PrivacyNo accounts. No tracking. No analytics. Nothing you do here leaves your device. Location is used only when you tap "near me" and never leaves the phone.
Honesty rulesAbsence of data never reads as safety — no-data hours say "can't grade." Safety chips are rules of thumb for small vessels, not your judgment. Wreck & waypoint positions are not for navigation. Regulations shown are a dated summary — verify with VMRC / NC DMF before keeping fish.
