Privacy

One family sign-in, set up by a parent. Kids use it on their own phones. Nothing your family enters can be seen outside your family. No ads, no tracking, no location, no selling of data. Your logbook is stored in Australia. You can delete any person, any catch, or the whole family at any time.

Fishlee is made by H&Co Smart Admin (ABN 92 966 052 420), a sole-trader business run by Heidi Frier in Queensland, Australia. Write to us at admin@hcosmartadmin.com.

We are a small business. Even where the Privacy Act 1988 does not strictly require it of us, we follow the Australian Privacy Principles and design Fishlee around the best interests of the children whose catches it records.

A parent or carer (18 or over) sets up and holds the family account with their email address. The whole family, kids included, uses it. The account holder is responsible for everyone they add and everything entered under the account.

• Children do not have their own accounts or email addresses. They use the family sign-in a parent set up, on their own phone if the parent chooses. We never collect anything from a child directly.
• A parent may add Fishlee to a child's phone or tablet, signed in to the parent's account, so the child can log their own catches. The child can add and edit catches and packing lists. The child cannot create an account, change the account email, see any other family, or contact anyone through Fishlee. Password reset codes only ever go to the parent's email, so the parent stays in control. Tap "Done for today" in the app to sign a device out.
• The only information about a child is what the parent chooses to enter: a first name or nickname, a fish avatar, and their catches. We ask you not to enter surnames, dates of birth, schools or addresses, and Fishlee has no fields for them.
• We never show children advertising, never profile them, never contact them, and never use their information for anything except showing the family its own logbook.
• A parent can delete a child's record at any time. That removes all of that child's catches and photos.

• Account holder's email address, used to sign you in, to tell you if Fishlee changes or closes, and to answer you if you write to us. Never for marketing, never shared.
• People in your family: first names or nicknames and a chosen fish avatar.
• Catches: species, length, whether it was kept or let go, the date, and optional notes you type: a spot name in your own words, weather, tide and bait. Fishlee never records GPS or device location.
• Photos, if you add them. Before a photo leaves your device, Fishlee re-saves it, which removes the hidden location and camera details phones add to pictures. Photos are stored in a private store and shown only to signed-in members of your family.
• Pictures and the Yearbook you make. Save as picture and the Fishlee Yearbook are made on your own phone from your family's catches. Nothing is sent to us to make them. They leave your phone only when you save or share them yourself, and only with what you chose to include.
• Packing lists you create.
• Settings on your device only: your chosen tide station, sound on or off, and whether you have seen the first-run screens. These stay on the device and are not sent to us.

The public pages (the front page, Have a look first, Stay safe, About and these policies) collect nothing from you. There is no analytics, no advertising and no tracking script on any page. "Have a look first" is a sample that runs on your device and saves nothing. If you tap "Got an idea for Fishlee?" or "Share Fishlee", your phone opens your own email or share app; nothing is sent to us until you choose to send it. Our hosting provider may keep standard, short-lived security logs such as IP addresses, as every website host does.

No advertising. No analytics or tracking scripts. No location tracking. No selling, renting or sharing of your information. No contact between families. No public profiles. No messaging.

Fishlee links to the Queensland Government's official rules so you can check the size limit and decide what to do. You can optionally record the limit under "Add more about it"; Fishlee never fills it in or decides for you. We do not use computer programs to make decisions about any person that have a legal or similarly significant effect.

Your family's logbook and photos are stored with Supabase in its Sydney, Australia data centre. Sign-in emails are sent through SMTP2GO from its Sydney data centre. The app itself is served by our hosting provider, Lovable, through Cloudflare's global network, which means the pages you load may pass through servers outside Australia and those providers may keep standard security logs (such as IP addresses) for a short time. Your logbook data does not leave Australia.

Every record is protected so that a signed-in family can only read or write their own family's rows. Photos are kept in a private store. Sign-in uses the account holder's email and a password. Email codes for joining and password resets only ever go to the account holder's email, so a parent stays in control. If a data breach is ever likely to cause serious harm, we will tell affected families and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner as the law requires.

• As long as your family uses Fishlee.
• If an account is not opened for two years, we will email the account holder and, if we hear nothing within 60 days, delete the family and everything in it.
• Deleted people, catches and photos are removed from our systems within 7 days, including backups as they roll over.

From parent settings you can download your whole logbook or make a Yearbook (a PDF made on your phone), delete any person, or delete the whole family. You can also email us to see, correct or delete anything we hold, and we will do it within 30 days at no charge.

We will give at least 60 days' notice by email and in the app. The download in parent settings stays available until the day we close. After closing, all data is deleted.

Email admin@hcosmartadmin.com and we will look into it within 30 days. If you are not satisfied, you can complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner at oaic.gov.au or 1300 363 992.

Any change to what Fishlee collects will be shown in the app before it takes effect, and the date at the top of this page will change.
