Privacy Policy

Effective date: September 22, 2026

Bobber is an app made by Eeronautic LLC, a Missouri limited liability company ("Eeronautic," "we," "us"). This policy explains what information Bobber collects, how we use it, and the choices you have. It applies to the Bobber mobile app and bobberfishing.com (together, the "Service").

1. Information we collect

Information you give us

• Account information: your name, email address, and sign-in method when you create an account with Sign in with Apple, Google, or email.
• Profile information: information you add to your profile.
• Content you create: catch photos, catch details, waypoints, fishing areas, and notes you add to the app.
• Messages you send us, such as support requests.

Information collected with your permission

• Location: when you're using the app, we use your device's location so you can save waypoints and fishing areas. We do not collect your location in the background. You can turn off location access at any time in your device settings; some features won't work without it. See "Location and our service providers" in Section 3 for how location is handled when we request conditions, tides, and AI features.
• Camera and photos: we access your camera or photo library only when you choose to add a photo.

Information collected automatically

• Device and usage information: device type, operating system, app version, general usage data, and crash reports.

Purchase information

If you subscribe to Bobber Pro, Apple or Google processes your payment. We do not receive your card or payment details. We receive information about your purchase, such as your subscription status, product, and purchase dates.

2. How we use information

We use information to:

• Provide, operate, and improve the Service and its features, including fish identification, trip notes, maps, weather, marine, and tide information
• Manage your account and your Bobber Pro subscription
• Respond to support requests and communicate with you about the Service
• Diagnose problems, maintain security, and prevent misuse
• Comply with legal obligations

3. How we share information

We share information only in these cases:

Service providers who help us run the Service, under terms that limit their use of your information to providing services to us:

Location and our service providers

• Open-Meteo, NOAA, and Gemini: these requests are sent from our servers, not your device. They do not include your name, email, account ID, or device ID, and the providers see our servers' IP address, not yours. NOAA receives only a tide station ID and dates, never coordinates. Location sent to Gemini is rounded to about 11 km and included as plain text in the request. Gemini requests use one app-wide API key rather than a per-user key and carry no identifier linking them to your Bobber account.
• Mapbox: maps load directly from your device, so Mapbox receives your device's IP address, which can indicate your general area. Map requests identify the Bobber app, not your Bobber account. Mapbox's software may also collect its own anonymous usage and location telemetry, which can include a device-level identifier. This telemetry is not linked to your Bobber account and is governed by Mapbox's privacy policy.

We may also share information:

• For legal and safety reasons, when required by law or needed to protect the rights, safety, or property of our users, Eeronautic, or others.
• In a business transfer, if Eeronautic is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to this policy.
• With your consent or at your direction.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for third-party advertising.

4. Data retention

We keep your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. When you delete your account, we delete or de-identify your personal information within 30 days, except where we must keep it to comply with law, resolve disputes, or enforce our agreements. Purchase records may be kept as required for tax and accounting purposes.

5. Your choices and rights

• Access, correct, or delete: you can update information in the app or contact us to access, correct, or delete it.
• Delete your account: in the app, go to Logbook → Settings → Delete Account. You can also request deletion at bobberfishing.com/delete-account or by emailing us. Deleting your account does not cancel a Bobber Pro subscription; cancel it separately (see our Terms of Service).
• Permissions: you can turn off location, camera, photo, and notification access in your device settings.
• State privacy rights: depending on where you live (for example, California), you may have additional rights to know, access, correct, or delete your personal information, and to not be discriminated against for exercising them. To make a request, contact us at the address below. We may need to verify your identity.

6. Children

The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has given us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

7. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Where information is processed

Eeronautic is based in the United States. Your information is processed and stored in the United States and wherever our service providers operate.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you in the app or by other reasonable means before they take effect. The effective date above shows when the policy was last updated.
