We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services before providing them with your personal information.

5. DO WE USE COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES?

In Short: We may use cookies and other tracking technologies to collect and store your information.

We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and pixels) to access or store information. Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your device's hard drive through your web browser that enables the site's or service provider's systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information.

Types of Cookies We Use:

  • Essential Cookies: These cookies are necessary for the Services to function properly. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility. You cannot opt-out of essential cookies.

  • Analytics Cookies: We use PostHog analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our Services. These cookies collect information about which pages you visit, how long you spend on each page, and what features you use. This information helps us improve our Services.

Managing Cookies:

Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove cookies and to reject cookies. If you choose to remove cookies or reject cookies, this could affect certain features or services of our Services. You may also opt out of interest-based advertising by advertisers on our Services.

6. HOW DO WE HANDLE YOUR SOCIAL LOGINS?

In Short: If you choose to register or log in to our Services using a social media account, we may have access to certain information about you.

Our Services offer you the ability to register and log in using your third-party social media account details (like your Facebook or Twitter logins). Where you choose to do this, we will receive certain profile information about you from your social media provider.

The profile information we receive may vary depending on the social media provider concerned, but will often include your name, email address, friends list, and profile picture, as well as other information you choose to make public on such a social media platform.

We will use the information we receive only for the purposes that are described in this privacy notice or that are otherwise made clear to you on the relevant Services. Please note that we do not control, and are not responsible for, other uses of your personal information by your third-party social media provider.

We recommend that you review their privacy notice to understand how they collect, use, and share your personal information, and how you can set your privacy preferences on their sites and apps.

7. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?

In Short: We keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this privacy notice unless otherwise required by law.

We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy notice, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements).

General Retention Practices:

  • Account Information: We retain your account information (name, email, username) for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you Services.

  • Subscription and Payment Data: We retain transaction records and subscription history as required by applicable tax, accounting, and legal compliance requirements.

  • User-Generated Content: Fishing reports, geonotes, and photos you upload are retained for as long as your account is active. If you delete specific content, it will be removed from public view immediately but may remain in backups for a reasonable period.

  • Analytics and Usage Data: We retain analytics and usage data for a reasonable period for statistical analysis and service improvement.

  • Account Deletion: Upon your request to terminate your account, we will deactivate or delete your account and information from our active databases. However, we may retain some information in our files to prevent fraud, troubleshoot problems, assist with any investigations, enforce our legal terms, and/or comply with applicable legal requirements as permitted or required by law.

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize such information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

8. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?

In Short: We aim to protect your personal information through a system of organizational and technical security measures.

We have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. These measures include:

  • Encryption: We use industry-standard encryption (TLS/SSL) to protect data transmitted between your device and our servers.

  • Secure Authentication: We implement magic link authentication and secure session management with HTTP-only cookies and JWT tokens.

  • Access Controls: We limit access to personal information to employees, contractors, and service providers who have a legitimate business need to access such information.

  • Regular Security Assessments: We conduct regular security reviews and assessments of our Services and infrastructure.

  • Secure Infrastructure: We use Cloudflare Workers and other reputable cloud infrastructure providers with strong security practices.

  • Data Minimization: We collect and retain only the personal information necessary to provide our Services.

However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information.

Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our Services is at your own risk. You should only access the Services within a secure environment.

Your Role in Security: You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials. Please notify us immediately if you suspect any unauthorized access to your account.

9. DO WE COLLECT INFORMATION FROM MINORS?

In Short: We do not knowingly collect data from or market to children under 13 years of age.

The Services are not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly solicit data from or market to children under 13 years of age. By using the Services, you represent that you are at least 13 years old.

If you are between 13 and 18 years of age (or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction), you must have your parent or guardian's permission to use the Services and they must have reviewed and agreed to our Terms of Service and this Privacy Policy on your behalf.

If we learn that personal information from users less than 13 years of age has been collected, we will deactivate the account and take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from our records. If you become aware of any data we may have collected from children under age 13, please contact us at support@fishbyte.app.

10. WHAT ARE YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS?

You can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us using the contact details provided in the section "HOW CAN YOU CONTACT US ABOUT THIS NOTICE?" below.

However, please note that this will not affect the lawfulness of the processing before its withdrawal nor, when applicable law allows, will it affect the processing of your personal information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.

Cookies and similar technologies

Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove cookies and to reject cookies. If you choose to remove cookies or reject cookies, this could affect certain features or services of our Services.

11. CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES

Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track ("DNT") feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected.

At this stage no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this privacy notice.

12. DATA BREACH NOTIFICATION

In Short: We will notify you of any data breaches that may affect your personal information in accordance with applicable law.

In the event of a data breach that affects your personal information, we will notify you without undue delay and in accordance with applicable data protection laws. Notification will be provided via email to the address associated with your account and/or by a prominent notice on our Services.

These countries may have data protection laws that are different from the laws of your country. However, we have taken appropriate safeguards to require that your personal information will remain protected in accordance with this privacy notice.

European Users: If you are in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom (UK), or Switzerland, we comply with applicable data protection laws regarding the transfer of personal information to countries outside of the EEA, UK, and Switzerland.

All other individuals are defined as "non-residents."

If this definition of "resident" applies to you, we must adhere to certain rights and obligations regarding your personal information.

You can ask for the deletion of your personal information. If you ask us to delete your personal information, we will respect your request and delete your personal information, subject to certain exceptions provided by law, such as (but not limited to) the exercise by another consumer of his or her right to free speech, our compliance requirements resulting from a legal obligation, or any processing that may be required to protect against illegal activities.

Depending on the circumstances, you have a right to know:

  • whether we collect and use your personal information;
  • the categories of personal information that we collect;
  • the purposes for which the collected personal information is used;

Verification process

Upon receiving your request, we will need to verify your identity to determine you are the same person about whom we have the information in our system. These verification efforts require us to ask you to provide information so that we can match it with information you have previously provided us.

For instance, depending on the type of request you submit, we may ask you to provide certain information so that we can match the information you provide with the information we already have on file, or we may contact you through a communication method (e.g., email) that you have previously provided to us.

We will only use personal information provided in your request to verify your identity or authority to make the request. To the extent possible, we will avoid requesting additional information from you for the purposes of verification.
