Privacy Policy

Last Updated: July 17, 2026

Introduction

Welcome to the Fire Island Ferry Schedules app (“the App”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share information about you when you use our mobile application.

We take your privacy seriously. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully to understand our practices regarding your personal data.

Information We Collect

Information You Provide

  • Purchase Information: When you purchase a subscription or restore a previous purchase, payment information is processed by RevenueCat, our third-party payment processor.

Information Collected Automatically

  • Location Data: With your permission, we collect your approximate location (when the app is in use) solely to show you the nearest ferry terminal. You can disable location permissions at any time through your device settings.
  • Trip Weather Data: When you view trip weather, the App sends the ferry route’s approximate midpoint and forecast time to Apple’s WeatherKit. These coordinates describe the ferry route, not your device’s location.
  • Usage Data: We collect basic information about how you interact with the App, such as which features you use and how often you use them.
  • Device Information: We collect information about your mobile device, including model, operating system version, and unique device identifiers.
  • Crash and Error Diagnostics: When the App encounters a crash or error, we may collect diagnostic information such as stack traces, app version, device model, operating system version, and an anonymous app-generated user identifier to help us fix bugs. This data is processed by Sentry and is not intended to include personal information you enter in the App.

How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

  • Show you the nearest ferry terminal based on your location (when permitted)
  • Show weather conditions for a selected ferry trip through Apple WeatherKit
  • Process your subscription purchase and renewal status through RevenueCat
  • Track your search usage to determine when to prompt for a subscription
  • Improve the App and develop new features
  • Troubleshoot technical issues and diagnose crashes

Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal information. We share your information only in the following circumstances:

  • Service Providers: We share limited information with third-party vendors who help us operate the App, such as Apple WeatherKit for trip forecasts, RevenueCat for payment processing, and Sentry for crash and error reporting.
  • Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required by law or to protect our rights or the safety of our users.

Third-Party Services

RevenueCat

We use RevenueCat to manage in-app purchases. When you make a purchase, your transaction information is processed according to RevenueCat’s privacy policy. For more information, please visit RevenueCat’s Privacy Policy.

Sentry

We use Sentry to collect crash reports and error diagnostics so we can improve App stability. When you choose Send Feedback, you may optionally share your name, email, a description, and a screenshot captured in the App. Diagnostic and feedback data is processed according to Sentry’s privacy policy. For more information, please visit Sentry’s Privacy Policy.

Apple WeatherKit

We use Apple WeatherKit to provide forecasts for ferry routes. The App sends route coordinates and a forecast time to Apple; it does not send your device’s location for this feature. For more information, please visit Apple’s Privacy Policy.

Data Security

We implement reasonable security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access or disclosure.

Your Rights and Choices

  • Location Data: You can revoke location permissions at any time through your device settings.
  • Delete Your Data: You can request deletion of your personal information by contacting us.

Children’s Privacy

The App is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the “Last Updated” date.
