This Privacy Policy explains how BoatLens handles information when you use the website, analyzer, calculators, boat profiles, guides, feedback form, and request-a-boat form.

BoatLens does not currently offer user accounts, payments, checkout, or subscriptions.

If you submit site feedback, BoatLens receives the rating you select, any optional comment you provide, the inquiry type, and the page context.

If you request a boat to be added or reviewed, BoatLens receives the brand, model, optional year, optional notes, and page context.

If you submit the BoatLens feedback form, BoatLens receives the information contained in your submission, including any details you choose to provide.

Analyzer and calculator inputs are used to calculate BoatLens results such as fit scores, risk labels, buyer-action labels, fuel estimates, ownership-cost ranges, financing estimates, depreciation estimates, market-pricing observations, and inspection or seller-question prompts.

BoatLens does not intentionally save complete analyzer or calculator submissions as form records. Limited usage information, such as the type of tool used, boat category, general result labels, and page context, may be included in analytics where enabled.

BoatLens may use Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity to understand page visits, feature use, navigation, and general interaction patterns.

These services may process information such as device and browser details, approximate location, IP address, pages viewed, interactions, and analytics identifiers. BoatLens does not use these tools to intentionally collect sensitive information entered into free-text fields.

BoatLens itself does not currently use cookies for user accounts or saved sessions.

Analytics or advertising providers may set cookies or use browser identifiers when their services are enabled. You can limit cookies through your browser settings or privacy tools.

BoatLens may display advertising in the future. If advertising is enabled, third-party advertising partners may use cookies, device identifiers, browsing information, and ad-interaction data to deliver and measure ads, subject to user settings and applicable law.

BoatLens uses service providers for hosting, database services, analytics, email delivery, and website operations. These providers process information only as needed to provide their services.

Feedback and boat-request submissions are sent through BoatLens systems and may be delivered by email or stored for review.

• To operate the website, analyzer, calculators, boat profiles, guides, forms, and request tools.
• To calculate informational estimates, scores, fit assessments, buyer-action labels, market-pricing signals, ownership-cost ranges, fuel estimates, and depreciation estimates.
• To understand product usage, page performance, feature usage, and user behavior through analytics where configured.
• To review feedback and prioritize boat coverage requests.

BoatLens may rely on service providers for hosting, database services, analytics, email delivery, and operational infrastructure, including Vercel, Supabase, Google Analytics, and Microsoft Clarity.

These providers may process technical information, analytics information, usage information, cookies, browser identifiers, IP address information, or submitted information as needed to provide their services.

BoatLens forms are not intended to collect sensitive personal information, payment information, passwords, government identification numbers, financial account information, tax information, insurance policy numbers, or private seller personal information.

BoatLens data practices are designed around lightweight feedback, requested-boat submissions, product analytics, and boat research data. Users should avoid submitting sensitive or confidential information through feedback or request forms.

BoatLens may retain submitted information for as long as reasonably needed to operate and improve the product, review feedback, manage abuse, respond to requests, or meet legal and operational needs.

Deletion or privacy questions can be sent through the BoatLens feedback page.

• You can avoid sharing sensitive information in comments, notes, or feedback submissions.
• You can use browser controls, privacy settings, or extensions to limit cookies and analytics identifiers.
