Privacy Policy

The OKN project is committed to transparency about how we handle your data. In short: we do not sell, share, or monetize any data you provide.

What we collect

Queries and results

When you submit a query through the search interface, we log the query text and the results returned. We use this information solely for quality assurance purposes — to understand how the system is being used, identify areas for improvement, and ensure the accuracy of results. We do not associate queries with individual users or use this data for any commercial purpose.

Feedback

If you choose to submit feedback (for example, rating a result as helpful or unhelpful), we collect that feedback and may use it exclusively to improve the quality of the service.

What we do not do

• We do not sell or share your data with third parties.
• We do not create user profiles or track individuals across sessions.
• We do not use your data for advertising or marketing.
• We do not store personal information unless you explicitly provide it.

Cookies and tracking

This site does not use tracking cookies or third-party analytics. We may use minimal session-level storage to maintain your connection to the service during a single visit.

Data retention

Query logs and feedback data are retained for the purpose of improving the service and may be used in aggregate for research publications related to the OKN project. Individual queries are not published or disclosed.

Contact

If you have questions about this privacy policy or how your data is handled, please contact the OKN project team through the Proto-OKN website.
