1. Introduction

APEX ADVANTAGE LLC ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") operates the Bite Logic application ("App") at bitelogicapp.com. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information about you when you use the App.

By using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide

We collect information you provide directly, including:

• Invite code used to access the App
• Water temperature data you enter manually
• Catch data you log (species, length, weight, lure used, notes)
• Photos you upload through the catch logging feature
• Community alerts you submit
• Feedback you send to us via email

2.2 Location Data

The App requests access to your device's GPS location to:

• Retrieve local weather and barometric pressure data
• Calculate accurate solunar timing for your location
• Associate catch logs with geographic coordinates
• Provide location-relevant lure recommendations

Location access is used only while the App is in use. We do not track your location in the background.

2.3 Photo Metadata

2.4 Device Fingerprint

We collect a device fingerprint — a hashed, non-reversible identifier derived from your device's characteristics — for the purpose of managing beta access credentials. This fingerprint cannot be used to identify you personally and is not shared with third parties.

2.5 Usage Data

We may collect information about how you interact with the App in aggregate form for the purpose of improving the product.

3. How We Use Your Information

• Provide and operate the App and its features
• Calculate bite condition scores based on current conditions at your location
• Generate lure recommendations matched to current conditions
• Validate and improve the scoring engine using aggregated, anonymized catch data
• Manage beta access and prevent unauthorized use
• Respond to feedback and support requests
• Comply with legal obligations

4. How We Share Your Information

4.1 We Do Not Sell Your Data

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes.

4.2 Service Providers

We may share information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating the App, including weather data providers (Open-Meteo) and cloud hosting services. These providers are contractually obligated to use your information only as directed by us.

4.3 Aggregated Data

We may share aggregated, anonymized catch data and usage statistics. This data cannot be used to identify individual users.

4.4 Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid legal process.

5. Data Retention

We retain your information for as long as necessary to provide the App. You may request deletion of your data at any time by contacting us. We will process deletion requests within 30 days.

6. Data Security

We implement reasonable security measures including:

• Encrypted data transmission (HTTPS)
• Automatic stripping of GPS metadata from photos before storage
• Device fingerprinting for access control rather than personally identifiable credentials
• Database access controls and regular backup procedures

7. Children's Privacy

The App is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

8. Your Rights and Choices

8.1 Location Access

You may disable location access for the App at any time through your device settings. Disabling location access will limit the App's ability to provide accurate scoring and solunar calculations.

8.2 Access and Correction

You may request access to the personal information we hold about you and request corrections to any inaccurate information.

8.3 Deletion

You may request deletion of your data at any time by emailing feedback@bitelogicapp.com with the subject line "Data Deletion Request." We will confirm receipt within 5 business days and process deletion within 30 days.

9. Third-Party Services

The App integrates with Open-Meteo for weather data. These services operate under their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party services.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated policy in the App or by email. The effective date at the top of this policy indicates when it was last updated.
