Tides Explorer does not collect, share, or store any personal data. All app functionality, including optional location access, operates entirely on your device. No user data is transmitted, tracked, or linked to your identity.
Thank you for choosing Tides Explorer! This Privacy Policy outlines how we handle your information when you use our mobile application.
Tides Explorer does not collect, store, or share any personal information from its users. We believe in protecting your privacy, and as a result, we have designed our app to operate without the need for any personal data or user accounts.
Tides Explorer may request access to your device’s location services to provide accurate tide information based on your current position. This information is processed locally on your device and is not transmitted, stored, or shared externally. You can disable location access at any time in your device settings.
Tides Explorer does not use any analytics tools, cookies, or tracking technologies. Your app usage and preferences remain entirely private to your device.
Tides Explorer retrieves publicly available tidal and current data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Tides and Currents API. These requests do not include any personal identifiers or user data — only location parameters necessary to obtain tide and current information. NOAA does not receive, collect, or process any information about you when using Tides Explorer.
Your interaction with Tides Explorer remains entirely local, private, and secure. We do not integrate with advertising networks or other third-party services that collect user data.
Tides Explorer is suitable for users of all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children under the age of 13. If you believe that we may have inadvertently received such information, please contact us immediately, and we will promptly delete it.
We may occasionally update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in the app or applicable laws. Any updates will be posted here with a revised “Last Updated” date. If significant changes are made, we may display a notice within the app to inform users.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding this Privacy Policy or Tides Explorer’s privacy practices, please contact us at tani.creek.software@icloud.com.
