Each service has its own privacy policy and data handling practices.

Cookies and Advertising Pixels

Fishbug's website (fishbug.app) uses cookies and similar technologies:

Essential cookies — a session cookie keeps you signed in, and a first-party attribution cookie remembers which link or ad first brought you to Fishbug (kept for up to 90 days). These stay with us and are not shared with anyone.

Advertising pixels — the website includes measurement pixels from TikTok and Meta that tell us whether our advertising works. When they load, they may report your visit, signup completion, IP address, browser information, and ad-click identifiers to those platforms, which handle that data under their own privacy policies. These pixels run only on the website — never inside the Fishbug mobile apps.

Your choices — our website honors the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal: when your browser sends it, the advertising pixels do not load at all. You can also block them with your browser's tracking protection or a content blocker; Fishbug works fully with them blocked.

Children's Privacy

Fishbug is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.

Changes to Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. We will notify users of any material changes via Fishbug or email.

International Users

Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own. By using Fishbug, you consent to such transfers.
