The Services must not be used as the sole or primary basis for deciding:
- Where or how to navigate;

Information displayed through SpotOn Fishing may omit hazards, restrictions, notices, changes, warnings, or details contained in official sources.
Displaying government, public, licensed, or third-party information does not make SpotOn Fishing an official chart, certified navigation product, or official regulatory publication.

- A personal locator beacon;

- A collision-alert system;
- A medical-alert service; or
- A search-and-rescue provider.
SpotOn Fishing does not assume or undertake a duty to:
- Monitor your location;
- Monitor your track, trip, or voyage;
- Determine whether you are safe;

You are solely responsible for independently evaluating current conditions.
10. Tracks and Location History Are Not Safe Routes
A track, trip, voyage, route, location history, or previously traveled path is only a software-generated historical reference.
A prior track does not establish that:
- The route was safe when originally traveled;
- The original location information was accurate;
- The route remains safe;
- The route is navigable by your vessel;
- The route remains legally available;
- Water depth is sufficient;
- Hazards have not moved or appeared;
- Conditions remain unchanged; or
- Repeating the route will produce the same result.
Never follow a previous track blindly.
You remain responsible for continuous observation, maintaining a proper lookout, using appropriate navigation and safety equipment, and safely operating your vessel or vehicle.
11. Manual Tracks and Background Tracking
SpotOn Fishing may provide:
- A manually initiated Track, Trip, Voyage, or similar recording feature; and
- A separate Background Tracking feature using background or “Always” location access.
Stopping, saving, pausing, or ending a manual track does not necessarily disable Background Tracking.
If Background Tracking remains enabled, SpotOn Fishing may continue accessing or collecting location when:
- No manual track is active;
- SpotOn Fishing is minimized;
- The screen is locked;
- SpotOn Fishing is closed or not actively in use, subject to operating-system limitations; or
- You later reopen SpotOn Fishing.
Background Tracking may allow SpotOn Fishing to preserve where you have traveled and resume or restore your location experience when you return to the App.
You are responsible for reviewing the Background Tracking status and applicable device permissions.
Do not assume that selecting “Stop Track,” “End Track,” or a similar control revokes all location access.
To stop Background Tracking, turn it off through SpotOn Fishing or revoke the applicable background or “Always” location permission through your device settings.
12. Location and Tracking Technology Limitations
Location and tracking operation may be interrupted, delayed, inaccurate, incomplete, or lost due to:
- GPS or satellite availability;
- Device hardware or sensors;
- Device placement;
- Battery level;
- Power-saving settings;
- Operating-system restrictions;
- Background-execution limitations;
- App permissions;
- Cellular or internet coverage;
- Server outages;
- Network interruptions;
- Software defects;
- Updates;
- Account synchronization;
- Third-party services;
- Weather;
- Atmospheric conditions;
- Terrain;
- Buildings;
- Vessel structures; or
- Other circumstances outside SpotOn Fishing’s control.
SpotOn Fishing does not warrant that:
- A track will start;
- A track will continue;
- A track will stop at a particular moment;
- Location history will be complete;
- The displayed position is exact;
- Information will synchronize;
- A track will be preserved;
- The App will restore the correct position;
- Background Tracking will operate continuously; or
- Any missing or interrupted location history can be recovered.
13. Weather, Tides, Currents, and Environmental Information
Weather, tide, current, sea-state, temperature, chlorophyll, satellite, model, and environmental information may be:
- Delayed;
- Forecast;
- Modeled;
- Estimated;
- Interpolated;
- Incomplete;
- Unavailable; or
- Incorrect.
Do not rely on SpotOn Fishing as your sole source for weather or marine conditions.
Obtain information from authoritative sources and continuously observe actual conditions.
14. Fishing Information and Regulations
Fishing seasons, size limits, bag limits, protected species, closures, licensing requirements, and boundaries may change.
You are solely responsible for:
- Obtaining required licenses and permits;
- Confirming current regulations;
- Identifying species correctly;
- Following size and bag limits;
- Avoiding closed or prohibited areas;
- Complying with reporting requirements; and
- Following all applicable laws.
SpotOn Fishing does not provide legal advice and does not guarantee that regulatory information is current, complete, or accurate.
15. SpotBot AI and Automated Recommendations
SpotBot AI and other automated tools may generate predictions, summaries, recommendations, locations, tactics, or explanations using models and available information.
Automated output may:
- Be inaccurate;
- Be incomplete;
- Be outdated;
- Misinterpret your request;
- Omit hazards;
- Suggest an unsuitable location;
- Contain fabricated information; or
- Fail to account for current conditions.
Automated output must not be used as the sole or primary basis for navigation, safety, emergency, legal, regulatory, medical, or life-safety decisions.
You are responsible for independently verifying all automated output.

- Vessel insurance;
- Vehicle insurance;

Before initiating arbitration or litigation, you and Argo Technologies agree to attempt informal resolution.
The complaining party must send written notice containing:

- The relevant account email;
- A description of the dispute;
- The factual basis for the claim;
- The requested relief; and

33. Binding Individual Arbitration
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT.
Except for eligible small-claims matters and requests for temporary or emergency injunctive relief involving intellectual property, security, unauthorized access, or misuse of the Services, disputes arising out of or relating to:
- The Services;
- These Terms;
- The Privacy Policy;
- Your relationship with Argo Technologies;
- Contract claims;
- Tort claims;
- Negligence claims; or
- The interpretation, scope, validity, or enforceability of this arbitration provision
will be resolved through binding individual arbitration administered by JAMS.
Consumer disputes will be administered under the JAMS rules applicable to consumer disputes and the JAMS Consumer Arbitration Minimum Standards in effect when arbitration begins.
The Federal Arbitration Act governs this arbitration agreement.
The arbitration may occur through documents, telephone, video conference, or in person as permitted by applicable JAMS rules.
The arbitrator may award relief available to the individual claimant under applicable law but may not consolidate claims or conduct a class, collective, or representative proceeding.
Unless applicable law or JAMS rules require otherwise, an in-person arbitration will take place in Maryland or at another mutually agreed location. A consumer may participate remotely where permitted by JAMS rules.
Arbitration costs will be allocated according to applicable law and JAMS Consumer Arbitration Minimum Standards. Nothing in these Terms requires a consumer to pay costs that Argo Technologies must bear under those standards.
The arbitrator’s award will be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court possessing jurisdiction.
34. Class-Action and Jury-Trial Waiver
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW:
- YOU AND ARGO TECHNOLOGIES WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL;
- CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT INDIVIDUALLY;
- NEITHER PARTY MAY PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION; AND
- AN ARBITRATOR MAY NOT PRESIDE OVER A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
If the class-action waiver is finally determined unenforceable for a particular claim, that claim must proceed in court and not through class arbitration.
35. Arbitration Opt-Out
You may opt out of the arbitration provisions by sending an email to info@SpotOn.Fishing within 30 days after first accepting these Terms.
The email must include:
- Your full name;
- Your SpotOn Fishing account email;
- A statement that you are opting out of arbitration; and
- The date of your request.
Opting out of arbitration does not opt you out of the remaining Terms.
36. Governing Law
Except where applicable consumer law requires otherwise, these Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Maryland, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
The Federal Arbitration Act governs the arbitration provisions.
37. Court Venue
For claims that are not subject to arbitration, and except where applicable consumer law requires otherwise, you and Argo Technologies consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the state or federal courts located in Maryland.
38. Non-Waivable Rights
Nothing in these Terms eliminates or restricts a right that cannot lawfully be waived.
If a provision is invalid or unenforceable in a particular jurisdiction, it will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted without invalidating the remaining provisions.
39. Apple App Store Terms
When SpotOn Fishing is obtained through Apple:
- These Terms are between you and Argo Technologies, not Apple;

- These Terms are between you and Argo Technologies, not Google;
- Google is not responsible for SpotOn Fishing;
- Google has no obligation to provide maintenance or support; and
- Google Play terms may also apply to your download, purchase, and use.
41. Assignment
You may not assign your rights under these Terms without our written consent.
Argo Technologies may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, sale, reorganization, or transfer of the Services or business.
42. Severability
If a provision is found invalid or unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary or severed, and the remaining provisions will remain effective.
43. No Waiver
Failure to enforce a provision does not waive the right to enforce it later.
44. Entire Agreement
These Terms, the Privacy Policy, and applicable feature-specific terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Argo Technologies concerning SpotOn Fishing and supersede previous agreements concerning the same subject.

- Reviewing conditions, reports, and recommendations; and
- Other non-safety-critical purposes.
The Services must not be used as the sole or primary basis for deciding:
- Where or how to navigate;
- Whether water is safe or passable;
- Whether a route is legally accessible;
- Whether a vessel can clear an obstruction;
- Whether water depth is sufficient;
- Whether weather, tide, current, or sea conditions are safe;
- Whether a location is free from hazards;
- Whether emergency assistance is available;
- Whether fishing is lawful in a particular place or at a particular time; or
- Whether an activity is safe for you, passengers, vessels, vehicles, or property.
6. Official Charts and Authoritative Information
Always use:
- Current official nautical charts;
- Current notices to mariners;
- Properly maintained marine navigation equipment;
- Visual observations;
- Depth sounders where appropriate;
- Radar, AIS, compass, and other appropriate instruments;
- Official weather and emergency information;
- Current fishing and boating regulations; and
- The judgment of a qualified vessel operator.
Information displayed through SpotOn Fishing may omit hazards, restrictions, notices, changes, warnings, or details contained in official sources.
Displaying government, public, licensed, or third-party information does not make SpotOn Fishing an official chart, certified navigation product, or official regulatory publication.
7. No Emergency, Rescue, or Monitoring Service
SpotOn Fishing is not:
- An emergency beacon;
- An emergency position-indicating radio beacon;
- A personal locator beacon;
- A satellite distress messenger;
- A vessel-monitoring center;
- A man-overboard system;
- A collision-alert system;
- A medical-alert service; or
- A search-and-rescue provider.
SpotOn Fishing does not assume or undertake a duty to:
- Monitor your location;
- Monitor your track, trip, or voyage;
- Determine whether you are safe;
- Detect an accident;
- Detect a collision, grounding, or capsize;
- Detect a person-overboard event;
- Detect a medical emergency;
- Detect equipment failure;
- Contact emergency services;
- Notify family members or other persons;
- Dispatch assistance;
- Initiate a rescue;
- Preserve evidence; or
- Maintain location information for emergency use.
Your location information may not be monitored or reviewed by any person in real time.
Never rely on SpotOn Fishing to summon assistance. Carry suitable emergency and communication equipment and use official emergency channels.
8. Maps, Depths, Boundaries, and Data Limitations

9. Conditions Change
Water, marine, weather, regulatory, and environmental conditions can change rapidly.
A location or route that was previously accessible may become dangerous or unlawful because of:
- Water-level changes;
- Tides;
- Currents;
- Sedimentation;
- Shoaling;
- Storm damage;
- Debris;
- Construction;
- Closures;
- Temporary restrictions;
- Changes to markers or aids;

- Vessel traffic;
- Wildlife;
- Equipment limitations; or
- Other conditions.
You are solely responsible for independently evaluating current conditions.
10. Tracks and Location History Are Not Safe Routes
A track, trip, voyage, route, location history, or previously traveled path is only a software-generated historical reference.
A prior track does not establish that:
- The route was safe when originally traveled;
- The original location information was accurate;
- The route remains safe;
- The route is navigable by your vessel;
- The route remains legally available;
- Water depth is sufficient;
- Hazards have not moved or appeared;
- Conditions remain unchanged; or
- Repeating the route will produce the same result.
Never follow a previous track blindly.
You remain responsible for continuous observation, maintaining a proper lookout, using appropriate navigation and safety equipment, and safely operating your vessel or vehicle.
11. Manual Tracks and Background Tracking
SpotOn Fishing may provide:
- A manually initiated Track, Trip, Voyage, or similar recording feature; and
- A separate Background Tracking feature using background or “Always” location access.
Stopping, saving, pausing, or ending a manual track does not necessarily disable Background Tracking.
If Background Tracking remains enabled, SpotOn Fishing may continue accessing or collecting location when:
- No manual track is active;
- SpotOn Fishing is minimized;
- The screen is locked;
- SpotOn Fishing is closed or not actively in use, subject to operating-system limitations; or
- You later reopen SpotOn Fishing.
Background Tracking may allow SpotOn Fishing to preserve where you have traveled and resume or restore your location experience when you return to the App.
You are responsible for reviewing the Background Tracking status and applicable device permissions.
Do not assume that selecting “Stop Track,” “End Track,” or a similar control revokes all location access.
To stop Background Tracking, turn it off through SpotOn Fishing or revoke the applicable background or “Always” location permission through your device settings.
12. Location and Tracking Technology Limitations
Location and tracking operation may be interrupted, delayed, inaccurate, incomplete, or lost due to:
- GPS or satellite availability;
- Device hardware or sensors;
- Device placement;
- Battery level;
- Power-saving settings;
- Operating-system restrictions;
- Background-execution limitations;
- App permissions;
- Cellular or internet coverage;
- Server outages;
- Network interruptions;
- Software defects;
- Updates;
- Account synchronization;
- Third-party services;
- Weather;
- Atmospheric conditions;
- Terrain;
- Buildings;
- Vessel structures; or
- Other circumstances outside SpotOn Fishing’s control.
SpotOn Fishing does not warrant that:
- A track will start;
- A track will continue;
- A track will stop at a particular moment;
- Location history will be complete;
- The displayed position is exact;
- Information will synchronize;
- A track will be preserved;
- The App will restore the correct position;
- Background Tracking will operate continuously; or
- Any missing or interrupted location history can be recovered.
13. Weather, Tides, Currents, and Environmental Information
Weather, tide, current, sea-state, temperature, chlorophyll, satellite, model, and environmental information may be:
- Delayed;
- Forecast;
- Modeled;
- Estimated;
- Interpolated;
- Incomplete;
- Unavailable; or
- Incorrect.
Do not rely on SpotOn Fishing as your sole source for weather or marine conditions.
Obtain information from authoritative sources and continuously observe actual conditions.
14. Fishing Information and Regulations
Fishing seasons, size limits, bag limits, protected species, closures, licensing requirements, and boundaries may change.
You are solely responsible for:
- Obtaining required licenses and permits;
- Confirming current regulations;
- Identifying species correctly;
- Following size and bag limits;
- Avoiding closed or prohibited areas;
- Complying with reporting requirements; and
- Following all applicable laws.
SpotOn Fishing does not provide legal advice and does not guarantee that regulatory information is current, complete, or accurate.
15. SpotBot AI and Automated Recommendations
SpotBot AI and other automated tools may generate predictions, summaries, recommendations, locations, tactics, or explanations using models and available information.
Automated output may:
- Be inaccurate;
- Be incomplete;
- Be outdated;
- Misinterpret your request;
- Omit hazards;
- Suggest an unsuitable location;
- Contain fabricated information; or
- Fail to account for current conditions.
Automated output must not be used as the sole or primary basis for navigation, safety, emergency, legal, regulatory, medical, or life-safety decisions.
You are responsible for independently verifying all automated output.
16. Third-Party Information, Services, and Products
The Services may incorporate or link to information, services, or products from:

- Mapping providers;
- Chart providers;
- Weather providers;
- Satellite providers;
- Marine-data providers;

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Released Parties are not responsible for independent third-party:
- Acts or omissions;
- Errors;

- Data inaccuracies;
- Availability;
- Security;

20. Disclaimer of Warranties
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICES AND ALL MAPS, DATA, TRACKS, LOCATION INFORMATION, FORECASTS, RECOMMENDATIONS, AUTOMATED OUTPUT, CONTENT, AND FEATURES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS,” “AS AVAILABLE,” AND “WITH ALL FAULTS.”

This obligation does not require you to indemnify a party to the extent prohibited by applicable law or to the extent a final, non-appealable determination finds that the claim was caused solely by that party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
This obligation survives termination of your account and your use of the Services.
23. Insurance
You are responsible for maintaining appropriate:
- Vessel insurance;
- Vehicle insurance;
- Liability insurance;
- Property insurance;
- Health insurance; and
- Other insurance suitable for your activities.
SpotOn Fishing does not provide insurance and does not assume responsibility for an uninsured or underinsured loss.
24. User Content
You retain ownership of eligible content you create.
By submitting, uploading, synchronizing, publishing, or sharing content through the Services, you grant Argo Technologies a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to host, store, reproduce, format, transmit, display, and technically modify that content as necessary to:

Annual and monthly subscription fees are non-refundable except where required by law or applicable app-store rules.
28. Account Deletion
You may request deletion of your SpotOn Fishing account through:
- The account or settings section of the App;
- https://spoton-fishing-71298.web.app/delete-account/; or

We will update the “Last Updated” date when changes are made.
Where appropriate or legally required, we may provide notice through the App, website, email, or another reasonable method.
Material changes may require renewed affirmative acceptance.
32. Informal Dispute Resolution
Before initiating arbitration or litigation, you and Argo Technologies agree to attempt informal resolution.
The complaining party must send written notice containing:
- The claimant’s name;
- The relevant account email;
- A description of the dispute;
- The factual basis for the claim;
- The requested relief; and
- Contact information.
Notices to Argo Technologies must be sent to info@SpotOn.Fishing with the subject line “Legal Dispute Notice.”
The parties will have 30 days after receipt to attempt resolution before arbitration may begin, unless temporary or emergency injunctive relief is reasonably necessary.
33. Binding Individual Arbitration
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT.
Except for eligible small-claims matters and requests for temporary or emergency injunctive relief involving intellectual property, security, unauthorized access, or misuse of the Services, disputes arising out of or relating to:
- The Services;
- These Terms;
- The Privacy Policy;
- Your relationship with Argo Technologies;
- Contract claims;
- Tort claims;
- Negligence claims; or
- The interpretation, scope, validity, or enforceability of this arbitration provision
will be resolved through binding individual arbitration administered by JAMS.
Consumer disputes will be administered under the JAMS rules applicable to consumer disputes and the JAMS Consumer Arbitration Minimum Standards in effect when arbitration begins.
The Federal Arbitration Act governs this arbitration agreement.
The arbitration may occur through documents, telephone, video conference, or in person as permitted by applicable JAMS rules.
The arbitrator may award relief available to the individual claimant under applicable law but may not consolidate claims or conduct a class, collective, or representative proceeding.
Unless applicable law or JAMS rules require otherwise, an in-person arbitration will take place in Maryland or at another mutually agreed location. A consumer may participate remotely where permitted by JAMS rules.
Arbitration costs will be allocated according to applicable law and JAMS Consumer Arbitration Minimum Standards. Nothing in these Terms requires a consumer to pay costs that Argo Technologies must bear under those standards.
The arbitrator’s award will be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court possessing jurisdiction.
34. Class-Action and Jury-Trial Waiver
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW:
- YOU AND ARGO TECHNOLOGIES WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL;
- CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT INDIVIDUALLY;
- NEITHER PARTY MAY PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION; AND
- AN ARBITRATOR MAY NOT PRESIDE OVER A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
If the class-action waiver is finally determined unenforceable for a particular claim, that claim must proceed in court and not through class arbitration.
35. Arbitration Opt-Out
You may opt out of the arbitration provisions by sending an email to info@SpotOn.Fishing within 30 days after first accepting these Terms.
The email must include:
- Your full name;
- Your SpotOn Fishing account email;
- A statement that you are opting out of arbitration; and
- The date of your request.
Opting out of arbitration does not opt you out of the remaining Terms.
36. Governing Law
Except where applicable consumer law requires otherwise, these Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Maryland, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
The Federal Arbitration Act governs the arbitration provisions.
37. Court Venue
For claims that are not subject to arbitration, and except where applicable consumer law requires otherwise, you and Argo Technologies consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the state or federal courts located in Maryland.
38. Non-Waivable Rights
Nothing in these Terms eliminates or restricts a right that cannot lawfully be waived.
If a provision is invalid or unenforceable in a particular jurisdiction, it will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted without invalidating the remaining provisions.
39. Apple App Store Terms
When SpotOn Fishing is obtained through Apple:
- These Terms are between you and Argo Technologies, not Apple;
- Argo Technologies, not Apple, is responsible for SpotOn Fishing and its content;
- Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support;
- Argo Technologies is responsible for addressing valid product, legal, and intellectual-property claims to the extent required by law;
- Your license is limited to Apple-branded products you own or control as permitted by Apple’s applicable rules;
- You represent that you are not located in a country subject to an applicable United States embargo and are not listed on an applicable prohibited-party list; and
- Apple and its subsidiaries are intended third-party beneficiaries of the applicable provisions of these Terms.
40. Google Play Terms
When SpotOn Fishing is obtained through Google Play:
- These Terms are between you and Argo Technologies, not Google;
- Google is not responsible for SpotOn Fishing;
- Google has no obligation to provide maintenance or support; and
- Google Play terms may also apply to your download, purchase, and use.
41. Assignment
You may not assign your rights under these Terms without our written consent.
Argo Technologies may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, sale, reorganization, or transfer of the Services or business.
42. Severability
If a provision is found invalid or unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary or severed, and the remaining provisions will remain effective.
43. No Waiver
Failure to enforce a provision does not waive the right to enforce it later.
44. Entire Agreement
These Terms, the Privacy Policy, and applicable feature-specific terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Argo Technologies concerning SpotOn Fishing and supersede previous agreements concerning the same subject.

Privacy Policy
SpotOn Fishing and SpotBot AI Privacy Policy
Effective Date: July 31, 2026
Last Updated: July 31, 2026
SpotOn Fishing and SpotBot AI are owned and operated by Argo Technologies, LLC, doing business as SpotOn Fishing (“SpotOn Fishing,” “Argo Technologies,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).
This Privacy Policy explains how we access, collect, use, process, store, disclose, retain, and protect information when you use:
- The SpotOn Fishing mobile application;
- SpotBot AI;
- SpotOn Fishing websites;
- Fishing maps and data;
- Tracks, trips, voyages, routes, waypoints, reports, and journals;
- Background Tracking;
- Subscription services; and
- Other products or services that link to this Privacy Policy.
Together, these are referred to as the “Services.”
This Privacy Policy forms part of the SpotOn Fishing Terms and Conditions. By creating an account or using the Services, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Account Information
When you create, access, or manage a SpotOn Fishing account, we may collect:
- Your name;
- Email address;
- Username;
- Account or user identifier;
- Authentication information;
- Account preferences;
- Communication preferences;
- Subscription status; and
- Other information you voluntarily add to your account.
Passwords may be processed through an authentication service provider. SpotOn Fishing does not intend to store user passwords in readable form.
1.2 Subscription and Transaction Information
Purchases may be processed by Apple, Google, another app store, or an authorized payment provider.
Depending on the transaction, we may receive:
- Subscription product or plan;
- Free-trial status;
- Subscription status;
- Purchase, renewal, and expiration dates;
- Transaction or receipt identifiers;
- Cancellation or refund status;
- General transaction region; and
- Limited billing, tax, accounting, or fraud-prevention information.
When payment information is entered directly into an app store or payment provider’s system, SpotOn Fishing generally does not receive or store the complete payment-card number.
1.3 Foreground Location Information
With your permission, SpotOn Fishing may access approximate or precise location information while you are actively using the App.
We may use foreground location information to:
- Display your position on a fishing map;
- Center maps around your location;
- Display nearby fishing, weather, marine, and environmental information;
- Create waypoints;
- Save fishing locations;
- Record a track, trip, or voyage;
- Calculate route, distance, duration, speed, course, heading, or direction;
- Display content relevant to your current area; and
- Provide other location-based features requested by you.
1.4 Manually Recorded Tracks, Trips, and Voyages
When you manually start a Track, Trip, Voyage, or similar recording feature, SpotOn Fishing may collect and store:
- Precise or approximate geographic coordinates;
- Dates and timestamps;
- Route and movement history;
- Starting and ending locations;
- Distance and duration;
- Speed, heading, course, or direction;
- Track, trip, or voyage names;
- Notes, catches, photos, and other associated content; and
- Technical information needed to record, display, save, export, restore, or synchronize the activity.
A manually initiated track may continue recording when:
- SpotOn Fishing is minimized;
- You switch to another application;
- Your device screen is locked;
- Your display is turned off; or
- SpotOn Fishing is not actively visible.
This allows SpotOn Fishing to preserve a more complete track while you are fishing or traveling.
1.5 Background Tracking and “Always” Location Access
SpotOn Fishing may offer an optional feature referred to as Background Tracking.
If you enable Background Tracking and grant SpotOn Fishing permission to access your location at all times, SpotOn Fishing may access and collect approximate or precise location information:
- While SpotOn Fishing is open;
- While SpotOn Fishing is running in the background;
- When SpotOn Fishing is closed or not actively in use, subject to operating-system limitations;
- While your screen is locked;
- When you are not actively viewing the map;
- When no manually recorded track is active; and
- After you stop, save, pause, or end an individual manually recorded track.
Background Tracking allows SpotOn Fishing to preserve recent movement information, reopen or resume the location experience, and display where you have traveled when you return to the App.
Stopping, saving, pausing, or ending an individual manually recorded track does not automatically turn off Background Tracking.
Background Tracking may remain active until you:
- Turn off Background Tracking through SpotOn Fishing;
- Revoke SpotOn Fishing’s “Always,” background, or equivalent location permission through your device settings;
- Delete your account where account deletion disables the feature;
- Uninstall the App, subject to previously synchronized or retained information; or
- Otherwise disable the feature through a control provided by SpotOn Fishing or your operating system.
Granting SpotOn Fishing permission to use location “Always” does not necessarily mean that a named manual track is still being recorded. Manual track recording and Background Tracking are separate functions.
SpotOn Fishing will not represent that all location collection has stopped merely because you stopped an individual manual track while Background Tracking remains enabled.
Background Tracking is optional. Declining Background Tracking may limit automatic trip-history, route-restoration, and continuous location features, but other available SpotOn Fishing features may remain usable.
1.6 Background-Location Indicators
Depending on your device, operating system, settings, and type of location activity, you may see:
- An Android ongoing notification;
- An Android or iOS location icon;
- An iOS location-use indicator;
- A message or setting within SpotOn Fishing;
- A device-level reminder concerning background location; or
- A system settings notice.
Some indicators are controlled by Apple, Google, or the device manufacturer rather than SpotOn Fishing.
1.7 Location Accuracy and Availability
Location information may be inaccurate, incomplete, delayed, interrupted, or unavailable due to:
- GPS or satellite availability;
- Device hardware or sensors;
- Device placement;
- Battery level;
- Power-saving settings;
- Operating-system restrictions;
- Background-execution restrictions;
- App permissions;
- Cellular or internet coverage;
- Server or network interruptions;
- Atmospheric or weather conditions;
- Buildings, terrain, vessel structures, or other obstructions;
- Software defects;
- Third-party services; and
- Other circumstances outside our control.
