Privacy Policy

1. Overview

MYO_Geo_Orgs ("we", "our", "the platform") is an independent engineering initiative providing geotechnical calculation tools via myogeo.org and the MyoGeo web application. We are committed to handling any information you provide with care and transparency.

This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding it.

2. Data We Collect

We collect the minimum data necessary to operate the platform:

• Calculation inputs — values you enter into engineering tools (soil parameters, test data). These are used only to compute your results.
• Usage data — basic, anonymised information such as browser type and page visits, collected via standard web analytics.
• Contact data — if you email us at [email protected], we receive your email address and message content.

3. How We Use Your Data

• To process and return engineering calculations in real time
• To improve the platform based on anonymised usage patterns
• To respond to enquiries sent to our support email

We do not use your data for advertising, profiling, or any purpose beyond operating and improving the platform.

4. Data Storage & Retention

Calculation inputs are processed in memory and are not stored on our servers after your session ends. We do not maintain a database of user-submitted engineering data.

Anonymised analytics data may be retained for up to 12 months for platform improvement purposes.

5. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share your data with third parties, except:

• Service providers necessary to operate the platform (e.g., hosting infrastructure), who are bound by confidentiality obligations
• When required by law or a valid legal order

6. Security

All communication between your browser and the platform is encrypted via HTTPS (TLS). We apply standard security practices to protect the platform and any data that passes through it.

No system is completely immune to risk. If you discover a security issue, please report it to [email protected].

7. Cookies

The platform may use minimal, functional cookies required for the site to operate correctly (e.g., session state). We do not use tracking or advertising cookies.

8. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Request confirmation of what data (if any) we hold about you
• Request deletion of any personal data associated with your contact
• Withdraw consent for any processing where consent is the legal basis

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected].

9. Children

This platform is intended for engineering professionals, students, and researchers. We do not knowingly collect data from children under the age of 13.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use of the platform after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
