Overview
MobileMountaineer ("the App") is developed by Russell White. Your privacy is important to us. This policy explains what data the App collects, how it is used, and your choices.
Data We Collect
Precise Location
The App uses your device's location to fetch weather forecasts and solunar data for the water you're fishing. Your location is sent to Apple's WeatherKit service to retrieve current conditions, hourly forecasts, and daily forecasts. Location data is used only while the App is in use and is not stored on any server we operate.
Health Data (Heart Rate)
With your permission, the App reads your heart rate from Apple HealthKit briefly around the time you log a catch. This data is used solely within the App to show your "hookset excitement spike" and is never transmitted off your device or shared with any third party. The App does not write any data to HealthKit.
How We Use Your Data
- Location: Used exclusively for App functionality — fetching weather, solunar windows, and generating fishing recommendations. Not used for advertising or tracking.
- Health data: Used exclusively within the App to display heart rate alongside your catch log. Not used for advertising or tracking.
Data Sharing
We do not sell, share, or transfer your personal data to third parties for advertising or marketing purposes. Location data is sent to Apple's WeatherKit API solely to retrieve weather information. No other third-party services receive your data.
Data Storage
All trip logs, catch records, and preferences are stored locally on your device. If you use SharePlay to share a fishing session, real-time trip data is transmitted to participants via Apple's Group Activities framework and is not stored on any external server.
Data Linked to Your Identity
None of the data collected by MobileMountaineer is linked to your identity.
Tracking
MobileMountaineer does not track you across apps or websites owned by other companies. The App does not use any advertising identifiers or analytics SDKs.
Children's Privacy
The App is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Your Choices
- You can revoke location access at any time in Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services.
- You can revoke HealthKit access in Settings > Privacy & Security > Health > MobileMountaineer.
- You can delete all local data by uninstalling the App.
