OffshoreIQ
Privacy Policy
Effective October 16, 2026
OffshoreIQ shows ocean conditions like sea surface temperature and chlorophyll to help you plan time on the water. We collect as little as we can, we don't sell your information, and the spots you save stay on your device.
This policy explains what information the OffshoreIQ app (“the app”) uses, why, and the choices you have.
Information that stays on your device
Saved spots and notes. Locations you save and notes you add are stored on your device. We don't receive them. Deleting the app deletes them.
Your location. If you allow location access, the app uses your device's location to show where you are on the map. Your location is used on your device and is not sent to us.
App settings. Preferences such as which layers you have turned on are stored on your device.
Information our servers receive
To show ocean data, the app downloads map layers from our servers. Like most online services, our servers and hosting providers automatically record basic request information, such as IP address, device and app version, and the time of the request. We use this only to deliver data, keep the service secure, and fix problems, and we keep it for a limited time.
Third-party services
The app relies on a few outside services. Each handles information under its own privacy policy.
- Mapbox provides the base map. Mapbox may collect device information and usage data, including approximate location, to operate and improve its maps. See the Mapbox Privacy Policy.
- Apple distributes the app. If you test the app through TestFlight, Apple may share crash reports, usage data, and any feedback you choose to send with us. See Apple's Privacy Policy.
- Cloudflare hosts this website and may process basic request information to deliver and protect it. See the Cloudflare Privacy Policy.
What we don't do
- We don't sell or rent your personal information.
- We don't use your information for advertising or track you across other companies' apps and websites.
- We don't require an account to use the app today.
Future accounts and subscriptions
We plan to add optional accounts and paid subscriptions. Payments will be handled by Apple through the App Store; we won't see your card details. Before accounts launch, we'll update this policy to explain what account information we collect and how it's stored.
Your choices
- Turn location access on or off at any time in your device's Settings.
- Delete saved spots in the app, or delete the app to remove all data stored on your device.
- Contact us to ask about, or request deletion of, any information we hold about you.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we'll update the effective date above. For significant changes, we'll also let you know in the app.
