This Privacy Policy explains how WhaleWatch Analytics ("WhaleWatch," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, stores, and protects your personal information when you use our website, applications, and related services (collectively, "the Service").
We collect the following types of information:
We use the information we collect to:
We process personal data based on one or more of the following legal grounds: (a) performance of a contract with you, (b) your consent, (c) our legitimate interests in operating and improving the Service, and (d) compliance with legal obligations.
We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. You may delete your account at any time; deletion requests are processed within 30 days, subject to legal retention requirements. Anonymized or aggregated data may be retained for analytics purposes.
We use trusted third-party service providers to operate the Service. These may include hosting and database services (Supabase), payment processing (Stripe), email delivery, and analytics. We do not sell your personal data. Each subprocessor is contractually bound to use your data only for the purpose of providing services to WhaleWatch.
We use essential cookies and browser local storage for authentication, session management, and UI preferences. We do not use third-party advertising cookies or trackers. For more details, please see our Cookie Policy.
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or export your personal data. You may also withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. To exercise these rights, contact us at support@whalewatch.app. We will respond within 30 days.
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your data. However, no internet transmission or storage system is completely secure. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials.
The Service is not intended for individuals under the age of 21. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If we learn that we have collected data from a child under 21, we will delete it promptly.
Your data may be stored and processed in the United States or other countries where our subprocessors operate. By using the Service, you consent to the transfer of your data to these locations.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by email or by posting a notice on the Service. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
