Community Features and User Conduct
FishWise includes a Community Feed where users can share catches, follow other anglers, and interact through likes and comments. By using Community features, you agree to:
- Post only content that you own or have permission to share.
- Not post content that is offensive, harassing, threatening, defamatory, or discriminatory.
- Not spam, post advertisements, or engage in deceptive practices.
- Not impersonate other users or misrepresent your identity.
- Not post content that is illegal or encourages illegal activity.
- Not attempt to collect, harvest, or scrape other users' data.
- Respect other users' privacy, especially regarding fishing spot locations.
- Not post content depicting animal cruelty or illegal fishing practices.
We reserve the right to remove any content and suspend or terminate accounts that violate these guidelines, at our sole discretion and without prior notice.
User-Generated Content
You retain ownership of all content you create and share through FishWise, including photos, captions, and comments. By sharing content to the Community Feed, you grant AI4U LLC a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to display, distribute, and reproduce your content within the FishWise app and for promotional purposes.
You may remove your shared content at any time by unsharing or deleting it. Removal may not be immediate from all caches or backups.
By using the app, you also grant AI4U LLC a license to use anonymized and aggregated data to improve our services.
Content Moderation and Reporting
Users can report content or accounts that violate these Terms. We review reports and may take action including content removal, warnings, or account suspension. We are not obligated to monitor all content but reserve the right to do so.
Account Deletion
You can delete your account at any time from the Privacy & Security screen within the app. Deleting your account permanently removes your Community profile, all shared catches, follows, likes, and comments. Local catch data on your device is also cleared. This action cannot be undone.
Accuracy of Information
Fish Identification: While we strive for accuracy, AI-powered fish identification is not 100% accurate. Always verify identification, especially for species that may be dangerous, toxic, or regulated. Do not consume any fish based solely on identification from this app.
Lure Identification: AI-powered lure identification provides suggestions based on visual analysis. Results may not always be accurate. Verify lure details before making purchasing decisions.
Spot Analysis: Location-based information including species lists, fishing tips, and local conditions are AI-generated and may not reflect current real-world conditions. Use this information as a starting point for your own research.
Regulations: Fishing regulations provided in the app are for informational purposes only and may be outdated or incomplete. Always verify current regulations with official state and local authorities before fishing. You are solely responsible for compliance with all applicable fishing laws.
Forecasts: Fishing forecasts are predictions based on weather, lunar, and environmental factors. They do not guarantee fishing success and should not be relied upon for safety decisions.
Offline Mode
FishWise provides offline access to previously viewed content:
- Spot analyses and weather data you have viewed while online are cached for offline access.
- Cached data may become outdated. The app will indicate when you are viewing cached content.
- Fish scanning requires an active internet connection and is not available offline.
- Your saved catches and trip data are stored locally on your device and are always accessible.
- Community features require an active internet connection.
User Responsibilities
