When you use Depthline, we collect information you provide directly — including your name, email address, dive certification level, and account preferences. We also collect data generated through your use of the platform, including sonar scan data, dive logs, GPS coordinates of dive sites, and device information.
Sonar data you capture during dives is stored securely on our servers for processing into 3D cave maps. By default, all sonar data and resulting maps are private to your account. If you choose to contribute maps to the Community Cave Atlas, that data becomes accessible to other Depthline users. You can withdraw contributed maps at any time.
We use your information to provide and improve the Depthline platform, process sonar data into cave maps, personalize your experience, communicate with you about your account and updates, and maintain the safety and integrity of our services.
We do not sell your personal data or dive data to third parties. We may share anonymized, aggregated data for research purposes (such as geological studies or dive safety research). We share data with service providers who help us operate the platform, under strict contractual obligations to protect your information.
Your data is stored on encrypted servers. Sonar data and cave maps are backed up redundantly. We implement industry-standard security measures including encryption in transit and at rest, access controls, and regular security audits.
You can access, export, or delete your account data at any time from your account settings. You can withdraw maps from the Community Cave Atlas at any time. You can request a complete export of all data we hold about you by contacting us at team@depth-line.com.
We use essential cookies to maintain your session and preferences. We use analytics tools to understand how the platform is used, so we can improve it. We do not use advertising cookies or tracking pixels.
Depthline is not intended for users under 16. We do not knowingly collect data from children.
We may update this policy from time to time. We'll notify you of significant changes via email or in-app notification at least 14 days before they take effect.
