Your dive is yours.

Depth is built to be explored, not to watch you. There are no ads, no analytics and no tracking on this site. This page explains, in plain words, the little it does handle.

Last updated November 13, 2026

Who runs this site

Depth, at juliolucas.com, is run by me, Julio Lucas, in California, United States. I am responsible for any personal information this site handles. For anything about your information, reach me through the contact form or on LinkedIn.

What this site does not do

• No analytics. Nothing measures your visit or builds a profile of you.
• No advertising, no tracking pixels and no social media widgets.
• No cookies set by this site.
• I never sell your personal information, and I never share it for advertising.

If you send me a message

The contact form asks for your name, your email address and your message. When you press Send, they are emailed to my inbox so I can read and reply. They are not saved on the website and are not added to any mailing list.

I keep messages only as long as the conversation needs them. Ask me and I will delete your message and any reply.

To keep the form free of spam, the server keeps two small records, and neither one holds your name, your email address or your message:

• A log line with the time of each attempt and whether it was sent.
• A one-way scrambled code made from your IP address, with the times of your recent messages, so no one can send more than a few per hour. Times older than 24 hours are discarded.

The spam check

The contact form uses Cloudflare Turnstile to tell people from bots. It loads only when you open the contact form, never during the dive. To do its job it processes technical details such as your IP address and browser information. Cloudflare states that it uses this information only to detect and block bots and to improve that detection, not to identify, profile or target you. Cloudflare is based in the United States and is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, with its UK and Swiss extensions. Read the Turnstile privacy addendum and Cloudflare's privacy policy.

Your dive stays on your device

• The dive log. Your depth, dive time, sightings and what you found aboard are tracked in your browser while you dive. Nothing about your dive is sent to me or stored on the server. Printing uses your own browser's print feature, and the log is gone when you close or reload the page.
• Settings on your device. Your browser's local storage remembers a few things so the dive works better on your next visit: your calm motion choice, the picture quality that suits your device, whether you have used the keyboard, a visit count that changes which rare animals appear, and short technical notes that help the site recover if your browser's graphics crash. These stay on your device and are never sent. Clearing this site's data in your browser removes them.
• Motion on phones and tablets. You can look around by moving your device. Some browsers ask your permission first. You can decline and drag to look around instead, and you can turn motion access off at any time in your browser settings. Motion readings are used live on your device only and are never stored or sent.
• Sound. The site only plays audio. It never uses your microphone or camera.

Hosting

The site is hosted by Hostinger. Like every web host, its servers keep standard technical logs, such as IP address, browser type, the pages requested and the time, to run and protect the service. The site's fonts, images and 3D models are served from this site, not from outside services.

Why this information is used

• Your message: to answer you, because you asked me to.
• Spam protection and server logs: to keep the site and my inbox safe, a legitimate interest.
• Settings on your device: strictly needed for the features you choose to use.

No decisions are made about you automatically.

Your rights

Wherever you live, you can ask me what I have about you, ask me to correct it, or ask me to delete it. I will respond within 30 days.

In Europe and the UK, you also have the right to restrict or object to how your information is used, to receive a copy of it, and to withdraw consent at any time. You can also complain to the data protection authority where you live.

In California, you have the right to know what personal information is collected, to delete it and to correct it. I do not sell or share personal information, and you will never be treated differently for using your rights.

Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

Because nothing on this site tracks you, the site behaves the same whether or not your browser sends a Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signal.

Links to other sites

Links to sites such as LinkedIn take you to services with their own privacy policies.

Children

This site is not directed at children under 16, and I do not knowingly collect their information. If you believe a child has sent me a message, contact me and I will delete it.

Accessibility

Depth is an immersive 3D dive, and that brings real challenges for some visitors. I have worked to make it as usable as I can: you can swim with the arrow keys, the [ and ] keys step through the things you can open around you, the controls are labeled for screen readers, sound stays off until you turn it on, and Calm motion cuts the movement down. Accessibility is ongoing work. If something gets in your way, tell me through the contact form and I will do my best to fix it.

Changes

If this policy changes, I will update it here and change the date at the top.
