IMPORTANT APP UPDATE

As per the latest compliance policies set by the app stores, the anglers have the ability to delete their account & also the ability to delete all stored data (local & server) for the account.

Please be aware that if an angler does this and they have totally have the choice to do this, that any fish data submitted through any of our apps (current or previous history) will be totally deleted from our system & non-recoverable.

It means that if they complete this deletion in the middle of an event & or after an event it will affect all scoreboards & checks.

This compliance policy is from the apple & google play stores & all apps on your phone will have this ability to complete the functions for each, not just the Track My Fish Fishing Apps.

We are letting you all know just encase an angler does so that everyone is aware that we won’t be able to get any of the fish catches back.

If you have any questions at all please don’t hesitate to reach out to Tracey at tracey@infofishaustralia.com.au
