Privacy Notice
Last updated: 1 May 2026
What We Collect
AfterDive collects information you provide directly — including dive logs, site names, dive conditions, species sightings, photos, and notes — solely to provide and improve the AfterDive service. We also collect standard app usage data (crash reports, feature usage) to help us fix issues and improve performance.
🔒 We do not collect or sell your personal data to third-party advertisers.
How We Use Your Data
Your dive data is used to power your personal log, generate Insights, and display your history. When you enable Ocean Intelligence sharing, anonymised and aggregated conditions and species sighting data is contributed to the AfterDive community dataset, which improves sighting predictions for all divers. You may disable this at any time in your account settings.
Third-Party Data Sources
Marine life data shown on the Explore screen is sourced from publicly available research-grade databases operated by iNaturalist and OBIS under their respective open data licences. This data is not linked to your personal account. Dive shop location data is sourced from OpenStreetMap under the Open Database Licence (ODbL). OpenStreetMap is a trademark of the OpenStreetMap Foundation.
Data Storage & Security
Your data is stored securely using Supabase infrastructure. We apply industry-standard security measures including encryption in transit and at rest. Access to your personal data is restricted to you and authorised AfterDive personnel who need it to operate the service.
Your Rights
You may access, correct, export, or delete your personal data at any time through the app settings or by contacting us. If you delete your account, your personal data will be permanently removed from our systems within 30 days, except where retention is required by law. For step-by-step instructions, see how to delete your account.
Children's Privacy
AfterDive is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal data, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.
Changes to This Notice
We may update this Privacy Notice from time to time. We will notify you of material changes through the app or by email. Continued use of the app after such notification constitutes acceptance of the updated notice.
