Privacy Policy

Who we are

AquaNet ("we", "us") operates the aquaculture curriculum hub at aquanetca.org and aquanetca.com. We build software for faculty at colleges and universities teaching aquaculture and related disciplines.

What we collect

• Account information: name, email, institution, title, and optional profile details (bio, website, ORCID, photo, phone).
• Curriculum content you share: courses, files, notes, topics, and folders you create.
• Usage data: pages visited and basic browser/device info used for diagnostics. We do not sell this data.
• Feedback: messages you submit through the in-app feedback tool.

How we use it

• To operate the directory and curriculum hub — sign you in, display approved faculty profiles, and host shared content.
• To improve the product and triage bugs.
• To respond to support requests and account-related communications.

How we store and protect it

Data is stored on Lovable Cloud (managed Postgres + storage) with row-level security enforced per user. Email and phone are only visible to the profile owner and site admins; other authenticated faculty see profile cards without personal contact details. All traffic is served over HTTPS.

Sharing

We do not sell personal data. We share data only with the infrastructure providers we depend on to run the service (Lovable Cloud / Supabase for hosting and database, Cloudflare for edge delivery), and with services you explicitly connect (e.g., Google Drive for importing curriculum files).

Cookies and tracking

We use a first-party session cookie for authentication. We do not use third-party advertising trackers.

Your rights

You can request a copy of your account data or deletion of your account at any time by emailing the address below.

Children

AquaNet is intended for use by faculty, instructors, and adult students at post-secondary institutions. It is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect information from them.

Changes

We will post material changes to this policy on this page and update the "Last updated" date.
