Privacy Policy

Information We Collect

Payment details such as full card numbers are processed by our billing providers, including Stripe, Apple App Store, or Google Play, depending on where you subscribe.

How We Use Your Information

• To provide and maintain our dive logging service
• To authenticate your account and keep it secure
• To sync your dive data across devices
• To manage Premium trials, Free plan usage, paid subscriptions, and billing status
• To provide recommendations, reminders, search, and planning using Dive Track catalog information
• To create aggregated or de-identified insights, statistics, and datasets that improve Dive Track and its catalogs
• To send you important service updates and notifications
• To improve our application based on usage patterns

Aggregated and De-Identified Information

We may use data from user activity and records to create aggregated or de-identified statistics, insights, and datasets, such as dive-site popularity, average depth, average dive duration, visibility or temperature trends, common gear setups, training patterns, sea-life sightings, gear-service timing, product demand, and product usage trends. We use this information to improve recommendations, maintain catalogs, publish site-level or catalog-level statistics, understand demand, support environmental research, and develop business relationships.

We may share, license, sell, or otherwise provide aggregated or de-identified information to researchers, conservation organizations, public agencies, dive shops, training agencies, equipment brands, travel partners, advertisers, or other industry participants when it cannot reasonably identify, relate to, or be linked to an individual user. We do not share identifiable dive logs, exact private trip details, media, contact information, or account-level profiles with advertisers or partners unless you choose to share them, direct us to do so, or give us consent.

For environmental observations, such as sea-life sightings, we may generalize, withhold, or restrict exact location, timestamp, or sighting details before sharing or publishing them when the information could create conservation, safety, site-access, or species-protection risk. When we maintain information as de-identified, we commit to maintaining and using it in de-identified form and not attempting to re-identify it except to test our de-identification safeguards.

Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored on secure servers with encryption at rest and in transit. We use industry-standard security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access.

Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information or identifiable dive profile. We may share data with:

Certifications are Public by default when you add them, and you can make any certification Private. Public certifications may show the training agency, certification level, issue or expiration dates, and primary status on your profile to other Dive Track users. Private card details such as identification numbers, birth dates, card images, instructor information, and facility details are not included in that profile summary.

• Service providers who help us operate our application, such as cloud hosting and email services
• Payment and app-store providers that process paid subscriptions, renewals, cancellations, and receipts
• Researchers, conservation organizations, public agencies, partners, advertisers, or industry participants only in aggregated or de-identified form that does not identify you
• Law enforcement when required by law
• Other Dive Track users for certification summaries set to Public and for dive information you explicitly choose to share

Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access your personal data
• Correct inaccurate data
• Delete your account and associated data
• Export your dive data
• Withdraw consent for optional data collection, such as location or microphone access

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
