SPEARO

Spearo Privacy Policy

Last Updated: October 24, 2026

Effective Date: October 24, 2026

1. Who We Are and What This Covers

This Privacy Policy covers every Spearo product published by Visivo, LLC, a Florida company ("we," "us," or "our"):

  • Spearo Tracker (iPhone and Android; "Spearfishing Tracker" on the App Store): dive, catch and spot logging, training, statistics and AI coaching
  • Spearo Vision (iPhone and Android): dive-condition forecasts and verdicts, saved spots, condition alerts and visibility reports
  • Spearo Apnea (Apple Watch, Wear OS, iPhone and Android; "Spearo Breath-hold Trainer" on the App Store): breath-hold training with heart-rate and blood-oxygen readings and an AI training coach
  • Spearo Go (Apple Watch and Wear OS): a dive-day verdict; signing in is optional and backs up your saved spots
  • spearo.pro (also spearotracker.com): our website, your account dashboard, public profiles and web purchases of Spearo Pro

Spearo Tracker, Spearo Vision, Spearo Apnea and spearo.pro share one Spearo account and one cloud backend, so one policy covers them all. Not every product collects everything below. Where something belongs to a particular product, we say so. Spearo Academy, Spearo Shop, Spearo Community, the Spearo Club and Founders memberships, and Spearo Tourny are not open yet; we will update this policy before any of them collects data.

By using a Spearo product, you agree to this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information you give us

Account (Tracker, Vision, Apnea phone app, spearo.pro, and Go if you sign in): email address, name, a public username you choose, and an optional profile photo. If you sign in with Google or Apple, we receive your name and email from them (Apple may give us a private relay address instead).

Diver profile and preferences (Tracker, Vision, spearo.pro): experience level, unit and language preferences, and, if you choose to enter it, body weight (used only for performance calculations).

Dive logs (Tracker, spearo.pro): dates, times and durations; GPS position; maximum depth, bottom time, descent and ascent speeds and surface intervals; water temperature, visibility and conditions; dive type; your notes. On spearo.pro you can also import dive files (.FIT or .UDDF) from a dive computer.

Catches (Tracker, spearo.pro): species, count, weight and length, whether it was released, technique, time, and photos.

Spots (Tracker, Vision, spearo.pro, Go): names, GPS coordinates, depths, difficulty, access type, descriptions and ratings. Spearo Go keeps your spots on your watch and, if you sign in, backs up their names and coordinates to your Spearo account.

Visibility reports (Vision): the water visibility, conditions, depth, rating, notes and location you report.

Condition alerts (Vision): the spots and conditions you want to be alerted about.

Training (Apnea, Tracker, spearo.pro): breath-hold tables, session history, hold and rest times, personal bests and progress.

Messages to us: if you email us, or use the contact form on spearo.pro (which opens your own email app), we receive what you send.

2.2 Health and fitness data (Spearo Apnea)

  • Heart rate (Apple Watch and Wear OS) and blood oxygen (SpO2) (Apple Watch), measured only while you are running a training session, to show your dive reflex and recovery. On Apple Watch these come from Apple Health (HealthKit) with your permission; on Wear OS from the watch's heart-rate sensor with your permission.
  • Each session's minimum and maximum heart rate and minimum blood oxygen are saved with the session and synced to your Spearo account, where they also appear in Spearo Tracker and on spearo.pro.
  • On Apple Watch, with your permission, Spearo Apnea saves each training session to Apple Health as a workout.
  • We never use health data for advertising, never sell it, and never share it except with the service providers in Section 4 that store it for us. Data from Apple Health is not used for anything other than showing you your training.

2.3 Information collected automatically

Location: precise GPS location, when you allow it, to show conditions near you, to save spots, and to record where a dive or catch happened. Location is only read while you are using the app; it is never collected in the background. You can decline or revoke the permission at any time and enter positions by hand. Condition alerts (Vision) are checked on our servers against the saved spots you chose, not against your device's location.

Device and app information: device model, operating-system and app version, language and time zone, and a push-notification token (to deliver alerts and reminders you have turned on).

Crash reports (Tracker, Vision, Apnea phone app): if an app crashes or hits an error, Firebase Crashlytics records the error, the device model, operating-system and app version, and an installation identifier, so we can fix it.

Website: when you visit spearo.pro, our host (Vercel) receives your IP address, browser type and the pages requested, as part of serving the site and protecting it from abuse. The site stores a small number of items in your browser that it needs to work: your language choice, your sign-in session (Firebase), and preferences such as a dismissed banner. spearo.pro uses no advertising or analytics cookies and no tracking pixels.

Spearo Go: Spearo Go works without an account. If you sign in (Google on Wear OS, Apple on Apple Watch), it saves your spots' names and coordinates to your Spearo account and keeps them in step with your other Spearo apps; your verdicts stay on the watch. It contains no Firebase SDK, analytics or crash reporting. To get tide predictions, it sends your spot's coordinates to our server, which looks them up with NOAA or WorldTides. Our server keeps the coordinates, rounded to about 1 km, for up to 24 hours so it can answer repeat requests, and keeps a one-way hash of your IP address for a short time to limit abuse. Neither is linked to you.

Purchases: the plan or product you bought, purchase and transaction identifiers, purchase status and renewal dates, and a shared Pro record that unlocks Pro across the Spearo apps.

We do not use analytics or advertising SDKs, and there are no ads in any Spearo product.

3. How We Use Your Information

  • To provide the Services: store, display, sync and back up your dives, catches, spots, training and preferences across your devices and the apps that share your account
  • To calculate statistics, records, scores, forecasts and verdicts
  • To fetch weather, marine, tide and solunar data for the places you choose
  • To provide AI coaching in Spearo Tracker and Spearo Apnea, and the Dive Coach on spearo.pro
  • To show the content you choose to share (Section 5)
  • To create and secure your account and to verify and restore purchases
  • To send the alerts, training reminders and service messages you have turned on
  • To fix crashes and errors, prevent abuse and fraud, and keep the Services secure
  • To answer you when you contact us, and to meet our legal obligations

We do not use your data for advertising and we do not make decisions about you that have legal or similarly significant effects based solely on automated processing.

4. Who We Share It With

4.1 We do not sell or share your data for advertising

We never sell, rent or trade your personal information, and we never share it for cross-context behavioural advertising.

4.2 Service providers

These providers process data for us, under contract, only to provide their service:

From Spearo Tracker, it receives your dive performance metrics (depth, times, frequency), trends, and any notes you wrote on the dives being analysed. From Spearo Apnea, it receives only a summary of your training (for example your best hold time and the area to work on), never individual sessions.

4.4 Business transfers

If Visivo, LLC is sold or merges, your information may transfer to the new owner. We will tell you before your information becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

5. What Other People Can See

Everything is private by default. Other people see only what you choose to share:

  • Public profile and shared catches (spearo.pro): your username and, for each catch you choose to share, the species, count, weight, length, whether it was released, and the day. Never your real name, location, spot, notes or photos.
  • Community spots (Spearo Tracker): a spot you choose to share, including its location, under your username.
  • Leaderboard (Spearo Tracker): your username and statistics.
  • Visibility reports (Spearo Vision): the visibility, conditions and location you report.

You can stop sharing or delete shared items at any time.

6. Your Rights and Choices

6.1 Access and export

You can see your data in the apps and on spearo.pro. In Spearo Tracker, export it from Settings → Export My Data (CSV, PDF or JSON). You can also ask us for a copy at info@visivoagency.com.

6.2 Correct

You can edit your profile and change or remove your dives, catches, spots, training records, reports and preferences at any time.

6.3 Delete

Deletion is immediate and permanent; there is no recovery window. Export anything you want to keep first.

  • In an app: the app's Settings → Delete Account (in Spearo Tracker: Settings → Legal & Account → Delete Account), then confirm.
  • On spearo.pro: Dashboard → Settings → Delete Account. This also cancels a Spearo Pro subscription bought on spearo.pro.
  • If you no longer have the app: email info@visivoagency.com with the subject "Data Deletion Request" from your account's email address. We complete it within 30 days.
  • Spearo Go: delete the app to remove your spots from the watch. Spots you backed up by signing in are deleted with your Spearo account.

Full details, including what we must keep: Data Deletion Policy.

Deleting an app, or deleting your account, does not cancel an App Store or Google Play subscription. Cancel it in the store first.

6.4 Permissions

You control location, health, notification and camera access in your device settings, and can turn any of them off at any time. The apps keep working without them, with the related features turned off.

6.5 Marketing

We send marketing email only if you opt in, and you can turn it off with the unsubscribe link. Service messages (password resets, receipts, security notices) cannot be turned off.

7. How Long We Keep Data

We keep your data until you delete it or your account. When you delete your account, it is erased straight away and purged from backups within 30 days, except:

  • Purchase records: kept for 7 years for tax and accounting.
  • Pro record: kept for up to 12 months with your personal details removed, to handle refunds and prevent fraud.
  • Fraud-prevention identifiers: one-way hashed, kept for up to 5 years.

We may delete an account that has been inactive for 4 years or more, after warning you by email.

8. Security

  • All data is sent over encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS)
  • Cloud data is encrypted at rest
  • Data on your device is protected by your device's own encryption, and Spearo Tracker can be locked with Face ID or your fingerprint
  • Secret keys stay on our servers, never in the apps
  • Access to user data is limited to authorised people
  • If a breach affects your data, we will tell you without undue delay, and within 72 hours where the law requires

9. International Transfers

Your data is stored in the United States. If you use the Services from outside the US, your data is transferred there. We rely on the safeguards the law provides for these transfers, such as Standard Contractual Clauses and our providers' data-processing agreements.

If you are in the EEA, UK or Switzerland: we process your data to provide the Services you asked for (contract), for our legitimate interests in keeping them secure and working, to meet legal obligations, and, for health data and anything else that needs it, with your consent, which you can withdraw at any time. You have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to and port your data, and to complain to your data-protection authority. Email info@visivoagency.com with the subject "GDPR Data Request."

10. Children and Minors

The Services are for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If we learn that someone under 18 has an account, we will delete it and its data. Where the app stores provide an age signal, we use it to help confirm that users are adults.

11. US State Privacy Rights

If you live in California or another US state with a consumer privacy law, you have the right to know what we collect and how we use it, to get a copy, to correct it, to delete it, and not to be treated differently for using these rights. We do not sell or share personal information, and we do not use sensitive personal information for anything other than providing the Services, so there is nothing to opt out of. Email info@visivoagency.com with the subject "Privacy Rights Request"; we reply within 45 days. You may use an authorised agent, and we may need to verify your identity.

Categories we collected in the last 12 months:

  • Identifiers: email, name, username, account ID, device and installation identifiers, IP address
  • Commercial information: purchases and subscription status
  • Geolocation (sensitive): precise location of dives, catches, spots and visibility reports, and your location when you allow it
  • Health and fitness (sensitive): heart rate and blood oxygen during training (Spearo Apnea), dive and training records
  • Photos: catch and dive photos you add
  • Internet activity: crash reports and website request logs
  • Inferences: coaching recommendations

12. Changes to This Policy

If we make significant changes, we will tell you in the app or by email at least 30 days before they take effect and update the "Last Updated" date. Small clarifications may be made without notice.
