Privacy Policy

Information we collect

• Account: your email address and a securely hashed password, so you can sign in and keep your data.
• Your content: catches you log (species, size, notes, and later photos), fishing spots you save, and gear/setups you record.
• Location you enter: the ZIP code or town you set as your area, and coordinates for spots you save, used to show nearby fish, weather, and maps.
• Basic usage/diagnostic data: standard logs your browser or device sends (such as IP address) used to operate and secure the service.

How we use it

To provide the app: authenticate you, store your catches and spots, and generate recommendations from public weather and species data based on the area you provide. We do not sell your personal information.

Third-party services

We rely on a few providers to run Creel. Your area coordinates or search terms may be sent to these to fetch results:

• Supabase — account, database, and authentication hosting.
• Netlify — website hosting.
• Resend — sending account emails (e.g., confirmation).
• iNaturalist — community fish observations and photos near you.
• NOAA / National Weather Service — weather conditions.
• OpenStreetMap, Google Maps, Zippopotam, Nominatim — maps and geocoding.

If we add advertising in the mobile app, ad partners (such as Google AdMob) may collect device identifiers to show ads; we'll update this policy and, where required, ask for your consent.

Your choices & rights

• Edit or delete individual catches and spots at any time.
• Delete your account and all associated data from your account page. This is permanent.
• Request a copy of your data by emailing us.

Data retention & security

We keep your data until you delete it or your account. Data is protected with encryption in transit and row-level access controls so you can only access your own records. No method is 100% secure, but we take reasonable measures to protect it.

Children

Creel isn't directed to children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their information.

Changes

We'll update this page when our practices change and revise the date above.
