BiteCurve — Privacy Policy

Last updated: 13 November 2026 · Covers BiteCurve for iPhone

Short version. No account, no advertising, no tracking and no analytics. Your spots, trips and catches stay on your iPhone. To forecast a spot, BiteCurve sends only a coarse map cell of about 5 km around it to our server, with no identifier.

What leaves your iPhone

Weather and tide for a saved spot: the app asks our server (a Cloudflare Worker) for the hourly weather and the nearest tide station of the map cell the spot lies in. The cell is about 5 km across; the exact position of the spot is never sent. The request carries no account, device or advertising identifier. Our server fetches the weather from Apple Weather (WeatherKit) and the tide station data from NOAA, and keeps the answer for that cell for about an hour (weather) or up to 30 days (tide station) so the next request for the same cell is faster. The cached answers contain weather and tide data only.
Your IP address: like any server, ours sees the IP address of a request. It is used only to limit how many requests one address can make per minute and is not stored by us.
Apple Maps: the map and place names come from Apple Maps under Apple's privacy policy.

What stays on your iPhone

Saved spots and their exact positions, trips, catches, notes, the barometer readings taken during a trip and saved forecasts are stored only on your iPhone. They are deleted when you delete the app.

Location

BiteCurve does not ask for your location. You place spots on the map yourself.

Motion & Fitness

If you turn on live pressure, BiteCurve reads the phone's barometer while a trip is running. Readings are taken only while the app is open, stay on your iPhone and are deleted after three days.

Purchases

BiteCurve Pro is an Apple subscription handled entirely by Apple. We receive no name, email or payment details, only aggregate sales numbers from Apple.

Data we collect for other purposes

None. No analytics or crash-reporting SDK, no advertising or attribution SDK, no data sold or shared with third parties.

Children's privacy

BiteCurve is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect data from them.

Changes

If a future version changes how data is handled, this page and its date will be updated and the App Store privacy details will match.
