Privacy Policy
Last updated 26 July 2026
This policy explains what Floating Today collects and how we use it. We keep it minimal: an account is optional, and there are no advertising trackers.
What we collect
- Email address, only if you choose to sign up (for early access and curated-spot updates).
- Optional details, if you sign up as a boat owner (“Captain”), you may also give your name and boat name. These are optional.
- On-device settings: your map preferences are stored locally in your browser, not in an account. You can clear them at any time by clearing your browser storage.
- Aggregated usage analytics: we use privacy-focused, cookieless analytics to understand how the site is used and improve it. These are aggregated and are not linked to your name or email.
We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies, and our analytics set no cookies on your device.
Your account (optional)
You can use the whole map without an account: your saved spots and routes live on your device. If you want them to follow you to another phone, you can create a free account. Signing in is passwordless, with a one-time code sent to your email or with Google. We never handle a password.
An account stores only what you give it and what you save:
- the email you sign in with;
- optional profile details: a display name, boat name, your role and power type, and an avatar colour;
- your saved spots, routes, and home spot.
We never sell this and we don’t share it. Saving something is private to you: it is never posted anywhere public.
How we use it
- To send you a short welcome when you sign up, and the occasional curated-spot drop after that. Every email has a one-click unsubscribe link, and you can opt out any time.
- To understand demand and improve the curated spot data.
Consent
When you submit your email through one of our forms, you consent to us storing it and contacting you about Floating Today, and you confirm you’ve read this Privacy Policy and our Terms. You can withdraw consent any time: just email us to unsubscribe and we’ll remove you.
Where it’s stored
Your data is stored and processed by reputable third-party providers we use for hosting, email delivery and privacy-focused analytics, located in the EU/EEA or under appropriate safeguards. We take reasonable measures to protect it, and we do not sell it.
Your rights
You can ask us to access, correct, or delete your data, or to stop contacting you. Email hello@floating.today and we’ll take care of it.
If you have an account, you can also do this yourself from the Captain tab. Export my data downloads everything your account holds as a file, and Delete account permanently removes your account and all your saved data. Deleting your account also unsubscribes you from our emails.
Children
The site isn’t directed at children, and we don’t knowingly collect their data.
Changes
We may update this policy; the “last updated” date above reflects the latest version.
