Privacy Policy

Effective November 8, 2026 · SFBay-Tackle (the Fishing Tides app and sfbaytackle.com)

What we collect

Account. If you create an account in the Fishing Tides app, we store your email address (used only to send you a sign-in code), an optional display name and avatar you choose, and your saved data: favorite spots, your home wall, hidden spots, and spots you choose to share with the community (a shared spot shows only its name and location, never who shared it).

Community posts. If you post a catch photo, we store the photo, the species/note you type, and the location at the level you pick: the spot name and exact location, a general area (rounded to about 5 km), or no location at all. Replies and likes are stored with your account. If you block another user, that block is stored so the two of you no longer see or interact with each other.

Orders. When you buy on sfbaytackle.com, payment is processed by PayPal — we never see or store your card number. We receive your name, shipping address and order details so we can fulfill the order, and pickup reservations reach us through our contact forms.

What we never collect

We run no advertising trackers and no third-party analytics, and we never sell personal data. The app's location permission is used on your device to find nearby fishing spots; your precise location is not uploaded to us unless you deliberately share a spot or post a catch with its location.

Data services the app talks to

Forecasts come from Open-Meteo and NOAA, and map imagery from Esri. Like any web request, those services receive the coordinates being looked up and your IP address. Their handling of that traffic is covered by their own policies.

Deleting your account

In the app: Settings → Account → Delete account. This permanently removes your account, posts, replies, likes, shared spots and synced data. You can also email [email protected] from your account email and we will delete it for you. Order records for completed purchases are kept as required for accounting.

Children

Our services are not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data.

Changes & contact

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted here with a new effective date. Questions: [email protected].

隐私政策（中文）

生效日期：2026 年 11 月 8 日 · SFBay-Tackle（「钓鱼潮汐」应用与 sfbaytackle.com）

我们收集什么

账户。如果你在「钓鱼潮汐」应用中注册账户，我们会保存你的电子邮箱（仅用于发送登录验证码）、你自愿填写的昵称与头像，以及你的收藏数据：收藏钓点、首页墙、已隐藏钓点，还有你主动选择与社区共享的钓点（共享钓点只显示名称和坐标，绝不显示是谁分享的）。

社区帖子。如果你发布渔获照片，我们会保存照片、你填写的鱼种/备注，以及你所选级别的位置信息：钓点名与精确位置、大约区域（约 5 公里取整），或不显示位置。回复与点赞会与你的账户一同保存。如果你封锁了某位用户，封锁记录会被保存，使双方互不可见、无法互动。

订单。在 sfbaytackle.com 购物时，付款由 PayPal 处理——我们从不接触或保存你的银行卡号。我们会收到你的姓名、收货地址与订单明细，用于完成订单；自取预约经由我们的联系表单送达。

我们绝不收集的

我们不使用任何广告追踪器或第三方分析工具，也从不出售个人数据。应用的定位权限只在你的设备上用于查找附近钓点；除非你主动共享钓点或发布带位置的渔获，你的精确位置不会上传给我们。

应用使用的数据服务

预报数据来自 Open-Meteo 与 NOAA，地图影像来自 Esri。与任何网络请求一样，这些服务会收到所查询的坐标与你的 IP 地址，其处理方式受其各自政策约束。

删除账户

在应用内：设定 → 账户 → 删除账户。这将永久删除你的账户、帖子、回复、点赞、共享钓点与同步数据。你也可以用账户邮箱发邮件至 [email protected]，由我们代为删除。已完成订单的记录会按财务要求保留。

儿童

我们的服务不面向 13 岁以下儿童，我们也不会有意收集其数据。

变更与联系

本政策如有变更，新版本会在本页公布并注明新的生效日期。问题请联系：[email protected]。
