Privacy Policy

FishLogAI — Last updated: April 28, 2026

Introduction

FishLogAI (“the App”) is a lobster fishing log and nautical chart application designed for commercial lobster fishermen in New England. Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information the App collects, how it is used, and your choices regarding your data.

Information We Collect

FishLogAI is designed with a local-first approach. All of your data stays on your device. We do not operate user accounts, cloud databases, or servers that receive your personal data.

• Fishing Log Data: Haul records you enter (coordinates, trap counts, catch numbers, depth, bottom type, bait type, and notes) are stored locally on your device using on-device storage (SQLite). This data is never transmitted to external servers.
• Device Location: The App requests access to your device’s GPS to auto-fill coordinates when logging hauls and to plot your position on the nautical chart. Location data is used only within the App and is not shared with any third party.
• Camera Access: If you use the logbook scanning feature, the App accesses your camera or photo library to capture images of handwritten log pages. Images are processed to extract fishing data and are not stored on or transmitted to external servers.
• Daily Notes: Any daily notes you enter (lobster prices, bait usage, weather observations) are stored locally on your device.

How We Use Your Information

All data you enter into FishLogAI is used solely to provide the App’s core functionality:

• Displaying your haul locations on NOAA nautical charts
• Calculating catch statistics, trends, and insights
• Generating CSV exports when you request them
• Showing tide, moon phase, and weather information relevant to your fishing area

We do not use your data for advertising, analytics, profiling, or any purpose other than providing the features described above.

Data Storage and Retention

Your fishing log data is stored locally on your device only, using SQLite on iOS and Android. We do not maintain any central database or cloud storage of your fishing records. No user data is transmitted to or stored on our servers.

Your data is retained on your device for as long as the App is installed. If you delete the App, all locally stored data will be permanently removed from your device. Since we do not store any user data on servers, there is no cloud data to retain or delete.

Third-Party Services

The App connects to the following external services to provide functionality. These services receive only the geographic coordinates necessary to return relevant data. No personal information or fishing log data is shared with any of these services.

• Apple StoreKit (In-App Purchases): Subscription payments for FishLogAI Pro are processed entirely through Apple’s App Store using StoreKit. We do not collect, store, or have access to your payment card details or billing information. Subscription management (including cancellation and renewal) is handled through your App Store account settings.
• NOAA Chart Display Service / ENC Online: Nautical chart tiles are loaded from NOAA’s public servers to display navigational charts of U.S. waters.
• Canadian Hydrographic Service (CHS): Nautical chart tiles for Canadian waters (Bay of Fundy, Nova Scotia) are loaded from CHS public servers.
• NOAA Tides & Currents: Tide prediction data is fetched from NOAA’s public API for your selected tide station.
• Open-Meteo: Sea surface temperature data is retrieved from the Open-Meteo public weather API based on your fishing coordinates.

Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or share your personal data or fishing records with any third parties. Your data leaves your device only when you explicitly choose to export it (for example, via CSV export through the iOS share sheet).

Children’s Privacy

FishLogAI is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Your Rights and Choices

You have the right to:

• Access the data stored on your device through the App’s export features
• Delete all your data by uninstalling the App
• Disable location services for the App through your device’s Settings at any time
• Cancel your subscription through your App Store account settings

Because all data is stored locally on your device and we do not maintain any server-side records, you have full control over your data at all times.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated “Last updated” date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
