Your Privacy Matters
We built the Release Over 20 app with angler privacy as a core principle. We know how important your fishing spots are - and we will never compromise that.
✓ No GPS tracking
We never record your location. Your spots stay yours.
✓ No data selling
We do not sell or share your personal information with third parties.
✓ Catch data only
We collect species, size, and state - nothing that identifies where you fish.
✓ Secure storage
Your data is stored securely and only used to power our leaderboards and conservation records.
