Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how CarpTide Club (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses and protects information related to visitors of this website. Our project focuses on carp and feeder fishing, long sessions and camp comfort, not on selling or trading personal data.

1. Who we are

CarpTide Club is an online project dedicated to long-session carp and feeder angling, session planning and camp craft. This website is informational and is not tied to any specific country, club membership or venue.

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or how your information is handled, you can contact us by email at: contact@carptide.club.

2. What this policy covers

This policy applies to information collected when you browse our pages, read articles, or get in touch with us using any contact details published on this site.

It does not cover websites, services or platforms that we may link to. Those are managed under their own privacy policies.

3. Information we may collect

3.1 Information you choose to provide

You may choose to share information with us, for example when you:

  • Send us an email using the address shown on the site;
  • Share feedback about session blueprints, camp layouts or content ideas;
  • Ask questions about using our material in your own fishing or club projects.

This information may include your name, email address and any details you include in the message.

3.2 Technical and usage data

When you visit CarpTide Club, standard technical information may be collected automatically, such as:

  • IP address and approximate region;
  • Browser type, language and device type;
  • Pages visited, time spent and basic interaction data.

This is used in aggregate to understand which parts of the site are most useful and to keep the project running smoothly.

4. Cookies and similar technologies

The site may use small text files called cookies or similar technologies to remember preferences (such as language options) and to support simple analytics.

You can usually control cookies through your browser settings, including blocking or deleting them. If you disable some cookies, parts of the site may not function as intended, but you should still be able to read most content.

5. How we use information

We use information we collect for the following purposes:

  • To operate, maintain and improve the CarpTide Club website;
  • To understand which articles and sections anglers find most helpful;
  • To respond to questions, feedback or requests that you send us;
  • To protect the site against spam, abuse and technical issues.

We do not use your information to build detailed marketing profiles and we do not sell your data to third parties.

6. Legal basis and retention

Where data protection laws apply, we generally rely on one of the following legal bases:

  • Legitimate interests, such as improving the site and keeping it secure;
  • Consent, for optional cookies or direct communication when you choose to contact us.

We keep personal information only for as long as is reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or allowed by law.

7. How we share information

We may share limited information with service providers that help us operate the site, for example:

  • Hosting providers that store the website and related data;
  • Basic analytics tools that show aggregate usage patterns.

These providers are only allowed to use the data to perform services on our behalf and are not permitted to use it for their own marketing.

We may also share information if required by law, or if necessary to protect our rights, safety or the rights and safety of others.

8. Your choices and rights

Depending on your location and local laws, you may have rights over your personal data, such as the right to access, correct or delete certain information.

If you want to exercise any of these rights or ask questions about your data, you can contact us at contact@carptide.club. We may need to verify your identity before acting on some requests.

You can also reduce the amount of data collected by:

  • Adjusting cookie and privacy settings in your browser;
  • Avoiding sending more personal details in messages than are necessary.

9. Children’s information

This site is aimed at adult anglers and is not designed for children under the age where they can legally give consent to online data processing in their region.

If you believe a child has provided personal information to us without appropriate permission, please contact us so we can review and, if appropriate, delete it.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our project, the way we handle data or applicable laws.

When we make changes, we will adjust the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. In case of major updates, we may also highlight them more clearly on the site.
