Privacy

Your logbook is private by default. Your entries, photos, GPS coordinates, and GPX tracks are stored in your private Apple iCloud account. Aside from the optional Web Publishing feature described below, we have no servers, no databases, and no access to your content — Apple handles all storage and sync via CloudKit.

Web publishing (Captain)

Captain lets you publish selected logbook entries to your own public website at yourname.sailorslog.io. It is entirely opt-in and off by default.

Only entries you explicitly mark as published appear on the site. Everything else stays private in your iCloud.
A published entry — including its text, photos, dates, and any GPS track or coordinates — becomes publicly visible to anyone with the link and may be indexed by search engines.
To serve the site, that published content and its photos are stored on our hosting infrastructure (Cloudflare). This is the only content that ever leaves your private iCloud.
You stay in control: unpublish an entry, or release your subdomain in Settings → Cloud Sync, to remove content from the public site. Cached copies clear within a few minutes.

Your data, your control

Export your logbook as markdown files from the app settings
Delete individual entries at any time
Clear everything via Settings — or remove SailorsLog data entirely through iOS Settings → iCloud → Manage Storage

Other than content you deliberately publish with Web Publishing (see above), we do not share data with third parties. We do not use cookies, analytics, or tracking on this website.

Terms

SailorsLog is distributed through the Apple App Store. Your use of the app is governed by Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement (EULA), which covers licensing, warranties, liability, and intellectual property.

The following terms are specific to SailorsLog.

Subscriptions

SailorsLog uses a freemium model:

Free — first 10 entries, local storage only (no cloud backup)
Skipper (€29/year) — unlimited entries, iCloud sync across devices, data export, clean postcards
Captain (€59/year) — everything in Skipper, plus Web Publishing to your own yourname.sailorslog.io site

Subscriptions are auto-renewing yearly via your Apple ID. They renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in Settings → [Your Name] → Subscriptions.

Family Sharing: The Skipper subscription supports Family Sharing for up to 6 members. Each member gets their own private logbook in their own iCloud account — entries are never shared between family members.

Refunds: All purchases are processed by Apple. Refund requests must go through Apple's App Store support.

Navigation disclaimer

SailorsLog is not a navigation tool. GPS coordinates, maps, and tracks are for logbook documentation only. Do not rely on SailorsLog for navigation, safety, or emergency purposes. Always use proper marine charts and navigation equipment.
