Swell & Road ("we", "us") keeps care records for boats and trailers and runs care plans for boats in Dana Point Harbor. This policy explains what we collect, why, who can see it, and the choices you have.

What we collect

Your account: your email address, which you use to sign in with a one-time code.
Your boat and trailer: the profile you or our team fill in, such as builder, model, hull identification number, registration and documentation numbers, engines and serial numbers, equipment, marina and slip.
Care records: visit checklists, results, readings (such as battery voltage and engine hours), notes, photos, service history, work orders, quotes and messages.
Documents you upload: receipts, registrations, insurance policies and declarations pages, and copies of licenses and certifications (such as a captain's license, fishing license or CPR/AED card).
Float plans: trip details, the people aboard, and the names, phone numbers and email addresses of the shore contacts you choose.
Early access requests: the name, email, phone number and boat details you send us from our website.
Technical information: a sign-in cookie that keeps you signed in, and standard server logs such as IP address and browser type. For the early access form we keep a one-way hash of your IP address only to limit repeated submissions.

How we use it

To run the app and your care plan: build checklists for your equipment, record each visit and send you the results.
To email you sign-in codes, visit reports, storm check notices and maintenance and renewal reminders. You can turn reminder and report emails off on your account page; sign-in codes always send.
To send a float plan, but only when you choose to send it, and only to the contacts you pick.
To answer early access requests and questions.
To keep the service secure, such as limiting sign-in attempts.

We do not sell your information, share it for advertising, or use advertising or tracking cookies.

Who can see it

You, and anyone you add to your boat as a co-owner.
Our team, to look after your boat.
Vendors you work with through us see only the jobs assigned to them, not your full records.
Your licenses, certifications and their photos are visible only to you. Insurance documents are never shared with vendors and are left out of the sale packet you can create when selling your boat.
Service providers that run the app for us: Cloudflare (hosting, database and file storage) and Resend (email delivery). When we add online payments, our payment processor will handle card and bank details directly; we will not store them.
We may disclose information if the law requires it, or to protect someone's safety.

How long we keep it

We keep your records while you have an account so your boat's history stays complete. If you ask us to delete your account, we delete your information within 30 days, except records we must keep by law, such as billing records.

Your choices and rights

See, download or correct your records in the app. Owners can export their boat's records at any time.
Ask us to delete your account and information.
Turn report and reminder emails on or off.
California residents have the right to know what personal information we collect and how we use it, to ask us to delete or correct it, and not to be treated differently for using these rights. We do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined in California law.

To make a request, email harborcareapp@gmail.com. We may need to confirm it is you.

Security

Sign-in codes are single-use and stored only as hashes. Data is sent over encrypted connections. Access is limited by role so each person sees only what they need. No system is perfectly secure, so please tell us right away if you think your account has been misused.

Children

Swell & Road is for adults and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect children's information, other than names of people aboard that an adult enters in a float plan.

Changes

If we change this policy in a meaningful way, we will update the date above and let account holders know by email or in the app.
