# Privacy Policy

> What Rivr collects, why, who it's shared with, and how to delete it.

*Last updated: September 26, 2026*

Rivr is made by OnDeck Apps ("we"). This policy covers the Rivr iOS app and its widgets.

## The short version

* You can use Rivr without an account. Without one, your trips, fly box and settings stay on your device.
* Fly-box scanning runs on your device.
* We don't sell your data, show ads, or track you across other apps or websites.
* Sharing data to improve Rivr is off unless you turn it on, and what you share isn't tied to your account.
* You can delete your account and synced data from inside the app at any time.

## What we collect

**If you sign in with Apple and turn on sync**, we store the following so it can be restored across your devices:

* An account identifier from Apple. We don't ask Apple for your name or email.
* Your trip log: the water, date, fishing method, time fished, how many anglers, fish counts, catches and flies, notes, the conditions at the time, and the GPS location you logged.
* Your saved waters, condition-alert rules and app settings.

**If you turn on condition alerts or live widgets**, we store your device's push notification tokens, the waters you're watching, alert delivery records, and the condition readings used to evaluate your alerts, so we can send those notifications.

**If you turn on "Help improve Rivr"** (off by default):

* *Fly scans:* the cropped image of a single fly, the pattern name you chose, and the app's guess. This is sent with a random identifier, not your account. It doesn't include your location or your full fly-box photo.
* *Trip insights:* a summary of the trip (the water, season, method, fish counts, catches and conditions) under random identifiers. It doesn't include your notes, photos or GPS location.

**If you report a data problem** for a water, we receive the water, your description and the location shown on the map. This isn't tied to your account.

## Location

Rivr asks for your location only while you're using the app. It uses it to find nearby waters, match regulation boundaries, and look up weather. To get that data, coordinates are sent to Apple Weather and to public government data services (such as USGS and the U.S. Census geocoder). Rivr doesn't track your location in the background. A location is stored on our servers only when you save it in a synced trip or include it in a data-problem report.

## Who we share data with

We don't sell or rent personal data. We use these service providers to run Rivr:

* **Supabase** hosts our database, storage and account sign-in.
* **Apple** provides Sign in with Apple, push notifications and Apple Weather.
* **Public data services** (USGS, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, TVA, the Southwestern Power Administration, the U.S. Census Bureau, iNaturalist, GBIF) receive the map coordinates or site identifiers needed to answer a lookup. They don't receive your account information.

We may disclose information if the law requires it.

## Keeping and deleting data

* **Delete your account:** go to Settings → Account → Delete Account. This permanently deletes your synced trip log, fly-pattern performance history, saved waters, alert rules and app settings, and deletes your account, and revokes Rivr's Sign in with Apple access. It also removes the push registration and alert history from our servers for every device signed in to that account; any alert settings saved on those phones stay on the phones.
* **Delete contributions:** go to Settings → Help improve Rivr. From there you can stop sharing and delete everything this device has contributed.
* Data on your device stays until you delete it in the app or delete the app.
* Server backups age out within 30 days.

## Children

Rivr isn't directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their personal information.

## Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or export your data. Most of this is built into the app. For anything else, email [support@ondeckapps.com](mailto:support@ondeckapps.com) and we'll respond within 30 days.

## Changes

If we change this policy, we'll update the date above. If a change is significant, we'll also tell you in the app.
