SafeBoat Privacy Policy
Effective Date: May 6, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how SafeBoat - Marine Weather handles information when you use the app. SafeBoat is designed as a boating decision-support tool for recreational boaters.
Information SafeBoat Uses
SafeBoat may use information you provide in the app, such as vessel type, vessel length, water type, experience level, saved boating spots, and comfort thresholds. This information is used to build a more relevant Boat Brief for your boating profile.
SafeBoat may also use your device location when you choose to allow location access. Location may be used to help identify nearby boating areas, weather context, radar context, or marine forecast conditions.

SafeBoat may request weather, radar, marine forecast, advisory, wind, gust, and wave information from third-party weather or marine data providers. These requests are used to provide app functionality.
How Information Is Used
Information is used to:
- Generate boating-specific Boat Brief guidance.
- Show Favorable, Caution, or Hazardous condition guidance.
- Estimate launch windows and return-by timing.
- Support alerts, saved locations, radar access, and shared briefs.
- Improve app functionality, reliability, and user experience.
Sharing
SafeBoat does not sell your personal information. SafeBoat may share information only as needed to provide app functionality, comply with legal obligations, or support services that power the app.
Tracking and Advertising
SafeBoat is not designed to track users across apps and websites owned by other companies for advertising purposes. If SafeBoat’s data practices change in the future, this Privacy Policy and the App Store privacy disclosures should be updated.
Data Storage
Some app settings or preferences may be stored on your device or in services used by the app. You may be able to delete app data by deleting the app from your device or by using controls provided inside the app.
Children’s Privacy
SafeBoat is intended for general recreational boating use and is not directed to children under 13.
