Privacy Policy

Who We Are

Rigline is a fishing data analytics platform. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about how we collect, use, and protect your information.

1. Information We Collect

Rigline collects the following types of information:

Information You Provide:

• Account information (email, username, password)
• Catch data (photos, fish species, weight, length, GPS coordinates)
• Fishing trip logs, timestamps, and duration
• Lure and tackle configurations
• Rod and reel setups
• Notes and observations about fishing conditions

Automatically Collected Information:

• Precise GPS location during catches and active trips
• Device information (model, operating system, app version)
• IP address and general location
• Weather and water conditions (temperature, wind, waves, tides)
• App usage data and performance metrics

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

• Provide and maintain the Rigline app and services
• Generate personalized fishing analytics and insights

• Send transactional notifications about your account and trips
• Detect and prevent technical issues, fraud, and abuse
• Comply with legal obligations

We do not use your information for advertising or marketing purposes without your consent.

3. Location Data

Rigline collects precise GPS coordinates when you log catches and during active fishing trips. This location data is essential for:

• Recording exact catch locations
• Correlating catches with specific fishing spots
• Tracking your route during trips
• Retrieving accurate weather and water conditions

Background location is only used during active trips to track your route and automatically log environmental conditions. You can disable location services in your device settings, but this will limit core app functionality including catch logging and analytics.

4. Third-Party Services & Data Sharing

We use trusted third-party service providers to operate Rigline. These providers may access your information only to perform services on our behalf:

• Cloud hosting and database services (Supabase) - stores your account, catches, and trip data
• Photo storage and delivery (Supabase Storage) - stores catch photos
• Authentication services (Supabase Auth) - manages secure login
• Map services (Mapbox) - displays maps and location data
• Weather data services (Stormglass) - retrieves marine weather conditions
• App infrastructure (Expo/EAS) - delivers app updates and notifications

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for their marketing purposes. Your fishing data is private by default and is not shared with other users or made public.

5. Data Analytics & Aggregated Insights

Rigline is a data analytics platform. We may use aggregated, de-identified data to:

• Improve fishing pattern recognition and insights
• Identify broader trends in catch success and conditions
• Enhance lure and tackle recommendations
• Develop new analytics features

Aggregated data cannot be used to identify you personally. In the future, we may offer an optional program to contribute anonymized data to improve collective fishing insights. This will always be opt-in.

6. Photo Storage & Ownership

Photos you upload are stored securely in the cloud. You retain full ownership of your photos and can delete them at any time through the app. Deleted photos are removed from active storage immediately and from backups within 30 days.

7. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data, including:

• Encryption in transit (HTTPS/TLS)
• Encryption at rest for sensitive data
• Secure authentication and password hashing
• Regular security updates and monitoring

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Data Retention & Deletion

We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services. You can request deletion of your account and data at any time.

To Delete Your Account:

• Or email townsendhtanner@gmail.com with your deletion request

Upon account deletion:

• Your account and personal data are deleted immediately
