Privacy policy
Updated September 23, 2026
1About this policy
This policy covers the FishTail app and the website at fishtail.team, which are run by FishTail Team. "We" means FishTail Team, and "you" means anyone who uses the app or visits the website.
2What we collect
- Account information you give us: your email address, your name, a display name and a password.
- Your catches: what you record about each catch, including where and when you caught it.
- Location: your phone's precise location while you use the app, if you allow it.
- Photos: the photos you take or choose for a catch, if you allow it, and the location and camera details stored in them.
- Invitations: the email address of anyone you invite.
- Technical information: IP addresses and request details, recorded automatically when your phone or browser connects to our servers.
3How we use it
We use your information only to provide FishTail: to run your account, store your catches and keep them in step across your phones, place a catch and show it on a map, date and place a catch from its photo, show what you share to your team, send the emails about your account and your invitations, get the weather for a catch when you ask, and keep the service working and secure.
5Cookies and tracking
The website does not use cookies. FishTail shows no advertising and uses no analytics or tracking, and no one else collects information about your activity across other apps or websites through FishTail. Because nothing tracks you, a Do Not Track signal changes nothing.
6Keeping and deleting
We keep your information while you have an account.
You can delete your account in the app. That deletes your account information, catches and photos right away. Your display name stays in the results of team events that have already finished. You can also ask for deletion by email to privacy@fishtail.team, from the address on your account.
An invited email address is kept until the invitation is accepted, revoked, or expires.
Request logs are kept for a limited time to run and secure the service, then deleted.
7Your choices
You can see and change your account information and your catches in the app, export your catches, and turn off location, camera and photo access in your phone's settings.
8Security
We protect your information with encrypted connections and access controls. No method is perfectly secure.
9Children
FishTail is for people 13 and older. If you believe a child under 13 has an account, email privacy@fishtail.team and we will delete it.
10Changes
When this policy changes, we post the new version here and update the date at the top.
