Privacy Policy

1. Data controller

Emilia Gil Moris, email info@sportfishingatlas.com. Contact for privacy matters: info@sportfishingatlas.com.

2. What data we collect

• Browsing: the website does not require an account. We record anonymous visit statistics (pages visited, visits to listings and clicks on links to company websites) using a random identifier stored in your browser tab, which is deleted when you close the tab. We do not store IP addresses and we do not use cookies to identify you.
• Your cookie choice: we store the option you select in the cookie banner, with its date, in your browser.
• Company listing requests: company name, website, contact email, message, business type, water section, country/state and role when provided. These details are stored in our database so the administrator can process requests to add, claim, correct or remove a listing. No listing changes automatically.
• Abuse prevention: we briefly keep anonymized identifiers generated from IP addresses and email addresses using keyed hashing. We never store raw IP addresses in these records. These pseudonymous identifiers are used only to enforce submission limits, not for analytics or advertising.
• Administrator login: only the site administrator signs in; visitors cannot create accounts.

3. Purposes and legal basis

• Answering contact messages and company listing requests (pre-contractual measures and legitimate interest; for messages to businesses, your consent).
• Anonymous statistics, security and fraud prevention (legitimate interest, art. 6.1.f GDPR).
• The site counts visits and clicks on listings in aggregate form (daily totals per listing), without cookies or personal data, to show businesses how their listing performs.
• Anonymous usage analytics with Umami Analytics (your consent, art. 6.1.a GDPR), which you can withdraw at any time. Marketing cookies are not used.
• Complying with legal obligations (art. 6.1.c GDPR).

4. How long we keep your data

Company listing requests and any previously stored contact messages are kept for the time needed to process them and the applicable limitation periods. Contact forms on listing pages are no longer available. Hashed anti-abuse identifiers are deleted within 24 hours. Anonymous visit statistics contain no personal data. Cookie data is kept for the periods listed in the Cookie Policy.

5. Who receives your data

We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with service providers acting on our behalf, such as our hosting and database providers, under data processing agreements. Request details are accessible only to the administrator and are not automatically sent to the listed business. On each new request, an alert containing the request type, company name, requester email and a link to the protected requests page is sent to info@sportfishingatlas.com through Lovable's managed email service. Zoho Mail hosts the administrator's mailbox.

Open-Meteo (open-meteo.com): on destination pages only, the weather block is loaded from Open-Meteo. It sets no cookies, but your browser connects to Open-Meteo directly, so Open-Meteo can see your IP address and technical data such as your browser type.

Umami Analytics (Umami Software, umami.is): anonymous usage statistics (pages viewed, searches, clicks on links to company websites and listing requests). It only loads if you accept the Analytics category, sets no cookies and does not track you across other websites. When it loads, your browser connects to Umami directly, so Umami can see your IP address and technical data; Umami does not store IP addresses.

Planned service, not active yet: Google Search Console, to understand how our site appears in Google search results. It does not load anything on your device.

Some providers may be located outside the European Economic Area; in that case we rely on adequacy decisions or Standard Contractual Clauses. Data may also be disclosed to authorities when legally required.

6. Your rights

You can exercise your rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability and objection, and withdraw consent at any time, by writing to info@sportfishingatlas.com. We will reply within one month. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Spanish Data Protection Agency (www.aepd.es) or with your local supervisory authority.

7. Security

We apply reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data against loss, misuse and unauthorized access.

8. Changes

We may update this policy. Significant changes will be announced on the website.
