Centralised enquiries and applications
Expert and representative applications, artist and maker proposals, quotation requests and expressions of interest are recorded for review and follow-up by Blue Ocean coordination. The dashboard and its exports are restricted to authorised coordination. It distinguishes enquiries from unique contacts counted by email address. Google Forms Istanbul 2026 responses can be imported using their reference to prevent duplicates. Email and WhatsApp exchanges are not imported automatically. Applications and contact details from these forms are not published.
Team area and news
The team area is restricted to authorised accounts. Proposals, review notes, guidance and internal documents remain private. Representatives access their own proposals and resources shared with the whole team or their country; coordination reviews all entries. Approved announcements and photos become public. Contact coordination to request a correction or content removal.
Who to contact?

Blue Shop requests
We collect your name, email, delivery address and country, and selected products to respond to your request and prepare a proposal. No payment card details are collected. Requests are stored in the website database and accessible only to authorised coordination.
Professional projects
Projects can be submitted without an account. Your name and email are kept private for follow-up by Blue Ocean. A private code lets you retrieve your proposal; only its hash is stored. Project content becomes public only after approval; the submitter’s email and account identifier are not displayed in the public catalogue.
Email, WhatsApp and external forms
Email and WhatsApp buttons open those services so you can communicate with Blue Ocean. Istanbul 2026 expressions of interest can be submitted on Google Forms or through the website form; Rotterdam 2027 uses the website form. The Kribi map uses OpenStreetMap and loads external content when displayed. These services apply their own privacy terms.

Your browser may remember your language and basket product references and quantities. The basket does not store delivery contact details. You can empty it or clear website data in your browser. No advertising tool or external audience tracker has been added to this version.
Retention and your rights
Information is used to process and follow up your requests. A confirmed order subsequently falls under business records and applicable retention obligations.

Hosting and safeguards
The website is hosted on cloud infrastructure and uses a dedicated database. Connections use HTTPS. Management functions require an authorised identity; amounts are checked on the server.
