Privacy policy

This policy covers the Floundr iPhone app and this website, floundr.app. Questions: fishingapparelnetwork@gmail.com.

What stays on your device and your iCloud

Spots you save (names, notes, positions), and in later versions trip tracks and trip logs (guests, purpose, revenue, expenses, catches), are stored on your device and synced through Apple iCloud to your own private iCloud database so they appear on your other devices. We cannot see, access or recover this data. It is never uploaded to a server we control.

Location

Floundr asks for your location to show your position on the map and coordinates screen and to save spots where you are. It is used on your device only. Floundr does not collect your location or send it to us. When the trip recorder is released, it will use location in the background only while you are recording a trip, and only if you allow it.

Map and data services your device contacts

To draw the chart, the app downloads map images directly from NOAA's public chart service. Future conditions and relief layers will be downloaded from public NOAA data and from our own file storage. Like any website, those servers see your device's IP address when they send a file. We don't receive your location from them.

Firebase (Google)

The apparel brand directory is published from Google Firebase Realtime Database, which the app reads. The app does not send your personal information to it, and Floundr does not include Firebase Analytics or advertising SDKs. When reviews launch, signing in with Apple will be required to post a review; your review, a display name and an Apple-provided account identifier will then be stored in Google Firebase so others can read your review. You will be able to delete your account and reviews in the app.

Subscriptions

Purchases are processed by Apple. We never see your payment details. Apple tells the app whether your subscription is active so Pro features unlock.

This website

If you fill in a form on floundr.app (the beta invite or a brand listing), we receive what you type: for example your name, email and message. We use it only to answer you or send your TestFlight invite. The site is hosted on Bulk Pages, which records page views and clicks to measure how the site is used, and which delivers your form to us.

What we don't do

• We do not sell your data, and we do not share it for advertising.
• There are no ads in Floundr.
• We do not track you across other companies' apps or websites.

Your choices

You can turn off location access in iOS Settings, delete any spot in the app, and delete Floundr's iCloud data in iOS Settings. To ask about or delete anything you sent through a website form, email fishingapparelnetwork@gmail.com.

Children

Floundr is not directed to children under 13 and we don't knowingly collect their information.

Changes

If this policy changes, we'll update the date above and, for significant changes, note it in the app.
