BlueNav Privacy Policy

Last updated: 05/11/2026

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how BlueNav ("the App") handles information when you use it.

2. Information we collect

The App connects to your BlueNav system over Bluetooth.

If you allow notifications, the App registers this phone for that boat. BlueNav then stores:

• a random identifier created for this installation of the App;
• the push notification token;
• the operating system (iOS or Android);
• the language reported by the App;
• the Bluetooth name of the phone, read by the boat during the connection;
• the date of the last registration.

The App does not collect your name, email address, or location for identification, tracking, or marketing. The Bluetooth name may be a name you chose for your phone.

3. How we use information

Data accessed by the App is used to:

• connect to the BlueNav system via Bluetooth;
• read system data (for example navigation or propulsion status);
• send commands (for example anchor, heading, or speed control);
• send that boat's alerts to the phones registered for it, for example if the boat leaves the safe anchor zone.

If you refuse notifications, the phone is not registered and no alert is sent to it.

4. Data storage and sharing

The registration is stored by BlueNav in the European Union and linked to the boat. It is kept while the phone remains registered to receive that boat's alerts. You can ask us to delete it.

Alerts are delivered through Expo, which forwards them to Apple or Google. Expo receives the push token and the text of the notification. Bluetooth commands and system data stay between the App and the boat.

This data is not used for marketing.

5. Permissions

The App may request the following permissions:

• Bluetooth access: required to communicate with the BlueNav system.
• Location permission: may be required by your device's operating system to enable Bluetooth. The App does not use it to track your position.
• Notifications: optional. Used only to receive alerts from the boat.

6. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted within the App or on an official BlueNav page.
