1. What types of information do we collect?
1.1 Information you provide
Information you provide when registering or using our services that can be used to identify you, such as your phone number for login or basic information obtained via WeChat login.
1.2 Information collected during service usage
1.2.1 Device information We may collect device-related information based on permissions you grant during installation or use, such as device model, operating system version, and other device attributes.
1.2.2 Log information Technical logs generated during app operation, such as runtime error logs.
1.2.3 Notification permission When using reminder features, FishingMate may request notification access. If denied, you will not be able to use notification-related features, but other app functions will remain unaffected.
1.2.4 Location permission Core features such as weather and maps rely on location data. We may request location access to provide relevant services. If denied, some features may be limited.
1.2.5 Transaction information When purchasing membership services, we may collect order and payment-related information for record-keeping purposes.
1.2.6 Non-personal information We may collect aggregated, non-identifiable data such as page views, request counts, error statistics, and crash reports. This data is used solely to improve our services.
1.2.7 Permission management You may revoke permissions at any time. Once revoked, we will stop collecting data from the corresponding permission, but previously collected data may still be processed as permitted by law.
1.2.8 Photo EXIF information To improve the accuracy of fishing catch records, the app may read the timestamp metadata (EXIF) from photos you upload or take. We only access the capture date and time to automatically record or assist in determining when the catch occurred.
We do not collect or store other EXIF data unrelated to this feature (such as device serial numbers). This information is used only for catch record functionality and is not used for advertising, profiling, or any unauthorized purpose.
You may disable EXIF reading at any time in settings. Once disabled, the app will no longer read photo timestamps, and you will need to enter catch time manually.
