Policies
SailCoach is used mostly by young sailors, so how we handle their data and their safety matters more than the usual. Everything we commit to is here.
Each document carries a version number and a date. When we change one, the previous wording stays published at its own permanent address — you can always see what we used to say. The changelog lists every change we have made.
Worried about a young person?
If a child is in immediate danger, call 999. Otherwise email [email protected] and read the Safeguarding Policy. You do not need to be certain before you tell us.
