12. Website Visit Data
When you visit navicasteco.com — including the public marketing pages and free calculator, whether or not you have an account — we record your IP address, an approximate location derived from it (country, region, and city), the page visited, device type, and the referring website. We also record a simple signal of whether the page received any interaction (scrolling, mouse movement, or key presses), used to help distinguish real visitors from automated bots and link-preview crawlers.
This is separate from the account, vessel, and billing data described in Section 2, and applies to anonymous site visitors as well as registered users. Retention: indefinite — we do not currently run an automated deletion schedule for this dataset. Legal basis: legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) in securing the Service, detecting abuse, and understanding which channels bring visitors to the site. You can exercise your GDPR rights (Section 7) over this data the same way as any other personal data we hold.
