Privacy and Data Use
This Privacy Policy explains how LinkFish collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you use the LinkFish website, mobile application, marketplace, and related services.
Effective Date: May 20, 2026
By accessing or using LinkFish, you acknowledge that you have read this Privacy Policy and understand how your information is handled. If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, please do not use the Services.
We may collect information you provide directly to us, including your name, email address, account credentials, profile details, payment and payout details, customer support messages, marketplace listing content, and any other information you choose to submit through the Services. We may also collect device data, usage activity, location data, browser information, and transactional records needed to operate the platform.
We use personal information to provide and improve the Services, create and manage user accounts, facilitate marketplace transactions, personalize content, connect anglers, respond to inquiries, send operational notices, enforce our policies, prevent fraud, comply with legal obligations, and maintain the security and integrity of LinkFish.
When you participate in marketplace activity, we may process information necessary to list products, coordinate purchases, communicate about orders, and support payment or payout workflows. LinkFish does not store full payment card details unless expressly stated in the applicable payment workflow.
If you use AI-powered features, including bait guidance or related assistance tools, LinkFish may process prompts, questions, and related usage information to generate responses, improve feature quality, monitor abuse, and maintain service reliability. AI-generated content may be inaccurate, incomplete, or not suited to your particular fishing, safety, or legal circumstances, and should be reviewed with your own judgment.
We may share information with service providers, payment processors, analytics vendors, hosting providers, customer support tools, legal advisors, law enforcement, and other parties when necessary to operate the Services, complete transactions, comply with law, protect rights and safety, or support a business transfer such as a merger, acquisition, or asset sale. We may also share profile or listing information with other users as part of the platform experience.
We may use cookies, pixels, software development kits, and similar technologies to remember preferences, analyze traffic, measure engagement, improve performance, and support advertising or marketing activities where permitted by law. You may be able to control certain tracking technologies through your browser or device settings.
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the Services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict certain personal information, or to object to specific processing activities. You may also update some account information directly through your profile or contact us to request assistance. We may need to verify your identity before responding to certain requests.
LinkFish is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us so we can take appropriate steps. If you access the Services from outside the United States, you understand that your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States or other jurisdictions where our service providers operate.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the effective date above and may provide additional notice when required by law. Your continued use of the Services after an update becomes effective indicates your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.
