Privacy Policy

BuoyData Last updated: March 6, 2026

Overview

BuoyData is designed with your privacy in mind. The app collects minimal data and does not track you in any way.

Data Collection

BuoyData does not collect, store, or transmit any personal information.

The only data stored by the app is your preferred NOAA buoy station ID, which is saved locally on your device. This data never leaves your device and is not sent to any server.

Network Requests

The app connects to a backend API to retrieve publicly available ocean buoy data from NOAA’s National Data Buoy Center. These requests contain only the buoy station ID you selected — no personal information, device identifiers, or analytics data are transmitted.

Third-Party Services

BuoyData does not use any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services.

Children’s Privacy

BuoyData does not knowingly collect any information from children.

Changes
