Privacy Policy

Your fishing spots stay private, on your device. We collect anonymous usage analytics to improve the app — never your locations.

Last Updated: December 13, 2025

Privacy at a Glance

✓ Your spots stay secret — we never collect your fishing locations

✓ Local storage only — all waypoints stored on your device

✓ Your cloud, your control — backups go to your iCloud/Google Drive

✓ No advertising — we don't sell any data

✓ No account required — use without personal info

✓ On-device intelligence — pattern analysis happens locally

Anonymous Usage Analytics

To improve Get Hooked! and understand which features are valuable, we collect anonymous usage data via Google Firebase Analytics.

✓ What Analytics Includes

  • Which screens you visit
  • Which features you use
  • App crashes and error reports
  • Device type and OS version
  • Counts only (e.g., "50 waypoints")

✗ What Analytics NEVER Includes

  • Your fishing locations or coordinates
  • Names of waypoints, lakes, or rivers
  • Contents of your GPX files
  • Your catch records
  • Any GPS coordinates

Information Stored Locally

All of the following stays on YOUR device:

  • Waypoint Data: GPS coordinates, names, descriptions for your fishing spots
  • GPX Files: Imported files and their waypoints
  • Catch Records: Species, conditions, timestamps
  • River Favorites: USGS stations and flow alert thresholds
  • Pattern Analysis: Correlations and insights from your history
  • Angler DNA: Your fishing archetype and personality profile

This data never leaves your device unless you explicitly back it up to iCloud/Google Drive or share it with others.

What We Don't Do

  • Collect or store your fishing spot locations
  • Track which bodies of water you fish
  • Monitor your fishing patterns or success rates
  • Sell or share any data about you
  • Use advertising networks or behavioral advertising
  • Require account creation or personal information

  • Deletion: Delete waypoints, GPX files, catch records, or all app data at any time

Bottom line: Get Hooked! is built with privacy as the foundation. Your fishing spots are yours alone. We can't see them, we don't want to see them, and we've designed the app so that they never leave your control. Fish on, privately. 🎣
