Privacy Policy

Ridge Labs LLC, doing business as DockTalk ("DockTalk," "we," "us," and "our"), respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it through compliance with this Privacy Policy (this "Policy").

This Policy describes how we collect, use, and share personal information of consumer users of DockTalk: Live Marine Radio, a product of Ridge Labs LLC, and DockTalk's other mobile apps, websites, content, products, receiver hardware and software, and any related services (together, the "Services"). It also explains how we handle information about people heard in the marine radio traffic that the Services record (Section 2).

This Policy applies to personal information that we collect:

• From you directly.
• Through any of the Services, including receiver nodes that are part of the DockTalk network.
• In electronic messages between you and any of our personnel or any automated agents enabled through any of the Services.
• When you interact with our advertising on third-party websites and services, if that advertising includes links to the Services where this Policy governs.

This Policy does not apply to information collected:

• By our affiliates or subsidiaries, separately from us.
• By any third party, including through any application or content that may link to or be accessible from or through the Services.

Please read this Policy carefully to understand how we will treat your information. If you do not agree with this Policy, your choice is not to use the Services. By accessing or using any of the Services, you agree to this Policy. This Policy may change from time to time (see Updates To This Privacy Policy). Your continued use of any of the Services after we make changes to this Policy is deemed to be acceptance of those changes, so please check this Policy periodically for updates.

1. Personal Information We Collect

We collect personal information about you in a number of different ways:

Personal Information Collected from You. When you use any of the Services, we collect information (a) by which you or your household may be personally identified, related, or described and (b) that is reasonably capable of identifying you or your household when we combine it with other information (collectively, "personal information"). The app can be used without giving us any of this, but personal information may include the following categories, depending on how you use any of the Services and how you communicate with us:

• Individual identifiers and contact information, such as your name and email address, for example when you join our launch list, contact us, or apply to host a receiver node;
• Host application information, such as the harbor and general location of your proposed site, the type of property, where an antenna could go, your view of the water, any radio equipment you already run, and any notes you choose to include;
• Commercial information, such as subscriptions purchased, obtained, or considered;
• Communications with us and preferences, such as any messages, opinions, corrections, and feedback that you share with us when you contact us directly (such as for customer support) and your user preferences (such as in receiving updates or marketing information);
• Purchase information, if you purchase a subscription. In-app purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store (iOS) or by Google through Google Play (Android). We receive confirmation of your subscription status, its type, the original purchase date, and the expiration or renewal date. We do NOT receive or store your payment card numbers, bank account information, or Apple Pay or Google Pay details; and
• Additional information as otherwise described to you at the point of collection or pursuant to your consent.

Sensitive Information. We may need to collect or process personal information that is deemed "sensitive information" or "sensitive data" under certain laws. We may process the following categories of sensitive information when you use any of the Services:

• Geolocation data. The app does not access your device's GPS or precise location. If you apply to host or operate a receiver node, we collect the location of the node site that you give us, which we use to plan coverage and to place the node on our internal maps; and
• Authentication data, such as account information and login credentials if you create an Account, and the claim codes and access tokens that connect a receiver node to our network.

Information We Collect Automatically. The Services may automatically collect the following categories of usage and technical personal information about you. This personal information is used by DockTalk for the operation of the Services, to maintain quality of the Services, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the Services. This personal information may include:

• IP address, which is the number associated with the service through which you access the Internet, like your ISP (internet service provider);
• Date and time of your visit to or use of the Services;
• Domain server from which you are using the Services;
• Type of computer, web browsers, search engine used, operating system, or platform you use;
• Data identifying the web pages you visited prior to and after use of our Services;
• Your movement and activity within the Services, including but not limited to which harbors and channels you listen to, which Moments you play, download, or share, and the area of the map you are viewing (so we can send you the vessels in view);
• Mobile device information, including the type of device you use, operating system version, app version, and error or crash information; and
• If you host a receiver node: the node's IP address and network information, and health information such as temperature, uptime, storage, signal and audio levels, and software version.

The technologies we use for this automatic data collection may include:

• Cookies and Local Storage. Our websites may log information using "cookies" or similar browser storage. Cookies are small data files stored on your hard drive by a website. We may use both session Cookies (which expire once you close your web browser or mobile app) and persistent Cookies (which stay on your computer or mobile device until you delete them) to provide you with a more personal and interactive experience on the Services. The app stores your settings, such as your chosen harbor and what you have already heard, on your device.
• Web Beacons. Pages of our websites and our emails may contain small electronic files known as web beacons (also referred to as clear gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs) that permit us, for example, to count users who have visited those pages or opened an email and for other related website statistics (for example, recording the popularity of certain website content and verifying system and server integrity).
• Device Identifiers. When you access the Services by or through a mobile device (including but not limited to smart phones or tablets), we may access, collect, monitor, and/or remotely store one or more "device identifiers," such as a universally unique identifier, which are small data files or similar data structures. A device identifier may remain persistently on your device, to help you pick up where you left off and enhance your navigation through the Services. Some features of the Services may not function properly if use or availability of device identifiers is impaired or disabled.

Device Permissions. If you choose to save a Moment's video to your device, the app asks for permission to add it to your photo library. We use that permission only to save the file you asked for; we do not read, collect, or upload your photos.

Information We May Receive from Third Parties. We may collect additional personal information about you from third-party websites, social media platforms and/or sources providing publicly available information to help us provide the Services to you, to manage your account, to maintain our customer/visitors lists, to provide feedback, for authentication purposes, for service improvement, to provide updates and announcements, to help prevent fraud, and for marketing and advertising purposes. We also receive publicly broadcast vessel information (such as AIS vessel names, identifiers, and positions) from data providers and from our receiver network. This Policy only applies to personal information collected by the Services. We are not responsible for the privacy and security practices of those other websites or social media platforms or the personal information that they may collect. You should contact such third parties directly to determine their respective privacy policies. Links to any other websites or content do not constitute or imply an endorsement or recommendation by us of the linked website, social media platform, and/or content.

Additional Information. If you choose to transmit additional personal information through the Services that is only optional for you to provide to us, such as photos of a receiver node installation, we will collect that personal information that you provide and use it in the same manner as other personal information that you provide to us. Photos of node installations are kept private and are never published without your permission.

Information About Third Parties. You shall not provide us with personal information regarding another individual unless you have the consent to do so.

What We Don't Collect.

• We do NOT access your device's GPS, and we do not track or store your location history.
• We do NOT sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for their marketing purposes.
• We do NOT show ads in the app, and we do not use advertising identifiers or third-party tracking cookies.
• We do NOT read your contacts, microphone, camera, or photo library.

2. Radio Content and People Heard on the Radio

The core of DockTalk is recording and making sense of marine VHF radio, which is transmitted openly on public frequencies and can be received by anyone with a radio. These transmissions are made by third parties, such as boaters, commercial mariners, the Coast Guard, and harbor and bridge operators, and they may include voices, names, vessel names, call signs, phone numbers, locations, and descriptions of events such as accidents and medical emergencies.

When our receiver network picks up a transmission, we record it and may use AI to transcribe it, clean up the audio, identify the vessels or parties involved, summarize it, and decide whether it is a notable Moment. Recordings, transcripts, and summaries may be published in the Services, shared by users, and kept as part of our archive. We also combine radio traffic with publicly broadcast vessel information to show which vessels were involved.

Removal requests. If you are heard in a recording, or a recording concerns your vessel, and you would like it removed or edited, email hello@docktalk.app with a link to the Moment (or the harbor, date, and time) and what you would like changed. We review every request and will remove or limit recordings where appropriate, for example where a recording reveals personal contact details or private medical information. We may keep recordings where we believe there is a public interest or safety reason to do so, or where we are required to keep them by law, and content that other users have already downloaded or shared outside the Services is beyond our control.

We do not use radio recordings to build profiles of individual people, and we do not sell recordings or transcripts as personal data.

3. How We Use Your Personal Information

Generally, we may use your personal information in the following ways and as otherwise described in this Policy or described to you at the time we collect the personal information from you:

We may disclose the categories of your personal information described above with the following categories of third parties:

• Affiliates. We may share your personal information with our affiliates for purposes consistent with this Policy.
• Third-Party Service Providers. We may provide your personal information to third-party service providers that help us provide you with any Services and to operate our business (for example, cloud hosting and web services operators, email delivery providers, AI processing providers that help us transcribe and summarize radio audio, and app store and billing partners).

If another company acquires DockTalk or our business or assets, that company will possess the personal information collected by us and will assume the rights and obligations regarding your personal information described in this Policy.

• Third-Party Websites. The Services may contain links to third-party websites. When you click on a link to any other website or location, you will leave the Services and go to another website, and another entity may collect your personal information from you.

When you receive such emails from us, you may indicate a preference to stop receiving further emails, and you will have the opportunity to "opt out" by following the unsubscribe instructions provided in the email you receive or by emailing us directly at hello@docktalk.app. Despite your indicated email preferences, we may send you Services-related communications, including notices of any updates to this Policy or the Terms of Service.

6. Security Of Your Personal Information

DockTalk is committed to protecting the security of your personal information. We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure, including encrypted connections between the app, our receiver nodes, and our servers. No method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while we use reasonable efforts to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

7. Retention of Personal Information

We keep your personal information only as long as necessary to use it as we have described in this Policy.

8. International Users

Please note that the Services are hosted in the United States. If you use any of the Services from outside the United States, please be aware that your personal information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States.

Sensitive Personal Information. Except as referenced in this Policy, we ask that you not provide us with any sensitive personal information (e.g., information related to racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religion or other beliefs, health, biometrics or genetic characteristics, criminal background, or trade union membership) on or through the Services or otherwise to us.

When we no longer require the personal information we have collected about you, we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible. If we anonymize your personal information (so that it can no longer be associated with you), we may use that anonymized information indefinitely without further notice to you.
