For young sailors

    Your privacy, in plain words

    This page is the short version. The full policy is on the privacy page. Amidships is run by The Maritime Consultancy Ltd, 172 Easterly Road, Leeds, LS8 3AD, United Kingdom.

    What we keep

    If you are 13 to 17, we keep your email, a nickname, your date of birth, and your quiz scores. The date of birth is only there so we know you are allowed to sign up yourself. If a leader adds you and you are under 13, we keep a nickname and your scores. We do not need your email for that.

    What we do not do

    We do not ask where you are. We do not build a profile of you to sell things. We do not send you marketing email. Analytics is off. Youth accounts do not use voice, AI chat, or Ask a Maritime Instructor, so those tools never hear you.

    Who else sees it

    Your group leader can see the nicknames in your group. They do not see your date of birth. The app is hosted for us by Lovable Cloud. We do not sell your information.

    Your choices

    You can ask us to see your information, fix it, or delete the account. A parent or leader can ask for you. Email daniel@themaritimeconsultancy.com. You can also use the delete account page when you are signed in.

    Who to talk to

    Daniel McDonnell, Director, looks after this. Email daniel@themaritimeconsultancy.com. You can also ask your leader or a parent to write to us.
