Privacy Policy

Data we collect

• Account data: email, password hash, optional name, subscription status, timestamps.
• Billing: payments are processed by Stripe on the web. Mobile Pro uses Apple App Store / Google Play Billing via RevenueCat. We store subscription status and provider on your BoatCast account; card details stay with Stripe or the app stores.
• Favorites: place name, coordinates, and related labels you save (Pro).
• Location usage: searches and map selections you make to fetch weather. Precise GPS, when you grant it, is used to center the map / request a forecast for that moment; we do not keep a long-term location history product feature. Weather responses are cached by approximate zone (~10 mi), not as a personal timeline.
• Email: transactional messages (signup, password reset, Pro welcome/cancel/resubscribe) via Resend when configured.
• Local device storage: session cookie (boatcast_session), mobile auth token, and short-lived client weather-zone cache.
• Third parties: Open-Meteo (forecast), OpenStreetMap Nominatim (geocoding), RainViewer (radar), National Weather Service (alerts), optional satellite SST providers, Stripe (payments), Resend (email). Ads (if shown on free tier) may process limited device/usage data under their own policies.

Retention

• Account and favorites: until you delete the account (then retained up to 90 days for recovery/billing, then purged) or request deletion by email.
• Password-reset tokens: short-lived until used or expired.
• Server weather/geocode caches: minutes to hours (see How it works); not used as a personal profile.

Your choices

• Delete your account in the app (Account → Delete account), use boatcastapp.com/delete-account, or email support@boatcastapp.com. Deleting your account schedules removal after a 90-day grace period (sign in again to restore). Stripe Pro subscriptions are canceled when deletion starts; the BoatCast profile and favorites are purged after the grace period.
• Privacy or data requests (including applicable state privacy rights): email support@boatcastapp.com with the address on your account.
• You may disable location permission; search and map still work.

International processing

Infrastructure may run in the United States (for example Vercel, Supabase, Upstash, Stripe, Resend). If you access BoatCast from elsewhere, your information may be processed in the U.S.
