Privacy Policy

Overview

This website (burakoktenli.com) is a personal research portfolio. It is designed to be privacy-respecting by default. This policy explains what information is and is not collected when you visit.

Data We Do Not Collect

This website does not:

• Use cookies of any kind (no session, tracking, or third-party cookies)
• Use analytics services (no Google Analytics, no tracking pixels, no telemetry)
• Collect personal information through forms or sign-ups
• Store any user data on servers or databases
• Use advertising networks or ad trackers
• Implement fingerprinting or behavioral tracking

Hosting and Server Logs

This site is hosted on Netlify. Like all web servers, Netlify may automatically collect standard server log information including IP addresses, browser type, referring pages, and timestamps. This data is managed by Netlify under their own privacy policy and is not accessed or processed by the site owner.

External Links

This site contains links to external services including Zenodo, SSRN, Google Scholar, ORCID, LinkedIn, and Georgetown University. Each of these services operates under its own privacy policy. Clicking an external link will take you to a third-party site that may collect data according to its own terms.

Interactive Simulations

The governance simulations on this site run entirely in your browser (client-side JavaScript). No simulation data, inputs, or results are transmitted to any server. All computation occurs locally on your device.

Third-Party Resources

This site loads fonts from Google Fonts and JavaScript libraries from Cloudflare CDN. These services may log standard request data under their respective privacy policies. No other third-party resources are loaded.

Terms of Use

Acceptance

By accessing this website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

Intellectual Property

All content on this website — including text, architecture designs, system specifications, simulation code, diagrams, images, and documentation — is the original work of Burak Oktenli unless otherwise noted. This content is protected by copyright and, where applicable, by pending U.S. patent applications.

Licensing

Research artifacts published on Zenodo are made available under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) license. You are free to share and adapt these materials for any purpose, including commercially, provided you give appropriate credit.

Content on this website that is not separately published on Zenodo under CC BY 4.0 remains under standard copyright. You may view and reference it for personal, academic, and non-commercial use. Reproduction, redistribution, or commercial use requires written permission.

Patent Notice

Four U.S. provisional patent applications have been filed covering the HMAA, CARA, SATA, and FLAME architectures. The governance architectures described on this site may be subject to patent protection. Use of the described methods in commercial products may require a license.

Permitted Use

• Viewing the site and its contents for personal reference
• Academic citation and discussion of the research
• Downloading CC BY 4.0 licensed artifacts from Zenodo with proper attribution
• Running the interactive simulations in your browser
• Linking to any page on this site

Prohibited Use

• Reproducing website content without attribution or permission
• Misrepresenting authorship of the research or architectures
• Using the site content to train machine learning models without permission
• Scraping or automated bulk downloading of site content
• Using the site or its content for any unlawful purpose

Modifications

These terms may be updated at any time. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

Disclaimer

Research Materials

The content on this website represents ongoing research and is provided for informational and academic purposes. The governance architectures, hardware specifications, simulations, and analysis presented here are research artifacts — they are not certified products, operational systems, or commercial offerings.

No Warranty

All materials are provided "as is" without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. The author does not warrant that the simulations, specifications, or analyses are error-free or suitable for any specific application.

Evidence Limitations

As stated throughout this site, the current evidence base is strongest in architecture design, simulation, and formal structure. The author does not claim field readiness, operational certification, completed hardware validation, full compliance with defense or aviation standards, or production deployment maturity.

Not Professional Advice

Nothing on this website constitutes engineering, legal, defense procurement, or investment advice. Readers should consult qualified professionals before making decisions based on information presented here.

Hardware Specifications

Bill of materials, component specifications, and cost estimates are provided for research documentation purposes. Actual procurement costs, availability, and ITAR/export control requirements may differ from what is documented. Some components (particularly M-Code GPS receivers and link encryptors) are controlled items requiring appropriate procurement channels.

Simulation Accuracy

The interactive simulations are simplified models designed to demonstrate governance pipeline behavior. They are not high-fidelity system simulations and should not be used for operational planning, system validation, or safety-critical decision-making.

Limitation of Liability

In no event shall the author be liable for any damages arising from the use of or inability to use this website or its contents, including but not limited to direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages.

Academic Affiliation

The author is a student at Georgetown University (M.P.S. Applied Intelligence). The views, research, and conclusions presented on this site are the author's own and do not represent the positions or endorsement of Georgetown University or any other institution.
