Rather Be Fishing - Fishing Logbook

Overview

Rather Be Fishing - Fishing Logbook is designed as an offline-first fishing logbook. We do not operate account or cloud-sync servers for your trip, catch, location, or settings data.

Your logbook data is stored locally on your device unless you choose to export it or your device operating system backs it up according to your Android, iOS, Google, or Apple account settings.

Information We Do Not Collect

• We do not collect personal information from app use unless you choose to contact support.
• We do not create user accounts.
• We do not store your fishing logs on Rather Be Fishing servers.
• We do not sell your personal information.
• We do not use our own analytics service to track your behavior.

Data Stored Locally on Your Device

The app may store the following information locally so the logbook can work:

• Fishing trips, catches, notes, bait, techniques, and species names.
• Catch photos and selected thumbnail settings.
• Location names, latitude, longitude, and optional accuracy values.
• Weather and environmental details saved with catches.
• Saved locations, autocomplete entries, backup history, and exported backup or CSV files that you choose to create.
• Unit preferences and display settings.

Support Requests

If you contact support by email or through the website support form, we may receive the name or nickname you provide, your optional email address, your selected platform, and your message. This information is used only to understand and respond to your support request.

If you do not provide an email address in the support form, we may not be able to reply directly.

Backup and Export

The app can create local backup files and CSV exports when you choose to use those tools. Backup files may include trips, catches, photos, saved locations, settings, and autocomplete lists. CSV exports contain spreadsheet-friendly trip and catch information.

These files are saved only where you choose to save or share them. Rather Be Fishing does not receive, collect, host, or store backup or CSV export files.

Internet Features

Most logbook features work offline. Some optional features need an internet connection, including location search, map display, weather lookup, FishID online species lookup, and ads.

When you use location search, maps, or weather lookup, the information needed for that request may be sent to third-party services such as Google Maps Platform, Apple MapKit, geocoding services, or a weather provider.

FishID photo analysis uses an online AI verification service to suggest possible common-name fish species from a selected catch photo. The app only shows suggestions when the verifier returns a confident match.

Advertising

The app may show ads served by Google AdMob. Google may collect or process information to provide, measure, and improve ads according to Google's own policies and your device settings.

You can review Google's privacy practices at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

Permissions

The app may request permissions only when needed for app features, such as selecting photos, using maps, connecting to the internet, or saving location details for a catch.

Your Choices

• You can add, edit, or delete trips and catches inside the app.
• You can choose whether to use internet-based location and weather features.
• You can remove locally stored app data by deleting records in the app or uninstalling the app.

Children's Privacy

The app is not designed to knowingly collect personal information from children. Since we do not operate servers for user data, we do not knowingly receive personal information from children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as the app changes. When we do, we will update the date at the top of this page.
