Should I Go? ("we", "us", or "the app") is a surf conditions app that helps surfers decide whether to hit the waves. We take your privacy seriously. This policy explains what data we collect, why, and how we handle it.
Location data — When you grant permission, we use your device's location to find the nearest surf spot. This data is processed in real time and is not stored on our servers.
Push notification token — If you enable surf alerts, your device's push notification token (FCM on Android, APNs on iOS) is stored on our server alongside your selected spot and score threshold. This is used solely to send you surf condition alerts.
Preferences — Your weight, skill level, and last selected spot are stored locally on your device. These are never sent to our servers except as optional query parameters to personalize board recommendations.
Custom spots — If you create a custom surf spot via the map, its name and coordinates are sent to our server to fetch conditions. We may store these to improve our spot database.
The app uses the following third-party services:
Push notification tokens and subscription preferences are stored on our server infrastructure. All communication between the app and our servers uses HTTPS encryption. We do not store location data on our servers.
You can unsubscribe from push notifications at any time within the app, which removes your token from our servers. Uninstalling the app removes all locally stored data. If you'd like to request deletion of any server-side data, contact us at the email below.
The app is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children.
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected on this page with an updated date.
