A private logbook

The Day Sail is a private captain's logbook. Everything you record — notes, photos, maintenance, expenses, engine readings, boats and waters — belongs to you and is visible only to your signed-in account.

Entries are never shared with other accounts, and there is no public feed or profile.

What we store

Your email address (for sign-in), your logbook entries and photos, your boats and saved waters, and your app preferences such as your active boat.

Photos are stored in a private folder that only your account can open.

For paid access, we store only your access expiry and tester invitation redemption status. Subscription payments, billing details and payment-provider identifiers stay with Stripe.

What we never store

No payment information of any kind — no card numbers, billing addresses, or payment records — is ever collected or stored in this app.

Booking or customer details from the charter website are not stored here. If a booking calendar is connected, the app reads availability only.

Weather and location

To show conditions for your waters, the app sends coordinates — never your name or email — to free weather and water services (Open-Meteo, the National Weather Service, and the US Geological Survey).

If you use the GPS button to set your waters, your position is used once, on your device, to find nearby waters. It is not tracked or stored as a trail.

Photo locations are optional and off by default. When enabled, embedded photo GPS or a fresh phone location when the camera returns is saved privately with that photo. There is no background tracking. You can remove a saved photo location.

New uploads are re-encoded without embedded metadata, including GPS, so sharing the image does not share its saved map location. Photos uploaded before this feature may still contain their original embedded metadata.

Trip maps load only when requested. OpenStreetMap receives your IP address and requests for the visible map area, but not your photos, account identity or stored photo records. Photo stops and any connecting lines are approximate and not for navigation.

Your data, your call

You can download your entire logbook as a CSV file at any time from the dashboard.

To delete your account and all of its data, contact us and it will be removed completely.
