Privacy Policy

Introduction

Welcome to Tide Cycle, an application developed by Alec Rust ("we", "our", or "us"). Your privacy is important to us, and we are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share your information when you use the Tide Cycle app ("App").

Information We Collect

Location Data

What We Collect: To provide accurate tide data for your current location, we collect and process your device’s location information. This includes rough coordinates (latitude and longitude) but no other identifying information.

How We Use It: Your location data is used solely to fetch tide information from third-party APIs like WorldTides. This data is cached locally on your device for performance improvements.

Analytics and Error Management

PostHog: We use PostHog to monitor app usage and understand user interactions with the App. This helps us improve our services. The data collected by PostHog includes anonymized usage statistics and interaction data.

Sentry: We use Sentry for error tracking and management. When an error occurs, Sentry collects information about the error and the environment in which it happened. This information helps us diagnose and fix issues.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide accurate and timely tide data based on your location.
• Improve and optimize the App through analytics.
• Monitor and fix errors to ensure a smooth user experience.

Sharing Your Information

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to outside parties. However, we may share your information in the following scenarios:

• Service Providers: We may share your location data with service providers like WorldTides to obtain tide information.
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities.

Data Security

We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information. Your data is transmitted over secure channels and stored on secure servers. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Your Consent

By using the Tide Cycle app, you consent to our Privacy Policy.

Changes to Our Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
