Driver App Privacy

For the Yachtsy Driver Portal app, used by our own drivers and staff — not for guests.

Last updated · September 21, 2026

This page covers the Yachtsy Driver Portal app, which is used by Yachtsy’s own drivers and staff. It is not for guests. If you booked a cruise with us, the policy that applies to you is our Privacy Policy.

Who can use the app

Accounts are created by Yachtsy for people who drive for us. Drivers cannot sign themselves up, and there is no way to create an account from inside the app. Signing in sends a one-time code to the driver’s email address.

What the app collects

  • Account details. A driver’s name, email address and mobile number, so we can schedule them and reach them about a cruise.
  • Work records. The cruises a driver is assigned, the availability they submit, the pre- and post-cruise checklists they complete, their training progress, and their boating safety certificate.
  • Boat photos. Drivers photograph the boat before and after a cruise as part of the checklist. These are pictures of the vessel and its condition, kept as a maintenance record. The app asks permission for the camera and photo library the first time it needs them, and a driver can decline.
  • Notification token. If a driver turns on notifications, Apple issues an anonymous identifier for that phone. We store it so we can send alerts about their cruises. It identifies the device, not the person, and it stops working as soon as notifications are turned off or the app is removed.

What the app does not collect

The app does not request or record your location. It contains no advertising, no third-party analytics, and no tracking of any kind. We do not know what else is on your phone.

How we use it

Only to run cruise operations: scheduling drivers, telling them when a cruise is assigned, moved or cancelled, reminding them about checklists, keeping boat maintenance records, and tracking training.

We do not use driver information for marketing. We do not sell it. We do not share it with anyone for their own purposes.

Who we share it with

The companies that run the systems the app depends on — our hosting provider, our database provider, and Apple for delivering notifications. They may use the information only to provide that service to us.

We also share information if the law requires it, or to protect the safety of our guests, our team or the public.

How long we keep it

We keep driver records for as long as someone drives for us, and afterwards only as long as we need them for legal, tax, insurance or safety reasons.

Deleting your account

A driver who no longer works with Yachtsy can ask us to delete their account and personal information by emailing info@bookyachtsy.com. We will delete it, apart from anything we are required to keep for the reasons above.

Your choices

You can turn notifications off at any time in the app, or in your phone’s Settings. You can decline camera and photo access — the rest of the app still works, but you will not be able to attach the boat photos a checklist asks for.
