Privacy Policy

Tidora: Tides, Fishing & Flood, an iOS app by PricePilot LLC. Last updated November 05, 2026.

The short version

Tidora has no accounts and no Tidora server. The app does not collect, sell, or share your personal information, and it contains no advertising and no third-party tracking. Almost everything the app knows about you lives on your device, because the app was built that way on purpose.

What the app stores, and where

The spots you pick, your favorites, your flood levels and alert settings, your catch log and its photos, and your preferences are stored on your device. Your settings, favorites, flood levels, and alert preferences can also sync between your own devices through your iCloud account (Apple's key-value storage), under your Apple ID and your iCloud settings. Your catch log and its photos are never synced; they stay on the device where you made them. PricePilot LLC cannot see any of it.

Where the water data comes from

Tide predictions, gauge readings, flood stages and impact statements, weather, and water temperatures come from public sources: NOAA CO-OPS, the National Weather Service (including the National Water Prediction Service), the National Data Buoy Center, the U.S. Geological Survey, and Open-Meteo. Your device fetches them directly. As with any network request, those services receive the station or gauge being requested and your device's IP address; Tidora adds nothing about you to those requests, and they are governed by those providers' own policies.

Your home address

If you use the "find my water" setup and type a home address, the address is handed to Apple's geocoding service only, to place it on the map and find the nearest gauge and tide station. The address is not saved, not synced, not logged, and never sent to PricePilot LLC.

Notifications

Tidora's alerts are local notifications, scheduled on your device from downloaded predictions and gauge checks. There is no push server and no account, so nothing about your alerts leaves the device.

Optional catch-pattern sharing

Off by default, and always optional. If you turn it on in Settings, each catch you log adds a short anonymous summary to an outbox stored on your device: the species and a size range, the month only, tide stage, water temperature range, wind direction, pressure trend, moon phase, and your general area rounded to a grid of about 10 kilometers. Never your exact location, the exact date or time, your photos, your name, or any identifier. Nothing is uploaded: no sharing service currently receives these summaries. You can turn sharing off and clear the outbox at any time in Settings.

Flood watch links you create

If you share a flood watch with your household, the link carries the spot and the flood levels you chose to share, because that is what the feature is. Anyone you send it to can import those levels into their own copy of Tidora. Tidora is not part of that exchange; the link goes wherever you send it.

Purchases

Tidora Pro is sold by Apple through the App Store. Apple handles payment; Tidora never sees your payment details. The app reads only whether Pro is active, so it can unlock what you bought.

This website

These pages are static. The site sets no cookies and runs no analytics. A small script on station and gauge pages asks NOAA or the Weather Service for the current reading, in your browser, so a page can show live water between rebuilds.

Changes and contact

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted here with a new date, and any change to what the app does with your information will be described in the app before it takes effect. Questions: hello@pricepilot.cloud.
