The Polar View website logs your IP address which is automatically recognised by the web server.
We do not track any individual people. As a visitor to the www.polarview.aq website, no personal information is collected. No information is shared with, sent to, or sold to third parties.
This privacy policy only covers the Polar View website (pages at the web address www.polarview.aq). Links within this site to other websites are not covered by this policy.
If you email us, the information you provide will only be used to answer your query. It will only be accessed by the British Antarctic Survey Mapping and Geographic Information Centre (BAS MAGIC), and your personal information will not appear in any material published externally.
BAS is part of the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), within UK Research and Innovation (UKRI). Their privacy notice can be found at www.ukri.org/who-we-are/privacy-notice/.
Cookies are small files that a website places on your device, for example a computer or mobile phone. This website sets two cookies, and only to remember choices you make. They do not contain any personal information, and they are not used to track you. If you choose not to accept cookies, you can still use everything on this website; your choices will not be remembered between visits.
You can manage cookies yourself and learn more about them through the Information Commissioner's Office guide to cookies and www.aboutcookies.org.
The website optionally saves the user's choice of web interface - low-bandwidth or high-bandwidth option. This is a choice a user can make on the landing page when calling www.polarview.aq.
The map saves that the user has ticked "Don't show this again" on its welcome window, so the window is not shown on later visits.
We use Plausible Analytics to count visits and see which pages are used, so we can keep the service working well for the people who rely on it. Plausible does not set cookies and does not collect personal information; it reports only totals.
