4. User-Generated Content
You retain ownership of content you upload to CatchVault, including catch photos, comments, and messages ("User Content"). By uploading User Content, you grant CatchVault a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, display, reproduce, and distribute your User Content for the purpose of operating, improving, and promoting the App. This license includes the right to include your User Content in anonymized or aggregated research, conservation, and fisheries datasets licensed to third-party organizations whose use is consistent with scientific, conservation, or sustainable fisheries management purposes — including scientific research institutions, government agencies, non-profit conservation organizations, sustainable-fisheries and habitat-offset programs, and private-industry research and development partners — in each case under a binding Data Use Agreement and subject to our Privacy Policy. We do not sell your User Content, in identifiable form, to advertisers, data brokers, or other third parties.
You are solely responsible for your User Content. We do not endorse or verify the accuracy of any User Content, including catch records, species identifications, or measurements.
We reserve the right to remove any User Content that violates this Agreement or is otherwise objectionable, at our sole discretion.
5. AI Features & Disclaimers
The App includes artificial intelligence features, including but not limited to:
- Fish species identification from photos
- Fish length and weight estimation
- An AI fishing assistant ("Finn") that provides fishing advice
These AI features are provided for informational and entertainment purposes only. AI-generated results, including species classifications, measurements, and fishing advice, are not guaranteed to be accurate. You should not rely solely on AI outputs for regulatory compliance, safety decisions, or any other critical purpose.
CatchVault is not responsible for any consequences arising from actions taken based on AI-generated information, including but not limited to misidentified species, incorrect measurements, or fishing advice that does not comply with local regulations.
6. Tournaments & Events
CatchVault provides a platform for users to create and participate in fishing tournaments. CatchVault is not a party to any tournament and does not guarantee the fairness, accuracy, or outcome of any event. Disputes between tournament participants are the responsibility of the participants and tournament organizers.
7. Intellectual Property
The App, including its design, code, AI models, branding, and all related intellectual property, is owned by CatchVault. This Agreement does not grant you any rights to our trademarks, logos, or other proprietary materials.
8. Privacy
