Buoy Pilot Privacy Policy

Buoy Pilot is a product of Elk Ridge Systems LLC. This policy explains how we handle information collected through the Buoy Pilot app and related websites.

Information We Collect

Depending on how the app is used, we may collect account details, display names, app usage information, device information, location data, photos submitted by users, lake obstruction marker details, votes, reports, and support messages.

How We Use Information

We use information to provide and improve Buoy Pilot, support accounts, save and sync user-submitted markers, estimate and review obstruction locations, moderate community features, respond to support requests, and maintain reliable service operation.

Location And Photos

Buoy Pilot may use location data and photos when a user chooses to collect, estimate, or submit a lake obstruction marker. These inputs help place and verify marker information. Users should avoid submitting photos that contain sensitive personal information.

Shared Marker Data

Obstruction markers, lake names, hazard details, votes, and related community information may be visible to other Buoy Pilot users when those features are available.

Sharing

We do not sell personal information. We may share information with service providers that help us operate the app, comply with legal requirements, protect rights and safety, or support features where user-submitted marker information is intended to be visible to others.

Data Retention

We keep information for as long as needed to provide Buoy Pilot, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and maintain service integrity. Users may contact us to request account or data assistance.

Children

Buoy Pilot is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Security

We use reasonable safeguards to protect information, but no internet or mobile service can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Changes

We may update this policy as the product changes. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised date.
