Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 31, 2026

Who we are

Riffle is operated by Riffle Labs LLC ("we," "us," or "our"). If you have questions about this policy, contact us at hello@riffle.run.

What we collect

We collect only what's necessary to provide the Riffle experience:

• Account information — your email address and, if you sign in with Apple or Google, the name and profile photo associated with that account.
• Location data — GPS coordinates captured during trips and when you log a catch. This data is stored under your account and is never shared with other users or third parties.
• Catch and trip data — species, size, weight, lure, notes, and any other details you choose to enter.
• Photos — images you take or select from your library when logging a catch. Photos are stored securely in your account.
• Device and usage data — basic crash reports and performance data to help us fix bugs. This does not include your catch or location data.

What we do not collect

• We do not collect your contacts, calendar, or any data outside the Riffle app.
• We do not collect advertising identifiers or track you across other apps or websites.
• We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party.
• We do not use your fishing locations or catch data for any purpose other than providing your personal log.

How we use your data

Your data is used solely to:

• Provide and sync your personal Riffle log across your devices.
• Display your trips, catches, and routes within the app.
• Improve app stability and performance using anonymized crash reports.
• Respond to support requests you initiate.

Third-party services

Riffle uses the following third-party services to operate:

• Firebase (Google) — authentication, database, and photo storage. Your data is stored on Firebase's infrastructure. See Firebase's privacy policy.
• Apple WeatherKit — used to fetch weather conditions for your location during a trip. Only your GPS coordinates are sent to WeatherKit; no personal data is transmitted.
• Apple MapKit — used to render maps within the app. No personal data is sent to Apple beyond what Apple's standard frameworks collect.
• RevenueCat — used to manage subscriptions if you upgrade to Riffle Pro. See RevenueCat's privacy policy. (Applies only to paid subscribers.)

Data storage and security

Your data is stored in Firebase, which uses industry-standard encryption in transit and at rest. Access to your data is restricted to your account — other Riffle users cannot see your catches, routes, or photos.

Riffle is designed to work offline. When you're in the field without signal, data is saved locally on your device and synced to your account when you reconnect.

Your rights

You can:

• Access your data — all your catches and trips are visible within the app.
• Export your data — use the export feature in Settings to download your catches as a CSV file.
• Delete your account — use the "Delete Account" option in Settings to permanently delete your account and all associated data. This cannot be undone.
• Contact us — email hello@riffle.run with any privacy questions or requests.

Children's privacy

Riffle is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

Changes to this policy

If we make material changes to this policy, we'll update the date at the top of this page and notify you within the app. Continued use of Riffle after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
