Rather Be Fishing - Fishing Logbook
Last updated: May 8, 2026
Overview
Rather Be Fishing - Fishing Logbook is designed as an offline-first fishing logbook. We do not operate servers that receive, store, or sync your trip, catch, photo, 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 or Google account settings.
Information We Do Not Collect
- We do not collect personal information from you.
- 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.
- Unit preferences and display settings.
Internet Features
Most logbook features work offline. Some optional features need an internet connection, including location search, map display, weather 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 or a weather provider. Rather Be Fishing does not receive or store that information on its own servers.
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.
