Who we are
Fishing Lakes UK is an independent online directory that helps visitors find fisheries, fishing lakes, day ticket waters and angling information across the UK.
Information you provide
We may collect information that you choose to provide through a venue submission, correction request or other contact method. This may include your name, email address, message, fishery details and links to supporting information.
This information may be used to review a submission, respond to an enquiry, correct a listing, prevent misuse and maintain the directory.
Server and technical information
Like most websites, the server may automatically record technical information when a page is requested. This can include an IP address, browser type, device information, referring page, requested URL, date and time, and response status.
Server information may be used for security, fault investigation, traffic management, abuse prevention and general website maintenance.
Analytics
We may use website analytics services to understand how visitors find and use the site. Analytics information can include pages viewed, approximate location, device category, referral source and interactions with site features.
This information helps identify technical issues, improve navigation and decide which fishing content is most useful.
Advertising
Fishing Lakes UK may display advertising supplied by Google AdSense or other advertising partners.
Google and other third-party vendors may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses or similar identifiers to serve, measure and improve advertisements. Depending on your settings and consent choices, advertisements may be personalised or non-personalised.
Third-party vendors may place or read cookies in your browser as part of providing advertising services. You can manage advertising personalisation through your Google account and control cookies through your browser or the consent options shown on the site.
Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small files or identifiers stored by a website or service in your browser. They may be used for essential site functions, remembering privacy choices, analytics, security, advertising and measuring advertisement performance.
Where required, non-essential cookies and similar technologies should only be used after an appropriate consent choice has been made. You can also remove or block cookies using your browser settings, although some website features may then work differently.
External links
The directory links to fishery websites, angling clubs, social media pages, map services and other external resources. Those websites have their own privacy practices and are responsible for their own content and handling of personal information.
Sharing information
Information may be processed by service providers that help operate, secure, analyse or fund the website, including hosting, analytics and advertising providers.
Information may also be disclosed where reasonably necessary to comply with a legal obligation, protect the website or investigate misuse.
Data retention
Information is retained only for as long as reasonably needed for the purpose for which it was collected, website security, record keeping or applicable legal requirements.
Your choices and rights
Depending on the circumstances, you may have rights concerning personal information held about you, including asking for access, correction or deletion. You may also be able to object to or restrict certain uses of your information.
To raise a privacy question or request, use the contact page and clearly state that your message concerns privacy.
Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated when site features, advertising services, analytics tools or legal requirements change. The latest version will remain available on this page.
