Privacy policy
Last updated: 14 October 2026. This policy describes information handled through HowItWorks3D, operated by Oracto. Contact: info@oracto.com.
Browsing the website
You do not need an account to use the site. Your browser requests pages, scripts and 3D assets from our hosting service, Cloudflare. Delivering and protecting the site involves processing connection information such as your IP address, requested address, browser information and request time. Hosting providers may process operational logs for delivery, security and abuse prevention.
Analytics and browser storage
We have not added an analytics service to this website. The current site code does not use analytics or advertising cookies for its own tracking. Your browser may cache site resources, and the hosting service may use technologies needed for security or delivery. We will update this policy if our data practices change.
Weather and location
The weather explorer requests browser location permission. When allowed, coordinates rounded to two decimal places are sent to Open-Meteo to retrieve your local forecast; that service also receives connection information such as your IP address. Your forecast and location are cached in local storage for reuse for up to 20 minutes across visits and tabs. The cached record remains on your device until replaced or cleared, but expired forecasts are not reused. Local storage also saves your temperature unit preference and request cooldown timestamps to reduce repeated API calls. You can revoke location permission and clear stored data in your browser settings. Opening the weather explorer automatically requests your location. Your browser asks for permission if you have not already made a choice; an existing permission decision is respected.
Weather learning progress and observations
Weather Lab saves completed lessons and any forecast snapshots or observations you choose to record in this browser’s local storage. Saved comparisons include the forecast time, approximate location and your entered observation. This notebook is not uploaded to us or shared with other visitors. You can delete individual notebook entries, reset learning progress, or clear site storage in your browser. If browser storage is unavailable, progress and entries last only for the current visit.
Email correspondence
If you email us, we receive your email address, your message and any attachments you send. We use that information to respond, investigate problems and handle requests. Our email provider processes messages as part of delivery and storage. Keep sensitive information out of bug reports. We retain correspondence only as needed for these purposes and applicable obligations; contact us to request deletion.
Advertising and Google AdSense
The site has applied for Google AdSense. Approval and ad serving are not currently active in the site configuration. If Google ads are enabled, Google and advertising partners may place or read cookies or use web beacons, IP addresses and other identifiers to deliver, measure and protect ads. These services may process information about visits to this and other websites for personalized advertising where permitted and consented to. Required notices and consent controls will be configured before personalized ads are enabled in regions that require them.
Your choices
You can control cookies and clear cached data through your browser settings. When applicable advertising consent controls are available, you can use them to give or withdraw consent. You may email info@oracto.com to request access, correction or deletion of information you have provided to Oracto. Rights and exceptions depend on your location and the circumstances.
Service providers and international processing
Hosting, email and any future advertising providers may process information in countries outside your own. Information is shared with service providers as needed to deliver their services, or where required for legal obligations or protection against abuse. We do not sell email correspondence.
Changes and questions
We will revise this page when our practices change and update the date above. For questions about this policy or your information, contact info@oracto.com.
