1. Who this applies to

This policy covers all three FleetFixer platforms and everyone who interacts with them — club admins, maintenance staff, inventory managers, learners, coaches, athletes, parents, and visitors to our marketing site.

Maintenance

Club admins and staff managing fleets, jobs, and inventory.

Learn

Sailors using guides, quizzes, and interactive content.

Race

Athletes, coaches, parents, and squad administrators.

3. How we use your data

We use what we collect to:

  • Provide and maintain the FleetFixer platforms
  • Respond to enquiries, support requests, and safeguarding concerns
  • Send service-related messages (account alerts, maintenance reminders, squad notifications)
  • Improve the product based on aggregated usage patterns
  • Keep the Service secure and prevent abuse
What we don't do. We don't sell your personal data. We don't use it for advertising. We don't run third-party tracking cookies.

4. Photos and videos

Photos and videos uploaded to any FleetFixer platform — fault photos, maintenance images, athlete training clips, squad media, and anything else — are treated as special content under our Terms of Service.

FleetFixer reserves full rights to all photos and videos uploaded to the platform. By uploading, you grant us a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use that media for operating, promoting, and improving the Service, including marketing, case studies, and training our product features.

You must have consent from any identifiable people in the media (and parental consent for minors) before uploading. To request removal of a specific photo or video, email hello@fleetfixer.io.

5. Children & young people

The Race platform is used by junior athletes, some of whom are under 18. We take this seriously. Accounts for users under 18 must be created or approved by a parent, guardian, or club administrator, and parent portal access is available for visibility.

Read our Safeguarding Policy for the full picture — including how we handle concerns, reporting channels, and our commitments to clubs running junior programmes.

6. Where your data lives

Your data is stored on Google Cloud Platform via Firebase (Firestore, Authentication, Cloud Storage, and Cloud Functions). Data sits in secure, SOC 2 compliant data centres. All traffic is encrypted in transit (TLS) and all stored data is encrypted at rest.

Multi-tenant data is strictly scoped per club — one club cannot see another's records, and Firestore security rules enforce this at the database layer.

7. How long we keep it

We retain your data while your account is active. If you delete your account we remove your personal data within 30 days. Aggregated, anonymised data may be retained for analytics and product development.

Media content uploaded under the licence in section 4 may be retained beyond account deletion for the purposes granted by that licence.

8. Third-party services we use

10. Changes to this policy

Our team will get back to you within 30 days — usually much faster.
