Privacy Policy
This privacy policy is applicable to the Angler GO app (hereinafter referred to as “Application”) for mobile devices, which was developed by Jian Zhang (hereinafter referred to as “Service Provider”) as a Freemium service. This service is provided “AS IS”.
What information does the Application obtain and how is it used?
Information you provide:
This information is used to provide the core features of the Application: identifying fish species, building your personal catch collection, showing fishing conditions, community features, and support. The Service Provider may also use the information you provided to contact you from time to time with important information and required notices.
What information does the Application collect automatically?
The Application may collect certain information automatically, including, but not limited to, the type of mobile device you use, your mobile device’s operating system, and information about the way you use the Application:
The Application contains no advertising and does not track you across other companies’ apps or websites.
Does the Application collect precise real time location information of the device?
Yes, with your permission. Location is used to:
You control location entirely: you can deny the permission, and inside the Application you can set per-catch location sharing to off, approximate (town level), or precise, independent of what is stored for your own records.
What information is visible to other users?
The Application includes community features (a public catch feed, leaderboards, and friends). What other users can see is controlled by your settings:
Does the Application use Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies?
Yes, in three specific ways:
Data sent to OpenAI’s API is handled under OpenAI’s API data-usage policies. AI results (species suggestions, plans, condition ratings) are informational and can be wrong.
Do third parties see and/or have access to information obtained by the Application?
The Application relies on trusted service providers (“processors”) to operate. They receive only what is needed for their function, do not have an independent right to use it, and maintain their own privacy policies:
The Service Provider does not sell your personal information and does not share it with third parties for advertising.
The Service Provider may also disclose User Provided and Automatically Collected Information:
What are my opt-out rights?
You can stop sharing with other users at any time with Privacy Mode and the location-sharing settings. You can deny or revoke the location, camera, photo, and notification permissions in your device settings. You can halt all collection of information by uninstalling the Application and deleting your account.
What is the data retention policy and how can you manage your information?
You can delete your account and data at any time directly in the Application: Profile tab → Profile → Danger Zone → Delete Account. This permanently removes your account, catches and photos, feed activity, friends, progress, and preferences. You may also request deletion by email at onlysword.anglergo@gmail.com; see the Account & Data Deletion page for the full list of what is deleted and retained.
After deletion, the only things retained are anonymized regional fishing-condition aggregates (counts and averages for an area, containing no identity, photos, or per-catch data) and records the Service Provider is legally required to keep. Automatically collected diagnostic information is retained for up to 24 months and thereafter may be stored in aggregate.
How does the Application address children’s privacy?
The Service Provider does not use the Application to knowingly solicit data from or market to children under the age of 13. The Application does not address anyone under the age of 13. The Service Provider does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13 years of age. In the case the Service Provider discovers that a child under 13 has provided personal information, the Service Provider will immediately delete this from their servers. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact the Service Provider (onlysword.anglergo@gmail.com) so that they will be able to take the necessary actions.
How is your information kept secure?
The Service Provider is concerned about safeguarding the confidentiality of your information and provides physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect information processed and maintained. Data is encrypted in transit. Access to personal information is limited to what is needed to operate, develop, or improve the Application. Please be aware that, although reasonable security is provided for information processed and maintained, no security system can prevent all potential security breaches.
How will you be informed of changes to this Privacy Policy?
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time for any reason. The Service Provider will notify you of any changes by updating this page with the new Privacy Policy. You are advised to consult this Privacy Policy regularly for any changes, as continued use is deemed approval of all changes.
This privacy policy is effective as of 2026-07-14.
How do you give your consent?
By using the Application, you are giving your consent to the Service Provider’s processing of your information as set forth in this Privacy Policy now and as amended by us.
