Privacy Policy – Clion -Marine app
Last updated: 9 November 2026
This policy explains which personal data the Clion -Marine app for Android and iOS ("the app") processes, why, and what rights you have. The app is used to monitor and control the climate system (HVAC) on board a ship equipped with a Clion -Marine control unit.
1. Who is responsible
The private limited companies Eberca B.V. established in Oud- Beijerland , the Netherlands ("we", "us"), are responsible for the processing described here.
Contact for privacy questions: info@clion-marine.com .
2. Using the app on board (local network)
On board, the app connects directly to the ship's Clion -Marine control unit over the ship's local network. It finds the control unit with the "nearby devices" / local network permission, which is used for nothing else. In this mode you don't need an account, and the climate data and the settings you change go only between your device and the control unit on board. They don't reach us.
3. Remote access and your account
To use the app away from the ship you sign in with a Clion -Marine account. We then process :
• Account data: your e-mail address, name, and a user ID, plus the ship(s) your account is assigned to. Sign-in is handled by our authentication provider Auth0 ( Okta , Inc.) in a browser window. The app never sees your password. • Sign-in tokens: stored only on your device, encrypted (Android Keystore / iOS Keychain), and excluded from device backups. They are deleted when you log out or uninstall the app. • Connection data: to show live data, the app connects to our server. Our servers process technical data such as your IP address, connection times and your user ID to authenticate you and to keep the service secure. • Ship data: the temperatures, operating states, alarms and settings of the ship's climate system, and the changes you make to them. These relate to the ship , not to you personally .
Legal basis: performance of the contract for the use of the Clion -Marine system (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR). For the security logs, our legitimate interest in running a secure service (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
4. What we don't do
The app contains no advertising, no analytics or tracking, and no crash-reporting services. We don't sell your data or use it for profiling.
5. Who receives data
• Auth0 ( Okta , Inc.) manages accounts and sign-in for us as a processor. We use its EU region. Where data is transferred outside the EU/EEA, this is covered by the EU Standard Contractual Clauses or the EU–US Data Privacy Framework. • Hetzner Online GmbH hosts our servers as a processor, in data centres in Germany. • Other users with access to the same ship can see the ship's data and its current settings.
6. How long we keep data
Account data is kept as long as you have an account. Server logs are deleted after 14 days. You can delete your account at any time in the app (account menu, "Delete account") or by e-mailing us. This deletes your account immediately, and the app signs you out on your device. A sign-in token that was already issued can no longer be renewed and expires within 24 hours.
7. Your rights
Under the GDPR you have the right to access, rectify and erase your data, to restrict its processing, to data portability, and to object to processing based on legitimate interest. To use these rights, contact us at the address above. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority: in the Netherlands the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens , or the authority in the country where you live.
8. Children
The app is intended for ship crews, owners and service staff. It is not directed at children.
9. Changes
We will update this policy when the app or our processing changes. The date at the top shows the current version.
