This Privacy Policy explains how MSSW Solutions Ltd (“we”, “us”) handles information in connection with the Boatie app. You can print this page from your browser if you want a copy.
Controller: MSSW Solutions Ltd, Forma House, 40 Bowling Green Lane, London, EC1R 0NE. Registered in England and Wales, Company No. 13010141. Contact: hello@msswsolutions.com.
What stays on your device
Boatie is designed so that most of what you use day to day stays under your control:
- Settings, recent ports, waypoints/GPX files, and similar app content are stored on your device and, if you enable sync, in your iCloud account. We do not operate a server that holds a copy of that content.
- Location and instrument data used for navigation features are processed on your device (and, if you connect one, via your own NMEA Wi‑Fi gateway). We do not receive a live feed of your position.
What we (or our providers) process
- Support email — if you contact us (including from the app), we receive the message and any contact details you include, and use them only to reply. Email is hosted on Microsoft 365.
- Purchases and subscriptions — Apple handles payment. We use RevenueCat with a pseudonymous app user id and purchase/receipt metadata so we can unlock and restore purchases. 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 include it in a support request.
- Usage analytics — we use Amplitude for anonymous feature-usage tracking (for example, which screens or features are used), to improve the app. Those events are not linked to you as a person, so we cannot look them up for a specific user.
- Diagnostics you send us — if you choose to send a diagnostic or crash-style report when we ask, we use it only to investigate and fix problems.
Tide, weather and charts
Tide, weather and chart information shown in the app comes from third-party data sources and Apple frameworks. Those providers may process technical requests needed to deliver that information. That content is for information only (see our Terms).
How long we keep information
Support emails and any diagnostics you send are kept only as long as needed to deal with your request and related records. Purchase/entitlement metadata is kept as needed to provide and restore purchases. Content on your device or in your iCloud is under your control.
Providers we use
- RevenueCat — privacy policy
- Amplitude — privacy policy
- Microsoft (email hosting) — privacy policy
Apple also processes information as needed for the App Store, In‑App Purchases, iCloud (if you enable it), and system frameworks used by the app, under Apple’s terms and privacy notices.
Sharing
We use the providers above only to run Boatie and support you. We do not sell your personal information.
Your choices and rights
You can manage purchases in your Apple Account settings and control iCloud and location permissions in system settings. For access, correction, or deletion requests about personal information we hold and can identify as relating to you (for example support email), contact hello@msswsolutions.com. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
Changes
We may update this page from time to time. The effective date below will change when we do.
