This Privacy Policy describes how Rhumbline Maritime LLC ("Rhumbline Maritime," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you use MySailingPlan and our related website and services (the "Service"). Rhumbline Maritime is operated in the United States and is intended for users located in the United States. By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy.
1. Information We Collect
Information you provide
We collect information you provide directly when you use the Service, including:
- Account information — your name and email address when you create an account, including when you sign in with Google.
- Boat and trip information — details about your boat (such as name, type, dimensions, and draft), sail inventory, home port or marina, and trip and sailing plans you create.
- Payment information — if you subscribe to a paid plan, your payment is processed by our payment provider, Stripe. We do not store your full card number or other sensitive payment details on our servers; we receive limited information such as your subscription status and the last four digits of your card.
- Communications — information you provide when you contact us for support or otherwise correspond with us.
Information collected automatically
- Usage and location queries — the locations, stations, and date ranges you query for weather, tide, and sailing conditions, and how you interact with the Service.
- Device and log data — your IP address, browser type, device information, referring pages, and timestamps, collected automatically by our servers and infrastructure providers.
- Cookies — we use cookies to keep you signed in and to operate the Service. See Cookies and Similar Technologies below.
Information from third parties
If you sign in with Google, we receive basic profile information (such as your name and email address) from Google in accordance with the permissions you grant. We also retrieve publicly available weather, tide, and current data from sources such as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to provide the Service; this data is not personal to you.
2. How We Use Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide, operate, and maintain the Service, including generating boat-specific sailing conditions, forecasts, and planning tools;
- Create and manage your account and authenticate your sign-in;
- Process subscriptions and payments and manage billing;
- Respond to your requests and provide customer support;
- Monitor, secure, and improve the Service, including detecting and preventing fraud and abuse;
- Send you service-related communications, such as account, billing, and security notices; and
- Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.
3. How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information. We share information only in the following circumstances:
- Service providers — with third parties that perform services on our behalf, such as payment processing (Stripe), authentication (Google), bot and abuse protection (Cloudflare Turnstile), and cloud hosting and infrastructure (Amazon Web Services). These providers may access information only to perform their services for us.
- Legal and safety reasons — when we believe disclosure is necessary to comply with applicable law, legal process, or a governmental request, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Rhumbline Maritime, our users, or others.
- Business transfers — in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
- With your consent — when you direct us to share information or otherwise consent to sharing.
4. Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies that are necessary to operate the Service. In particular, we use a signed session cookie to keep you securely signed in and to protect against cross-site request forgery. We do not use cookies for third-party advertising. You can control cookies through your browser settings, but disabling them may prevent you from signing in or using parts of the Service.
5. Data Retention
We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. We may retain certain information after account closure as required to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent abuse, and enforce our agreements. When information is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to delete or de-identify it.
6. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your information, including encrypted connections and hashed passwords. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
