Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Eight Fifteen Labs LLC ("we", "us") handles information in connection with this website. It applies to this website only. Our mobile application is a separate service with its own privacy policy, which is presented before installation.

1. Who is responsible for your information

Eight Fifteen Labs LLC is the controller of the personal data described in this policy.

You can contact us about this policy, or exercise any of the rights described in section 8, through the contact details published at eightfifteenlabs.com.

2. Information we collect

We do not operate accounts, sign-in, forms, subscriptions or comments on this website. We therefore do not collect names, email addresses, postal addresses, telephone numbers, payment details or any other information you would have to enter.

We collect the following, and nothing else.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION AUTOMATICALLY RECEIVED. As with any website, requests to our servers carry an IP address, a browser user-agent string, the page requested and the page that linked to it. This information is received and processed by our hosting provider on our behalf in order to deliver the website and to protect it against attack and abuse.

AGGREGATE USAGE MEASUREMENT. We use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which reports each page load together with the page address, the referring page, the country, the browser type and page performance timings. This service does not set cookies, does not write to your device and does not create an identifier for you or your device. It therefore cannot recognize a returning visitor, cannot link your activity across websites, and cannot be used to single you out. We receive the results only in aggregate.

INFORMATION STORED ON YOUR DEVICE. If you are shown the map consent request described in section 6 and choose to accept it, that choice is recorded in your browser's local storage so that you are not asked again on every page. The record consists of a single entry indicating that maps may be loaded. It contains no identifier, is readable only by this website in this browser, is never transmitted to us or to any third party, and can be removed at any time using the control shown beside any map that has been loaded, and by clearing site data in your browser. We store nothing else on your device.

We do not collect special category data, we do not knowingly collect information from children, and we carry out no profiling and no automated decision-making of any kind.

3. Location information

The directory offers to sort locations by distance from you. If you use that feature, your browser will ask for your permission and, if you grant it, provide your approximate position to the page.

That position is processed entirely within your browser for the purpose of ordering the list. It is not transmitted to us or to any third party, and it is not stored. It is discarded when you close or navigate away from the page. Permission can be withdrawn at any time in your browser settings, and the website remains fully usable without it.

4. How we use information

Technical information is used to deliver the website, to maintain its security and availability, and to investigate faults.

Aggregate usage measurement is used to understand which pages are read and how the website performs, and to decide which locations to cover in future.

We do not use any information for advertising, and we do not sell, rent or otherwise make personal data available to data brokers, advertising networks or any other third party for their own purposes.

5. Legal bases for processing

Where the UK GDPR or the EU GDPR applies, we rely on the following legal bases.

LEGITIMATE INTERESTS (Article 6(1)(f)) for the technical information described in section 2 and for aggregate usage measurement. Our legitimate interests are in operating a secure and functioning website and in understanding, at an aggregate level, whether it is useful. We consider the impact on you to be minimal, since no identifier is created and you are not singled out, tracked between sites or profiled.

CONSENT (Article 6(1)(a)) for the embedded map described in section 6. Within the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom the map is not loaded until you request it, and no information is transmitted to the map provider before you do.

If you accept, that acceptance is recorded in your browser as described in section 2, so that maps load on subsequent pages without asking again. You may withdraw it at any time, and as easily as it was given: a control appears beside every map that has been loaded on that basis, in the same place as the request that gave it. Withdrawal takes effect immediately and returns the site to asking each time. Withdrawing does not affect the lawfulness of anything done beforehand.

6. Third parties and disclosures

We disclose personal data to the following recipients, who act as our processors or, where stated, as independent controllers. Each necessarily receives your IP address, because every internet request carries one. None receives any other information about you from us.

CLOUDFLARE, INC. hosts this website and provides the aggregate usage measurement described in section 2. Cloudflare processes requests on our behalf as our processor.

GOOGLE LLC provides the embedded map shown on location pages, as an independent controller for that embed. Google may set cookies through the embedded map and may use the resulting information for its own purposes, as described in its own privacy policy. Within the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom the map is not loaded, and Google is not contacted, unless you request it.

FISHERIES AND OCEANS CANADA publishes tidal predictions for Canadian coasts. Pages relating to Canadian locations request those predictions from its public interface directly from your browser. This service sets no cookies and receives no identifier.

We may also disclose information where required to do so by law, or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

7. International transfers and retention

Our recipients operate globally, and personal data may accordingly be processed outside the country in which you are located, including in the United States. Where such transfers take place from the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, they are made on the basis of the transfer mechanisms adopted by the recipient, such as the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and its UK extension, or Standard Contractual Clauses.

We do not ourselves retain any personal data collected through this website: we operate no database, and we hold no records identifying visitors. Technical information is retained by our hosting provider in accordance with its own retention periods, and aggregate usage measurement is retained by that provider in aggregate form only.

8. Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to request access to the personal data we hold about you, its correction or erasure, the restriction of its processing, its portability, and to object to processing carried out on the basis of legitimate interests.

In practice we hold no information that identifies you, and we are therefore ordinarily unable to locate any records relating to an individual. Article 11 of the GDPR provides that a controller is not obliged to acquire additional information in order to identify a data subject solely to comply with such a request. Where you can provide information that allows a request to be acted upon, we will do so.

If you consider that we have not handled your personal data properly, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your national data protection supervisory authority.

9. Children

This website is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children, and, as set out above, we do not knowingly collect information that identifies any visitor.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes to the website or to legal requirements. The date of the most recent revision is shown at the foot of this page, and the current version is always the one published here.
