Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

HullKeeper ("we," "our," or "us") provides a boat maintenance tracking application (the "Service"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our website, mobile application, and related services.

2. Information We Collect

Account Information

When you create an account, we collect your:

• Name
• Email address
• Password (stored as a one-way cryptographic hash)

If you sign in with a third-party provider (Google or Apple), we receive your name and email address from that provider. We do not receive or store your third-party password.

Boat and Maintenance Data

We collect information you provide about your boats, including:

• Boat specifications (hull make/model, engine details, drivetrain configuration)
• Maintenance records and service history
• Engine hours and operational data
• Documents you upload (registration, insurance, manuals, surveys)

Automatically Collected Information

When you use the Service, we may automatically collect:

• Device type, operating system, and browser type
• IP address and approximate location
• Usage patterns and feature interactions

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide, operate, and maintain the Service
• Generate and manage maintenance schedules for your boats
• Store and organise your boat documents
• Authenticate your identity and secure your account
• Send service-related notifications (e.g., maintenance reminders)
• Improve and develop the Service
• Respond to your requests and support inquiries

4. AI-Generated Content

HullKeeper uses third-party AI services to generate maintenance schedules based on your boat configuration. When you request schedule generation, your boat specifications (make, model, engine type, etc.) are sent to our AI provider to research OEM maintenance intervals. No personally identifiable information (name, email, etc.) is included in these requests.

5. Information Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information with:

• Service providers: Third-party vendors that help us operate the Service (hosting, authentication, file storage, AI processing)
• Legal requirements: When required by law, regulation, or legal process
• Business transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets

6. Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored on servers provided by Supabase and other cloud infrastructure providers. We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your information, including encryption in transit (TLS) and at rest. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure.

7. Data Retention

We retain your account data and boat information for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will delete or anonymise your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Correct inaccurate or incomplete data
• Delete your account and associated data
• Export your data in a portable format
• Object to or restrict certain processing of your data

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected].

9. Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will delete that information promptly.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
