Privacy Policy

Your privacy is important to us. Here's how we handle your data.

This Privacy Policy describes how 3rdcoast-reeltime ("we," "us," or "our") handles information when you use our website. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency in how we use data to provide our services.

Information We Collect

To provide our fishing forecasts, we collect the following types of information:

  • Location Data: When you search for a fishing location, we collect the location name, latitude, and longitude you provide. This information is essential for generating a specific forecast for that area.
  • Anonymized Usage Data: Your search queries are sent to third-party services (like Google Gemini) to generate AI-powered insights. These queries are processed anonymously and are not linked to any personal identifiers.

How We Use Information

The data we collect is used exclusively for the following purposes:

  • To fetch and generate real-time weather, tide, solunar, and other environmental data for the location you specified.
  • To provide that data to our AI models, which generate the fishing forecast and tackle recommendations.
  • To improve the accuracy and relevance of our forecasting services over time.

Data Storage and Sharing

We do not store your location searches. Each forecast request is a stateless transaction. We do not create user accounts, and we do not link search data to any personal information. We do not sell, trade, or rent your information to any third parties.

Third-Party Services

Our service relies on data from third-party providers (such as weather APIs and AI model providers). While we send them the necessary data to fulfill a request (e.g., coordinates), we do not send any personal information. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these services for more information.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.
