Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 2026
Overview
HookLine ("we", "us", "our") is a fishing community app. This policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, and how you control it. We don't sell your data.
What we collect
- Account info: Email address, username, and optional profile details (home state, bio, avatar).
- Catch logs: Species, weight, length, location (if you choose to attach a spot), bait, photos, and notes you enter.
- Location data: Only when you use map features or attach a spot to a catch. We do not track your location in the background.
- Usage data: Pages visited and features used, to understand how to improve the app.
- Device info: Browser type, operating system, and device model for debugging and compatibility.
How we use your data
- To operate the app and deliver features you use
- To personalize your experience (spot recommendations, feed)
- To send notifications you opt into (new followers, comments)
- To process payments via Stripe for Pro subscriptions
- To detect and prevent fraud or abuse
Data sharing
We do not sell your personal data. We share data only with:
- Supabase — database and authentication provider
- Stripe — payment processing (we never see your full card number)

Your catches & privacy
Catches are public by default but you can set them to Friends only or Private when logging. Private catches are only visible to you. Friends-only catches are visible to mutual followers.

- Delete your account and all associated data
- Opt out of non-essential communications
