Coordinate Rounding
Every coordinate returned by the Oceanir API is rounded to a 100m grid by default. This guarantees that precise locations are never exposed, even if the API response is intercepted or logged.
How it works
Raw coordinates are snapped to the nearest point on a 100m grid. The rounding is deterministic — the same input always produces the same rounded output — but irreversible: there is no way to recover the precise original location from the rounded value alone.

| Decimal places | Approx. precision | Use case |
|---|---|---|
| 4 | ~11m | Not available (too precise) |
| 3 | ~111m | Default — 100m grid |
| 2 | ~1.1km | High-privacy mode |
Enterprise override
Enterprise customers with specific regulatory requirements can request higher precision (4 decimal places) with documented justification. This is not available on self-serve plans.
