Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 30, 2026

The Short Version

We’re not in the data business. We collect the minimum information needed to run the site and we don’t sell it to anyone.

What We Collect

• Email address — for account verification, password resets, and optional notification emails.
• IP addresses — logged temporarily for security, spam prevention, and troubleshooting. Rotated regularly.
• Usage data — basic analytics (page views, session data) to understand how the site is used.
• Content you post — your topics, replies, and profile information.

What We Don’t Do

• We don’t sell your data to anyone.
• We don’t track you across other websites.
• We don’t share your email with third parties.
• We don’t use invasive tracking or fingerprinting.

Cookies

We use cookies for:

• Keeping you logged in
• Remembering your preferences
• Basic site functionality

Advertising

We may display advertising from fly fishing businesses. Advertisers don’t have access to your personal data. Ads are shown to visitors only — logged-in members don’t see ads.

Your Rights

• You can view and edit your profile data at any time.
• You can download your data via your account preferences.
• You can delete your account by contacting rtidd@flyanglersonline.com. Deletion anonymizes your posts but preserves the content for the community.

Data Security

We use HTTPS, secure password hashing, and standard security practices. No system is perfect, but we take reasonable steps to protect your data.
