Privacy Policy

AFR app · effective 17 September 2026

This Policy describes what personal data the AFR app (the “App”) processes, why it is needed, and what rights you have.

Data controller: Seanation (“we”, “us”). Privacy contact: info@seanation.com.

1. What AFR is

AFR is an app for yacht festival participants: a live fleet map, boat tracking during races, results, event schedules, and participant communication. Location processing is the App's core feature — it does not function without it.

2. Data we process

Category	Data	Purpose
Account	Email, one-time sign-in codes	Registration and sign-in (one-time-code authentication)
Profile	Name, photo (avatar), information you add to your profile	Presenting you to other yacht festival participants
Location	Precise device coordinates, including in the background and with the screen locked — while you participate in a yacht festival	Live boat tracking on the map, race track recording, results scoring, safety on the water
Content	Photos and text you publish in the App	Community features (profiles, events, participant communication)
Technical	Push-notification token (Firebase Cloud Messaging), a stable device identifier (`ANDROID_ID` on Android; the system-issued per-app identifier on iOS), server logs	Delivering race and event notifications; attributing track points to the phone that recorded them and keeping your location choice per phone; service reliability and security

We do not collect data for advertising, do not track you across other apps or websites, and do not sell personal data.

3. Location, in detail

Location access is requested explicitly on first sign-in; no tracking happens without your consent.
Background (“Always”) access is required so your race track keeps recording while the phone is in your pocket or the screen is locked — the core of yacht festival tracking.
Your boat's position is visible to other participants under the yacht festival's rules (for example, to the fleet and organizers during a race).
When your boat is confirmed as moored, client-side tracking stops.

4. Who can access the data

Other participants — name, avatar, boat, and position under the yacht festival's rules.
Yacht festival organizers — data needed to run events and moderate content.
Service providers — only to the extent needed to operate the service: server and file-storage hosting, Google Maps (map display), Firebase Cloud Messaging (push delivery).

Data is not shared with any other third parties except where the law requires it.

5. Storage and retention

Data is stored on servers operated for us in Germany (European Union). Account and profile data is kept while your account exists. Race tracks are kept as part of yacht festival history and results.

6. Account deletion

You can delete your account in the App yourself: “More” (Ещё) → “Delete account” (Удалить аккаунт). On deletion, personal data (name, contacts, photos) is deleted or anonymized; anonymized sporting records (race results, tracks with no link to your identity) may be retained as part of yacht festival history. You can also request deletion via the contact above. A full description of the procedure, of what is deleted and of what is retained is on the account deletion page.

7. Your rights

You may request access to your data, its correction, deletion, or restriction of processing, and withdraw consent. If you are in the EU/EEA, you additionally have the GDPR rights, including data portability and the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. Send requests to the contact listed at the top of this Policy.

8. Children

The App is not intended for persons under 18.

9. Changes

We may update this Policy. The current version is always available at this address; the effective date is shown above. We will notify you of material changes in the App.
