Other Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies:

  • Local Storage: Stored directly in your browser to save client-side data such as theme settings or temporary form input.
  • Server Logs: Store device and IP information to analyze usage and prevent abuse.

Third-Party Services

We may integrate with third-party services that use their own tracking technologies. These services may include:

  • Discord: Used for authentication and role verification via OAuth2. Discord may log access tokens and IP addresses during login.
  • Steam: Used to verify user identities through Steam64 ID integration.
  • Google reCAPTCHA: Protects forms against spam bots using behavioral tracking.
  • Analytics Providers: We may use services such as Google Analytics to collect traffic data. Any data shared is aggregated and non-identifiable.

Your Control Over Cookies

You can control how cookies are used through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

  • Block all cookies
  • Clear existing cookies
  • Receive a warning before cookies are stored

Note: Disabling essential cookies may prevent you from using some features of the website, such as login or submitting support requests.


Do Not Track (DNT) Signals

Your browser may support a “Do Not Track” setting. As there is no uniform DNT standard, we do not currently respond to these signals, but you may opt out of analytics using the cookie banner or browser add-ons.


If you have questions about our use of cookies or your privacy, please contact us.

Security of Your Personal Data

We are committed to protecting your personal data and maintaining high standards of security and transparency. While no online service can guarantee absolute protection, we implement safeguards that align with established data protection frameworks such as the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) and CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act).


Our current privacy and data security practices include:

  • Cookie Consent: We use a cookie consent banner that allows users to accept or decline non-essential cookies in compliance with privacy standards.
  • Right to Erasure: You may request the deletion of your personal data at any time by contacting us at support@oceancrestliferp.com.

  • HTTPS Encryption: All communication with our website is encrypted via SSL/TLS (HTTPS).
  • Access Control: Staff access to personal data is limited based on roles and tracked through internal systems.

We review our data handling practices regularly and implement appropriate updates to ensure continued compliance and user trust. Although we do not fall under direct regulatory enforcement of GDPR or CCPA, we voluntarily adopt key protections as a matter of best practice and community accountability.


If you have any concerns about how your information is secured, or believe your data may have been accessed inappropriately, please reach out to us at support@oceancrestliferp.com.


Children's Privacy

Oceancrest LifeRP is not intended for use by individuals under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are under 13, please do not use our services, submit applications, or provide any personal data.


If we become aware that we have unintentionally collected personal information from a child under 13 without verified parental consent, we will promptly delete that data from our records.


Parents or legal guardians who believe their child has submitted personal data to us without proper authorization are encouraged to contact us at support@oceancrestliferp.com so we can investigate and take appropriate action.
