Privacy & Use Policy

isiziba is a private, offline app for keeping your own boating logbook — recording where you went, when, with whom, and what each trip cost — and for working out the anchor rode you need when you enter valid tide information. This policy explains what the app stores, how your information is protected, and the terms for using it.

Effective 15 September 2026

Your Data Stays On Your Device

Everything you enter — your trips, vessels, sign-offs, notes, settings and lists — is stored only on this device. isiziba does not need the internet to work: nothing is uploaded to a cloud, there are no user accounts, there is no syncing to other devices, and there is no analytics, tracking or advertising. We never see, collect, transmit or share your information.

Backups & Data Loss

Because your information lives only on this device, you are the only one who holds it, and the only one who can back it up. If you delete isiziba, reset the app, or lose or replace your device, your data cannot be recovered by us, so please keep your own copies of anything important.

isiziba can create a backup file containing your trips, vessels, settings and lists. This file is plain and unencrypted, so where you keep it is entirely up to you. If you save it to a folder that syncs to a cloud service, or share it to one, a copy will be stored there by that service, outside isiziba, so please choose a location that you trust.

Using isiziba

isiziba is a recording aid and personal reference tool, and it is not a substitute for proper seamanship. The Anchor Rode calculator provides an approximate guide to the rode you may need, and it is only as reliable as the information you enter, so you should always cross-check official tide tables and charts and apply your own judgement. Logbook entries are created from the information you provide and are not verified, and we cannot guarantee that any training body or authority will accept them. isiziba is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the RYA, IYT, MCA, NauticEd, or any other organisation. You remain responsible at all times for the safety of your vessel and crew.

Age

isiziba is intended for adults who are keeping their own boating records, and it is not designed for or directed at children under the age of 13. The app has no sign-up, no age gate and no way to identify who is using it, because it collects nothing and keeps everything on your own device. As a result, isiziba holds no personal information about any user, whatever their age, and there is nothing for a parent or guardian to request, correct or have deleted.

No Warranty

isiziba is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties or guarantees of any kind, whether express or implied. It is a personal record-keeping and reference tool, and any figures it produces — including the Anchor Rode calculation and the totals shown on your dashboard — are only as accurate as the information you enter and should never be relied upon as your sole basis for a decision. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the developer accepts no liability for any loss, damage or injury arising from the use of, or inability to use, the app, including the loss of stored data. You are responsible for keeping your device secure, for using the app sensibly alongside proper seamanship, and for backing up your own information.

Governing Law

This policy and your use of isiziba are governed by the law of Portugal, and any dispute relating to them will be dealt with under that law. If you use isiziba as a consumer, nothing in this policy removes or limits any mandatory legal rights or protections that you have under the law of your own country of residence.

Changes To This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time as isiziba develops or as the law requires. When we do, we will change the effective date shown above so that you can see when it was last revised. We encourage you to review this policy occasionally, and your continued use of isiziba after an update takes effect means that you accept the revised policy.

Contact

If you have any questions about this policy, about how isiziba works, or about anything else relating to the app, we would be glad to hear from you. Please contact us at hello@ambersplash.com and we will do our best to help.
