Privacy Policy

Last updated: 21 August 2026

Plain-language summary: RodRookies collects only the information needed to operate and improve the website. We do not sell personal information.

Who controls your data

RodRookies is an independent fishing information website operated from the Netherlands. Privacy requests can be submitted through the contact method published on this website.

Information we may collect

This may include information you submit, such as an email address for Field Notes; basic technical and security logs; cookie preferences; and aggregated usage information if analytics is enabled.

Why we use information

  • To provide requested newsletters or replies.
  • To operate, secure and troubleshoot the website.
  • To understand performance and improve content, where lawful consent has been obtained.
  • To meet legal and administrative obligations.

Legal bases

Depending on the activity, processing may rely on consent, performance of a requested service, legitimate interests in security and website operation, or compliance with law. Consent can be withdrawn at any time.

Cookies and third parties

Essential cookies may be used for security and core functionality. Optional analytics or advertising cookies should only be activated after a visitor makes a valid choice. External services such as hosting, analytics, email delivery or affiliate retailers may process data under their own policies. See our Cookie Policy.

Retention and security

Data is kept only as long as reasonably necessary for its stated purpose, then deleted or anonymised where possible. Reasonable technical and organisational safeguards are used, but no internet service can guarantee absolute security.

Your rights

Where the GDPR applies, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability or objection, and may withdraw consent. You may also complain to the relevant data-protection authority.

Children

RodRookies is not intended to knowingly collect personal data from children without the legally required parental consent.

Changes

This policy may be updated when services or legal requirements change. The latest date appears above.
