Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 4, 2025

Our Commitment to Privacy

At Nautilus, we are fundamentally committed to protecting your privacy. We believe that underwater research and exploration should not come at the cost of your personal data. This policy outlines our minimal data practices and our dedication to anonymizing all information we collect.

Data Collection Philosophy

We are substantially not interested in tracking our users. We collect only the absolute minimum data necessary to provide our underwater videogrammetry services and maintain the security of our systems.

Any data we do collect is immediately anonymized and aggregated, making it impossible to identify individual users or their activities.

Information We Collect

Contact Information

When you reach out to us via email or through our contact form, we collect only the information you voluntarily provide (such as your email address and message content) to respond to your inquiry. This information is deleted after 90 days unless you become a client.

Service Data

For clients using our ROV services, we collect only the technical data necessary to complete your project (location coordinates, depth measurements, environmental parameters). All client data is anonymized and stored securely with end-to-end encryption.

Technical Information

We do not use cookies, tracking pixels, or analytics tools that identify individual users. We collect only anonymized, aggregated technical information necessary for system security (such as generalized traffic patterns to prevent abuse).

How We Protect Your Data

  • All data is anonymized immediately upon collection using industry-standard cryptographic techniques
  • We do not sell, rent, or share your data with third parties
  • We do not use third-party tracking or advertising services
  • All communications are encrypted in transit and at rest
  • Data retention is minimized - we delete data as soon as it's no longer needed

No User Tracking

We do not track your browsing behavior, build user profiles, or engage in behavioral advertising. We do not use:

  • Google Analytics or similar tracking services
  • Social media pixels or tracking cookies
  • Cross-site tracking or fingerprinting techniques
  • Persistent identifiers that follow you across sessions

Your Rights

Because we anonymize all data immediately, there is no personally identifiable information to access, modify, or delete. However, you have the right to:

  • Request information about what anonymized data we maintain
  • Opt out of any future communications
  • Request deletion of any contact information you've provided

Data Breach Protocol

In the unlikely event of a data breach, our anonymization practices ensure that no personally identifiable information would be compromised. We will notify affected parties within 72 hours of discovering any security incident, even if no personal data is at risk.

Third-Party Services

We minimize the use of third-party services. When we do use external providers (such as email hosting), we ensure they meet the same privacy standards we maintain and have signed data processing agreements that prohibit them from using your data for their own purposes.

Changes to This Policy

We will notify users of any material changes to this privacy policy via email or through a prominent notice on our website at least 30 days before the changes take effect. Your continued use of our services after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

Summary:

We anonymize everything, track nothing, and are fundamentally uninterested in your personal data. We collect only what's necessary to provide our underwater videogrammetry services, and we delete it as soon as we're done.
