Reefseek: Fish. Dive. Explore. Last updated 25 October 2026.
Reefseek has no accounts and no ads. We do not know who you are. Sharing your results with other anglers is off until you switch it on, and you can switch it off at any time.
Your saved spots, trips, catch log, settings and fishing sessions stay in your browser on your device. We never receive them. Clearing your browser data removes them.
When you tap Caught one, Bites or Nothing yet while fishing with sharing on, the app sends only:
It does not send your exact spot, name, email, device ID or any account. We do not store your IP address; it is used briefly only to limit abuse (a daily count per connection) and is not kept with your results. Results are shown to other anglers only as an area-level summary, and only once at least two results exist for a cell. We keep results for up to about 13 months. Because results are anonymous, we cannot find or delete an individual entry once sent. Turn sharing off on the live fishing screen to stop sending.
If you allow it, your phone's location is used on your device to find nearby spots and conditions. Where we fetch weather, tide, sea temperature or community results for your area, the request includes an approximate position (a few kilometres) so we can return local data.
The app and its small database run on Cloudflare. Weather and sea data come from Open-Meteo and similar public sources, and maps from OpenStreetMap contributors. Those services receive the usual technical details of a web request (such as IP address) under their own policies.
Our daily reports are written by us from facts in publicly available fishing reports (which species, roughly where, and how they are biting), each with a link back to the original. See ReefseekBot.
Reefseek is a guide, not an authority. Zoning, bag limits and weather change, so always check official sources before you fish or dive.
This policy may change as the app grows; the date above shows the latest version. If you run a website we read and want it excluded, block ReefseekBot in your robots.txt.
