Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 5, 2026

This policy explains how the LBI Tides & Flies iPhone app and the website at this address (together, "LBI Tides & Flies") handle information. LBI Tides & Flies is made by JakLabs. We don't require an account, and we don't sell your personal information.

Information we don't collect

We don't ask for your name, email address, phone number or any other contact details to use the app or website.

Your location

If you tap Use My Location or Find Nearest Stand in the app, your device's location is used on your phone to pick the nearest Long Beach Island town or lifeguard stand.
Your exact location is not sent to us or stored on our servers.
Location access is optional. You can choose your town from a list instead, and you can turn location access off at any time in your device's Settings.

Information stored on your device

The town you choose is saved on your phone so the app remembers it next time.
If you turn on the daily reminder, the reminder is scheduled on your phone. We don't send push notifications from a server.

Advertising

The app shows ads from Google AdMob, and the website shows ads from Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies, device advertising identifiers and similar technologies to show ads, limit how often you see them, and measure their performance. Depending on your settings, these ads may be personalized based on your activity on this and other sites and apps.

Learn how Google uses information from sites and apps that use its services: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
Manage or turn off personalized ads from Google: adssettings.google.com
On iPhone, you can limit ad tracking in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.

Third-party services

To show conditions, the app and website request public data from these services. Your device connects to them directly, so they may receive standard technical information such as your IP address:

Open-Meteo for weather, wind and water temperature (requests use fixed points on the island, not your location)
The Events Calendar at welcometolbi.com for local events
Netlify, which hosts this website and the app's data file

Tide predictions come from NOAA and are included in our data file; your device does not contact NOAA.

Children

LBI Tides & Flies is a general-audience app and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we'll update this page and the date at the top.
