geographic region
• Browser and device characteristics
• Session and traffic source information

Nautical Solver aims to use privacy-oriented analytics settings where reasonably practical, including reduced personalization features and anonymization-related configurations where available.

Analytics information is generally processed in aggregated or pseudonymized form and is not intended to directly identify individual users.

Advertising and Google AdSense

Nautical Solver may display advertisements through Google AdSense or related advertising providers in order to help support operation and continued development of the platform.

Advertising technologies may use cookies, identifiers, or similar technologies to:

• Measure advertisement performance
• Support advertising delivery
• Limit repetitive advertisements
• Detect abuse or invalid traffic
• Provide regionally relevant advertising

Depending on user location, applicable laws, and consent preferences, advertising technologies may also support personalized advertising experiences.

Google and participating advertising partners process information under their own privacy policies, terms, and legal obligations.

Cookies and consent technologies

Nautical Solver may use cookies, browser storage mechanisms, consent technologies, and related tools to support analytics, advertising, technical functionality, and user preferences.

Users located in certain jurisdictions may be presented with consent choices regarding analytics and advertising technologies.

Additional details regarding cookies and consent systems are available in the Cookie Policy.

Exported files and generated outputs

Some Nautical Solver calculators allow users to generate exports such as:

• PDF reports
• PNG images
• Charts or diagrams
• Engineering calculation summaries

In many cases, these files are generated locally within the user's own browser environment and saved directly to the user's device without being uploaded to Nautical Solver servers.

Third-party services and infrastructure

Nautical Solver may rely on third-party providers and infrastructure services including, but not limited to:

• Web hosting providers
• Analytics providers
• Advertising networks
• Security and traffic protection systems
• Content delivery services
• JavaScript libraries and frameworks

Such providers may process technical information according to their own policies, operational requirements, and legal obligations.

External links

Nautical Solver may contain links to external websites, documentation, services, or resources. Nautical Solver is not responsible for the content, security, availability, or privacy practices of third-party websites. Users should review the privacy policies of any external services they access.

Data retention

Nautical Solver generally seeks to minimize unnecessary retention of personal information.

However:

• Technical logs may be retained temporarily for operational purposes
• Analytics retention periods may be managed through analytics providers
• Browser storage remains under user control on the user's device

Retention periods may vary depending on operational, security, legal, or technical requirements.

Children's privacy

Nautical Solver is intended for a general audience interested in naval architecture, engineering, education, and marine technology.

Nautical Solver does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age required by applicable law. If you believe that personal information from a child has been unintentionally processed, please contact us so appropriate steps may be taken.

Your rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have certain rights related to personal data, including rights to:

• Access information
• Request correction
• Request deletion
• Restrict or object to certain processing
• Withdraw consent where applicable

Because Nautical Solver generally does not maintain user accounts or centralized personal profiles, certain requests may need to be directed toward relevant third-party providers where applicable.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically to reflect operational, technical, legal, or regulatory changes. Updated versions will be posted on this page and become effective upon publication.
