What data may be processed, why it is used, which providers are involved and how to exercise your rights.
1. Controller and scope
This site is operated by the independent Estrecho Ormuz editorial project. Privacy, data-protection and rights requests may be sent to contacto@estrechoormuz.com.
The website can be used without creating an account. This policy applies to estrechoormuz.com, its public pages, local alert features and communications linked to the project.
2. Data that may be processed
Technical and security data: IP address, user agent, time, requested URL, headers, errors and abuse-prevention events.
Aggregated usage data: visited pages, approximate referral information, load times and performance metrics.
Local preferences: last status seen, notification permissions and privacy choices stored by the browser or consent platform.
Communications: email address, message content and metadata needed when you contact the project.

4. Google AdSense and Google's CMP
The site has configured a Google AdSense account and Google's consent management platform. While the site is under review, ads may not yet be displayed. Once advertising is approved and enabled, Google and selected advertising providers may use cookies or similar technologies to:
show personalised ads where consent exists;
show non-personalised or limited ads where applicable;
measure performance, frequency and conversions;
prevent fraud, invalid traffic and security incidents.
For visitors in the EEA, UK and Switzerland, Google's CMP allows users to consent, decline or manage purposes and providers. The current provider list and linked policies are shown inside the consent message.
Cloudflare provides DNS, security, delivery and performance-measurement services. GitHub Pages hosts and publishes the site's static files. These providers may process technical data required to deliver content, prevent abuse and maintain operational logs.
Cloudflare Web Analytics is used for aggregated usage and performance metrics. According to its documentation, its beacon does not require analytics cookies or localStorage for this measurement.
6. Third-party content
The MyShipTracking AIS map is embedded on demand within this website. Only when the user selects the load button does the browser connect directly to MyShipTracking, which may process technical data under its own terms and privacy policy. MarineTraffic is provided only as an alternative external link.
7. Recipients, transfers and retention
Data may be processed by technology providers required for hosting, security, analytics, email, consent and advertising. Some providers may operate outside the European Economic Area and apply transfer safeguards recognised by applicable law.
Technical logs are retained as needed for security, diagnosis and compliance. Communications are kept as long as necessary to answer and address possible liabilities. Advertising preferences and retention periods depend on the CMP, browser and provider.
8. Rights
You may request access, correction, deletion, objection, restriction or portability where applicable, and withdraw consent without affecting processing carried out before withdrawal. Contact contacto@estrechoormuz.com with enough information to process the request.
You may also lodge a complaint with the Spanish Data Protection Agency.
9. Children and updates
The site is not specifically directed at children and does not knowingly request children's data. This policy may be updated following technical, regulatory or provider changes. The revision date will appear at the top.
