Find My FerryPrivacy Policy
Last updated November 6, 2026
In short
- No account, no sign-in.
- No ads, no analytics, no tracking across apps or websites.
- We don't ask for your location, contacts, or photos.
- We don't sell or share information about you.
This policy covers the Find My Ferry apps for iPhone, Apple Watch, Android, and Wear OS, their widgets, complications, and tiles, and this website.
What stays on your device
The routes you pick, your widget settings, and whether alerts are on are saved on your device only. Deleting the app deletes them.
What our server receives
To show schedules and live boats, the apps ask our server for ferry information. Like any web server, it receives the request's IP address, the type of device and app version that asked, the route asked about, and the time. Requests contain no account or ID that identifies you.
We use this only to run the service, fix problems, and protect it from abuse. Our server runs on Google Cloud, which keeps these request logs for 30 days and then deletes them. We don't use them to identify you or build a profile.
Alerts (push notifications)
If you turn on alerts, the app uses Firebase Cloud Messaging, a Google service, to deliver them. Your device is given a notification address by Apple or Google and subscribes to a channel for the route you follow. We send each alert once to everyone following that route: our server never receives or stores your device's notification address. Google handles it under the Firebase privacy terms.
You can turn alerts off in the app or in your device's notification settings at any time.
Ferry data
Schedules, boat positions, space, and service alerts come from WSDOT's public traveler information. To decide which service alerts are worth a notification, our server may have the public alert text classified by an AI service (Anthropic). Nothing about you is ever sent.
Purchases
The apps have no purchases today. If we add paid features, Apple or Google will handle payment, and we'll update this policy to say what that involves before they launch.
Children
The apps are suitable for all ages and don't knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13.
Your choices
Because we don't keep information linked to you, there's no account or profile to see or delete. If you have a question or a request about your data, email us and we'll help.
Changes
If this policy changes, we'll update it here and change the date above. If a change affects what we collect, we'll say so in the app's release notes.
