The short version: Glacier Ice Fisher does not require an account and does not collect, sell, or share your personal information. Everything you create in the app — your profile, catches, hotspots, gear, and settings — is stored only on your device. We do not use analytics or advertising trackers.
1. Who this policy covers
This Privacy Policy describes how the mobile application Glacier Ice Fisher (the “App”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) handles information. By using the App you agree to the practices described here. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the App.
2. Information stored on your device
The App is designed to work entirely on your device. The following information you enter is saved locally in the App’s private storage and is not transmitted to us:
- Your angler profile (display name, home lake, and an optional profile photo you choose or take);
- Your logged catches (species, weight, length, date, and location name);
- Fishing hotspots you save, including their map coordinates and your notes;
- Your gear checklist and in-app preferences;
- In-app progress and virtual “Glacier Coins.”
Because this data lives only on your device, we have no access to it and cannot recover it if you delete the App.
3. Camera and photo library
With your permission, the App can access your camera or photo library so you can set a profile picture. The selected image is stored on your device only and is never uploaded to us or shared with third parties. You can decline or revoke this permission at any time in your device’s Settings.
4. Location
With your permission, the App uses your device location while you are using the App to center the map and to let you drop and save fishing hotspots. Coordinates you save are stored locally on your device. We do not track your location in the background and we do not send your location history to our servers. You can decline or revoke location access at any time in your device’s Settings.
5. Weather forecasts
To show live conditions and a fishing forecast, the App requests weather data from Open-Meteo, a third-party weather service. To retrieve a forecast, the App sends an approximate latitude and longitude (either the default fishing region or your current location, if you have granted access) to Open-Meteo. No name, account, device identifier, or other personal identifier is sent. Open-Meteo’s handling of requests is governed by its own terms and privacy practices.
6. Third-party web content
The App includes an in-app reader that displays public reference pages (such as encyclopedia articles) from third-party websites. When you open these pages, the relevant website may receive standard request information (such as your IP address) as it would in any web browser. These websites are operated independently and are subject to their own privacy policies.
7. What we do not do
- We do not require you to create an account or sign in.
- We do not use third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking SDKs.
- We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information.
- Leaderboard standings shown in the App are sample data and are not linked to your identity.
8. Data retention and deletion
Your information remains on your device until you remove it. You can erase your in-app data at any time using Settings → Reset All Progress, and deleting the App from your device permanently removes all locally stored data.
9. Children’s privacy
The App is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Because the App does not collect personal information from any user, no such information about children is gathered by us.
10. Security
Information you create is stored within the App’s sandboxed storage on your device, protected by your device’s operating system. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, but because we do not collect or hold your data on our own servers, the risk of a server-side breach of your information does not apply.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above. Material changes will be reflected in an updated version of the App and this page. Your continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
