Review candidate only: external lawyer and accountant review are still required before unrestricted public launch.

Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy

This page describes the current privacy posture for the Shipward website, account flows, and the standard online audit purchase path.

Operator and scope

Shipward is operated by David Boyle (ABN 93 833 832 911). Shipward is a service brand only and is not a separate legal entity. This policy covers the public website, account creation, contact paths, and the standard online software recoverability audit purchase flow.

Personal information

Shipward may collect the information you provide directly, including your name, business details, email address, login credentials, billing details, and messages submitted through contact, onboarding, or checkout flows.

At launch, no external analytics, CRM, chat widget, booking platform, helpdesk, or marketing automation tooling is part of the default public stack.

Customer materials and confidential information

Customer materials can include repositories, uploaded documents, tickets, architecture notes, deployment notes, internal project communications, and related technical context. These materials are not treated as a general permission to reuse customer content.

Customer materials and customer confidential information are used only to deliver the specific engagement. They are not used for model training, model evaluation or testing, service improvement, benchmarking, or de-identified analytics.

Limits, access, and service providers

Founder-only access applies by default. Shipward does not ask for credentials, production data or logs, employee personal information, end-user or client personal information, or regulated or otherwise sensitive data by default.

Service delivery may rely on AWS, Google Workspace, Stripe, GitHub, OpenAI, and Anthropic. Vendor regions are not yet narrowed, so cross-border handling may occur where those services process data.
