Privacy

What we store

Your name, email address, handle, and whatever you choose to put in your profile. Your builds, entries, photos and comments. That is it. No advertising trackers, no third-party analytics, no data sold to anyone.

Your photos get stripped

Every photo you upload is resized and has its metadata removed before it is stored — including GPS coordinates. Phones tag photos with where they were taken, and a build log is mostly photos taken at home. We read the date off the photo so your entry lands on the day you did the work, then discard the rest.

Full-resolution originals are not kept.

Who can see what

A build is private until you publish it. Until then only you can see it — plus anyone you hand the private link to, and a moderator if you have submitted it for review. Published builds are public to the whole internet and to search engines.

Cookies

One, so you stay signed in. Nothing else.

Deleting things

You can delete any entry or an entire build at any time, and the photos go with it. To delete your account, email hello@boatbuildlog.com.
