3. Information We Collect

3.1 Information Collected Directly by the App

Starting with version 1.0.0 (versionCode 38), the App offers optional account features. When you create an account (via Google, Apple, or email and password), we collect and store the following information through Firebase:

• Account data: email address, unique user ID (UID), and display name / nickname
• Fishing reports you create: text, geographic coordinates (latitude/longitude), attached photos, and the UID of the author
• Personal map points you create: coordinates, type, title, description, attached photos, and owner UID
• Photos uploaded to reports and points (stored in Firebase Storage)

Account creation is optional. If you use the App without signing in, no personal data is collected by the App directly. All user-generated content (reports, points, photos) is created voluntarily by you.

3.2 Information Collected by Third-Party Services

In addition to the data described in Section 3.1, we use the following third-party services, which may collect and process personal data:
