Local App Data

The app stores boat identity, MMSI, vessel details, app settings, logbook entries, Voyage Story notes, readiness checklist state, passport/service records, NMEA input settings, backups, exports, and blackbox logs locally on your Mac.
If you enter crew, document, medical, or service information, that information is stored locally and can be sensitive.
Photos are either linked from your chosen location or copied/exported only when you choose that workflow.

NMEA And Position Data

The app can read NMEA0183 serial or UDP data you configure, including position, speed, course, heading, wind, depth, weather, attitude, and related instrument data.
Automatic logbook entries and Voyage Story exports can include this data if you choose to record or export it.
The app does not transmit NMEA data to SailingKSF by default.

Feedback And Attachments

If you use Send Feedback / Bug Report, the app sends your name, email address, title, message, app version, platform details, and optional attachment to SailingKSF.
Attachments are optional and may include screenshots, PDF/TXT/LOG/JSON support files, or similar diagnostic material that you choose.
Do not attach private logbooks, medical records, passport data, or other sensitive data unless it is necessary for support.

Website Data

The download page can record basic view/download events and normal web-server logs for security and operational statistics.
Those records can include IP address, browser user-agent, requested URL, date/time, and download filename.
These records are used for security, abuse prevention, download statistics, and troubleshooting.

Your Choices

You choose what boat, crew, medical, document, and logbook data to enter.
You choose when to export, print, back up, or attach files to feedback.
You can use the app without sending feedback.
You can delete local app data, backups, exports, and blackbox logs from your Mac.
