Privacy Policy

Salmon Finder has no accounts, no logins and no profiles. There is very little about you for us to have.

The privacy of your data is important to us. This document tells you what data we collect and why, how your data is handled, and your rights with respect to your data.

What we collect

We don’t want to collect any of your data, and unless you specifically request to share it with us, we aren’t collecting it.

As of this writing, the Salmon Finder app is not collecting anything from you.

Our mobile app, Salmon Finder, runs on your device connecting only with our servers as needed to provide location and count data, or to provide notifications, and does not integrate with any external services for advertising, crash analytics, or anything else. We don’t even track your email address.

Salmon Finder requests access to your location solely to display relevant information within the app; your location data is never collected, stored, or transmitted off your device.

Notifications

Turning on alerts sends us an anonymous push token from Apple or Google, along with the stations and species you have chosen to follow, so we know what to send you. The token is not tied to a name, an email, or a device identifier we can trace back to you. Turn notifications off and we delete it.

This website

The app and this website are not the same thing, and it would be misleading to describe them as if they were.

salmonfinder.com loads Google Analytics and a Meta (Facebook) advertising pixel, which record ordinary web analytics — page views, referring site, approximate region, browser — and are subject to Google’s and Meta’s own privacy terms. The site also loads fonts from Google Fonts, which sees your IP address in order to serve them.

The maps on this website are static images rendered ahead of time from OpenStreetMap data, so no map provider receives anything about you when you view them. Map data is © OpenStreetMap contributors. Inside the app, maps are provided by Apple on iOS and Google on Android and are subject to their own privacy terms.

Count data comes from the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. We mirror what they publish and send them nothing about you.

Legal stuff

When required under applicable law. Devious Panda, LLC is a U.S. company and all data infrastructure are located in the U.S.

Requests for user data. Our policy is to not respond to government requests for user data unless we are compelled by legal process or in limited circumstances in the event of an emergency request. However, if U.S. law enforcement authorities have the necessary warrant, criminal subpoena, or court order requiring us to disclose data, we must comply. Likewise, we will only respond to requests from government authorities outside the U.S. if compelled by the U.S. government through procedures outlined in a mutual legal assistance treaty or agreement. It is our’ policy to notify affected users before we disclose data unless we are legally prohibited from doing so, and except in some emergency cases. Note to law enforcement: we don’t have anything at all.

Preservation requests. Similarly, Devious Panda’s policy is to comply with requests to preserve data only if compelled by the U.S. Federal Stored Communications Act, 18 U.S.C. Section 2703(f), or by a properly served U.S. subpoena for civil matters. We do not disclose preserved data unless required by law or compelled by a court order that we choose not to appeal. Furthermore, unless we receive a proper warrant, court order, or subpoena before the required preservation period expires, we will destroy any preserved copies of customer data at the end of the preservation period. Note to anyone requesting: we don’t have anything at all.

If we are audited by a tax authority, we may be required to disclose billing-related information. If that happens, we will disclose only the minimum needed, such as billing addresses and tax exemption information. Note to tax authorities: we do all financial processing through the iOS or Android stores, so that’s all we will have.

If Devious Panda, Ltd is completely or partially acquired by, or merges with another company we will notify you before any of your personal information is transferred or becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

Your rights with respect to your information

At Devious Panda, we strive to apply the same data rights to all customers, regardless of their location. Some of these rights include:

• Right to Know what personal information is collected, used, shared or sold.
• Right of Access the personal information we gather about you.
• Right to Correction.
• Right to be forgotten.
• Right to Complain.
• Right to Restrict Processing.
• Right to Object.
• Right to Non-Discrimination.
• Many of these rights can be exercised by signing in and updating your account information. Please note that certain information may be exempt from such requests under applicable law. For example, we need to retain certain information in order to provide our services to you. Of course, since we don’t collect anything at all, all of these rights are moot, but we want to let you know that we respect them.

Depending on applicable law, you may have the right to appeal our decision to deny your request, if applicable. We will provide information about how to exercise that right in our response denying the request. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. If you are in the EU or UK, you can contact your data protection authority to file a complaint or learn more about local privacy laws.

Changes and questions

We may update this policy as needed to comply with relevant regulations and reflect any new practices.
