On the Cut

England & Wales Waterways
Privacy Policy — Last updated: June 2026

Overview

On the Cut respects your privacy. This policy explains what information the app uses and how. In short: the app does not collect, store, or transmit any personal information about you.

Location Data

The app uses your device's location to show your position on the map, to centre the map near you, to find your nearest facilities, and to provide turn-by-turn navigation. Your location is processed entirely on your device. It is not collected, stored on any server, transmitted to the developer, or shared with any third party.

Data We Store on Your Device

The app stores your boat profile (name, dimensions, cruising speed), your map layer preferences, and a cached copy of waterway data, all locally on your device. This information never leaves your device and is removed if you delete the app.

Information We Collect

We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal information. The app has no user accounts, no analytics, and no advertising.

Third-Party Data

The app downloads publicly available waterway data from the Canal & River Trust open data service and from OpenStreetMap to display the canal network. These requests are subject to those providers' own privacy practices. The app does not send any personal data in these requests.

Notices Page

The notices feature displays the Canal & River Trust notices website within the app. When you open it, your device connects to that website directly, subject to the Canal & River Trust's own privacy policy.

Children's Privacy

The app does not knowingly collect any data from anyone, including children.

Changes to This Policy

Any changes to this policy will be reflected in app updates and on this page, with an updated date above.

Contact

For any questions about this policy, please contact the developer through the App Store listing.
