Here at CoarseFishingTips.com we take your privacy seriously and do everything we can to ensure your personal data is protected. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights under UK data protection law, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Browsing the Site
When you visit CoarseFishingTips.com, we use Google Analytics to collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behaviour patterns. This helps us understand how people use the site — for example, which pages are most popular. Google Analytics does not identify individual visitors; it aggregates data anonymously. You can learn more about how Google handles this information in Google's own privacy policy.

If you choose to sign up for our newsletter, your email address is stored and managed through MailChimp. MailChimp is a third-party email marketing platform that complies with its own privacy standards. You can read MailChimp's privacy notice on their website. You may unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the link provided in every email.
Cookies
This site uses cookies — small text files placed on your device — to improve your browsing experience. Some are essential for the site to function properly; others, such as those used by Google Analytics, help us analyse site traffic. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time.
Links to Other Websites
Our articles and product recommendation pages may contain links to external websites, including retailers and affiliate partners. Once you leave CoarseFishingTips.com, we have no control over how those sites handle your data. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any site you visit.
Access to Your Personal Information
You have the right to request a copy of any personal information we hold about you. If you would like to exercise this right, please email Ian at ian@coarsefishingtips.com. If you believe there is a problem with how your data has been handled, you also have the right to contact the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) to make a complaint.

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page, and where appropriate, we will notify you via the newsletter. This policy was last reviewed to ensure ongoing GDPR compliance.
