Pilot Fish creates more socially connected and healthier communities. We give individuals within organizations a private and safe way to find individuals and groups who share their common healthy activity and personal interests. Our privacy policy can be found at https://docs.mypilotfish.com/privacy-policy.html. Our code of conduct can be found at https://docs.mypilotfish.com/code-of-conduct.html. Through Pilot Fish, each user builds their own profile. Users will be asked general questions on healthy and personal activities of interest, availability and something about themselves. At no time will users be asked for any specific health related data. Users will also be specifically asked whether they wish to be sent notifications, share location data for address auto-completion and to access their camera to add a photo or picture. These permissions are not required to use the app. Upon completion of their profile, a matching algorithm within the app will find other users and group activities for the user that match their profile. Profile information is never shared with any third-party organizations. The app’s sole purpose is to connect individuals with common activity and personal interests. The personal information collected in the app is only used for building user profiles and matching users. All information collected is voluntarily provided by the user. Prior to a user building their profile on the app, they must commit to our strict community use of the app. The app also has the ability to block another user and to report an image or misconduct. User safety and privacy are our top priorities. Our terms of use can be found at https://docs.mypilotfish.com//terms-of-use.html.
