YOUR INFORMATION
Privacy notice
Updated 20 September 2026
Who runs OffshoreWindow
OffshoreWindow is operated by Sam O’Neil. For privacy questions, or to request a copy, correction or permanent deletion of your information, contact samueljamesoneil@gmail.com. We may need to verify that a request comes from the account owner.
Information used by the service
We store your account identifier and display name, projects, work locations, selected vessels, shift times, working-day outcomes, reasons, notes and associated weather information. Login and infrastructure providers also process technical information, such as IP addresses, browser details, session cookies and security logs, to operate and protect the service.
Email and Google sign-in
Clerk manages authentication, email verification, sessions and account recovery. If you choose Google sign-in, Google shares your account identifier and the basic profile information you authorise, such as your name, email address and profile picture, with Clerk to authenticate you. OffshoreWindow does not receive your Google password and does not request access to Gmail messages, Google Drive files or contacts. You can manage the Google connection through your Google account settings.
How information is used
Your records are used to provide your personal workspace, save and restore logs, retrieve vessel and weather information, and estimate weather-day likelihood from the logs in your project. Predictions are estimates. Projects and logs are not published to other users by the current app. We do not sell your personal information or use it for advertising.
Services that process information
Cloudflare hosts the app and its database; Clerk provides login services. Vessel searches and identifiers are sent to VesselAPI. Coordinates and dates needed for forecasts or historical weather are sent to Stormglass or Open-Meteo. These feed requests do not include your email, passwords or log notes. Maps and vessel images may load from OpenStreetMap and Wikimedia, which receive the network information needed to deliver them. These providers may process information in countries outside your own under their respective privacy terms.
Cookies and browser storage
The app and its login provider use cookies and browser storage for sign-in, security and session operation. The current app does not add advertising trackers. Blocking essential login cookies may prevent you from signing in.
Retention and deletion
Project records remain stored until removed or until an account-data deletion request is carried out. The app currently has no automatic retention deadline. Deleting a log in the app removes it from active logs and predictions, but retains a copy in correction history so you can restore it. For permanent removal of that history or all account data, contact us. Deleting or disconnecting a login identity alone does not necessarily erase the project database. Operational logs and backups can have separate retention periods with our service providers.
Your choices and changes
You can choose email/password instead of Google sign-in and edit your saved records in the app. Contact us to discuss access, correction, export, deletion or any applicable data-protection rights. Avoid entering confidential employer information or other people’s personal information in free-text notes unless you have permission. We will update this notice as the service changes and show the updated date here.
