> Operator must verify this against the actual analytics, hosting, CMP and advertising configuration before publishing. Do not claim a service is absent if production uses it.

Privacy Policy

Shark Incidents aims to collect only the information needed to operate, secure and improve the website.

Information collected automatically

Standard web-server and security logs may record information such as:

  • IP address;
  • browser/user-agent;
  • requested URL;
  • timestamp;
  • referring page;
  • security and error information.

These logs are used for site operation, abuse prevention, diagnostics and aggregate traffic analysis.

Information you submit

If you use the Contact or Corrections form, the site processes the information you provide so the submission can be reviewed and, where requested, answered.

Do not submit sensitive medical information that is not necessary for a correction.

Cookies and local storage

Essential storage may be used for security, consent choices and site functionality.

Optional analytics or advertising storage must not be activated where consent is required until the appropriate consent has been obtained.

Analytics

If analytics is enabled, describe the actual provider and configuration here. Use privacy-respecting settings and avoid collecting information that is not necessary for understanding site performance.

Advertising

Advertising is initially disabled.

If Google AdSense or another advertising provider is enabled later, this policy and the consent interface must be updated before ads go live. Where required, a certified consent-management platform should allow users to make and revisit advertising/measurement choices.

Data retention

Logs and form submissions should be retained only for as long as needed for security, operational, correction-review and legal purposes.

Data sharing

Personal information is not sold.

Information may be processed by infrastructure, security, analytics, email or advertising providers only as required to operate the configured services and subject to their applicable terms.

Your choices

Users should be able to reopen cookie/consent settings where applicable and contact the site regarding a submitted form or privacy question.

Changes

Material changes to this policy should update the effective date.
