Privacy Policy

SeaPath is a professional career management platform for seafarers. It is operated by SEAPATH LIMITED, a company registered in the United Kingdom. References to "we", "us" and "our" in this policy mean SEAPATH LIMITED.

For questions about this policy or your data, contact us at: hello@seapath.app

We collect information you provide when creating an account and using SeaPath:

• Account information: email address, username, full name, rank and department
• Sea service records: vessel details, dates, positions, day types, and service descriptions you enter
• Certificates: certificate names, types, issue dates, expiry dates, and file uploads
• Study progress: question answers, mastery scores, session data (stored locally on device)
• Subscription information: plan, status, and billing records (payment processing is handled by Stripe or Apple; we do not store card details)
• Device and usage data: app version, crash logs, and aggregated usage analytics

For billing eligibility and lifecycle auditing, we retain provider identifiers and events such as trials, purchases, cancellations, expirations, and refunds.

To prevent repeat use of the same SeaPath-controlled trial or promotion, we store an irreversible, keyed fingerprint of your normalised email address. This record does not contain your raw email and is not used to block account creation or valid paid purchases.

We use your data to:

• Provide and operate the SeaPath service
• Calculate AIS-supported sea service records and Career Pathway progress
• Send certificate expiry reminders and service notifications you've opted into
• Process subscription payments via Stripe or Apple
• Improve the service and fix bugs
• Respond to support enquiries

We do not sell your personal data. We do not use your sea service records or certificate data for advertising purposes.

When you add a vessel, SeaPath may retrieve AIS movement data from Kpler to build a record of vessel activity. This data is used to classify your sea service days. AIS data is sourced from a third-party maritime data provider and is used solely for sea service record building within your private account.

Your data is stored on secure servers. We use industry-standard encryption in transit (HTTPS) and at rest. Study progress data is primarily stored locally on your device using browser storage.

We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will delete your personal data within 30 days, except for the limited irreversible billing eligibility record described above and information required for legal or financial record-keeping.

SeaPath uses the following third-party services:

• Stripe — payment processing for web subscriptions
• Apple App Store / RevenueCat — in-app purchase processing for iOS subscriptions
• Kpler — AIS vessel tracking and maritime intelligence data
• Resend — transactional email delivery

These providers have their own privacy policies. On the public marketing website, Meta also receives the advertising measurement data described below, only when you accept marketing cookies.

You have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Correct inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your data
• Export your sea service records
• Object to processing in certain circumstances

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@seapath.app.

The SeaPath application uses session cookies to keep you logged in. On this public website, we store your marketing-cookie choice in your browser for up to 180 days. This preference storage is used to remember and respect your choice.

Only if you accept marketing cookies, we load the Meta Pixel, provided by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, to measure Facebook and Instagram advertising and help show relevant ads. It sends page-view events and download-intent events when you click an App Store or Google Play link or are automatically redirected to a store. Download intent records the store and whether you clicked or were redirected; it does not confirm an app installation. The Pixel may share the page URL (including advertising parameters), IP address, browser and device information, and cookie identifiers with Meta. Meta may link this information to your Facebook or Instagram account and process it internationally under its own policies. We do not send your private SeaPath account, sea service or certificate records through this Pixel, and we do not configure advanced matching.

Meta may set advertising cookies such as _fbp and _fbc, which can last up to 90 days. Marketing tracking stays off until you choose to accept. Rejecting does not affect access to the website or download links. You can withdraw consent at any time using “Cookie settings” at the bottom of any page; this stops future Pixel tracking on this website and removes these Meta cookies from this domain. It does not delete information already received by Meta.

For details about Meta’s processing and your choices, see Meta’s Privacy Policy and Meta’s Cookies Policy.

We may update this policy from time to time. We'll notify you of significant changes via email or an in-app notice. Continued use of SeaPath after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
