Vessels Info

Effective date and last updated: 20 June 2026

Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Vessels Info (the “Service Provider”, “we”, “us” or “our”) collects, uses and protects information when you use the Vessels Info mobile application and related services (the “Service”).

1. Information We Collect

Depending on how you use the Service, we may process:

  • Account information: your name, email address, authentication credentials, email-verification status and account preferences.
  • Subscription information: your subscription tier, entitlement status, purchase status and related transaction identifiers. Payment card details are processed by the applicable app store and are not received by us.
  • Usage and product information: searches, filters, watchlist items, feature interactions and records you choose to save.
  • Technical information: IP address, device and operating-system information, app version, request timestamps, session information and diagnostic or security logs.
  • Communications: information you provide when contacting support or making a privacy request.

The Service does not request precise device location, contacts, microphone, camera or advertising ID permissions in its current configuration.

2. How We Use Information

We use information to:

  • create and manage accounts, authenticate users and verify email addresses;
  • provide vessel, company, shipyard, watchlist and sanctions-screening features;
  • manage subscriptions, restore purchases and provide plan entitlements;
  • maintain security, prevent abuse, diagnose errors and improve reliability;
  • respond to support, privacy and account-deletion requests; and
  • comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Use.

3. Sharing and Third-Party Services

We do not sell personal information. We may share limited information with service providers that process data on our behalf or provide functionality used by the Service, including:

  • Google Play Services and Google Play Billing for Android distribution, platform services and purchases;
  • RevenueCat for subscription status, purchase validation and entitlement management;
  • hosting, database, email-delivery, security and technical-support providers used to operate the Service; and
  • public authorities or other parties when disclosure is required by law or reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety and service integrity.

These providers may process information under their own privacy terms. You can review the Google Privacy Policy and RevenueCat Privacy Policy.

4. Data Retention

We retain account and service data for as long as your account is active and as needed to provide the Service. After an account-deletion request is completed, we delete or anonymise associated personal information unless retention is required for legal, security, fraud-prevention, accounting or dispute-resolution purposes. Backup copies may remain for a limited period until they are overwritten through normal backup cycles.

5. Security and International Transfers

We use reasonable technical and organisational safeguards designed to protect personal information. No storage or transmission method is completely secure, so absolute security cannot be guaranteed.

Information may be processed in countries other than your country of residence. Where required, we use appropriate legal safeguards for international data transfers.

6. Children

The Service is intended for business and professional users and is not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us so we can take appropriate action.

7. Your Choices and Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict or obtain a copy of your personal information, object to certain processing, or withdraw consent where consent is the legal basis.

You can stop future collection by uninstalling the application. Uninstalling does not delete an existing account or information already sent to the Service. To delete your account and associated data, use the deletion option in the application or follow the instructions on our Account Deletion page.

8. Changes and Contact

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to the Service, our practices or applicable requirements. The revised version will be posted here with an updated effective date.

Terms of Use

These Terms apply to your use of the Vessels Info mobile application and related services. By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms.

1. The Service

Vessels Info provides maritime information tools, including vessel search, company and shipyard records, watchlists, ownership information and sanctions-screening data. The Service is provided for informational and internal business purposes.

2. Accounts and Acceptable Use

You are responsible for providing accurate account information, protecting your credentials and all activity under your account. You must not misuse the Service, attempt unauthorised access, disrupt its operation, scrape protected data without permission, infringe third-party rights or use the Service for unlawful purposes.

3. Maritime and Sanctions Information

Vessel, company, ownership and sanctions information may come from public registers, licensed providers and other third-party sources. Although we work to maintain useful information, we do not guarantee that data is complete, current or error-free. The Service is not legal advice and must not be the sole basis for compliance, commercial or operational decisions. Users remain responsible for independent verification and professional advice where appropriate.

4. Subscriptions and Purchases

Some features may require a paid subscription. Prices, billing periods and available features are shown before purchase. Purchases and renewals are processed by the applicable app store and are subject to its payment, cancellation and refund rules. You can manage or cancel a subscription through your app-store account settings.

5. Intellectual Property

The Service, software, branding and original content are owned by or licensed to the Service Provider. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable right to use the Service for personal or internal business purposes in accordance with these Terms.

6. Availability and Termination

The Service may be updated, changed, suspended or discontinued. We may restrict or terminate access where reasonably necessary for security, legal compliance, non-payment or a material breach of these Terms. You may stop using the Service at any time and may request account deletion.

7. Disclaimers and Liability

The Service is provided on an “as available” basis to the extent permitted by law. We are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential loss arising from use of the Service or reliance on third-party maritime data. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limits mandatory consumer rights.

8. Changes and Contact

We may update these Terms and will post the revised version with a new effective date. Material changes may also be communicated through the Service. Questions may be sent to [email protected].
