What stays on your device
Boatie Logbook is built offline-first. In normal use:
- Passage logs, crew details you enter, GPS tracks, checklists, maintenance notes, Insights and similar logbook content are stored on your device and, if you enable sync, in your iCloud account. We do not host a copy of your logbook on our own servers.
- Photos attached to log entries and on-device dictation stay on your device (dictation is not sent to us).
- Optional instrument data (NMEA / SignalK / AIS) is received by your device from your boat network or gateway — not via us.
If you use crew sharing (join codes or QR), information is shared between the devices/accounts of the people you choose to involve. You control who you invite and what you share.
What we (or our providers) process
- Support email — if you contact us, we receive what you send. Email is hosted on Microsoft 365. Not used for marketing.
- Purchases and subscriptions — payments are handled by Apple. We use RevenueCat with a pseudonymous app user id and purchase/receipt metadata to unlock and restore Basic (one-time) purchases and Extended/Premium subscriptions. We do not receive your Apple ID or payment card details. That id is only linked to you as a person if you choose to share it in a support request.
- Anonymous usage analytics — we use Amplitude solely for anonymous feature-usage tracking. Not for advertising or marketing profiles.
- Optional diagnostics — if you agree to send a diagnostic report when asked, we use it only to fix problems.
Maps and weather
Depending on your plan, the app may show maps (including Mapbox-backed views) and weather information (including Apple Weather / WeatherKit, and Open-Meteo for wave height and swell). Those features need network access to work. We do not use them to sell your personal information. Map and weather content is informational only (see our Terms).

Sharing
We do not sell your personal information or use it for advertising. Providers above are used only to run the app and support you. Crew sharing is between users you involve — not a transfer to us.

You can manage purchases in your Apple Account settings, decline optional diagnostics, and control iCloud and permissions in iOS/iPadOS Settings. Questions: hello@msswsolutions.com.
