Privacy Policy

Last updated: 15 July 2026.

This policy explains how WearYourCatch handles personal data when you visit the site, request early access, join the mailing list or contact us.

Who controls your data

WearYourCatch is responsible for the processing described here. Contact us at hello@wearyourcatch.com for privacy questions or requests.

Data we collect

For early access we collect your email address, first and last name when provided, favourite fish, consent choices, signup source and timestamps. We also retain the technical information needed to prevent abuse, secure forms and verify email ownership.

If you allow analytics cookies, we record first-party measurements such as page path, anonymous session, referral domain, campaign tags, device category, browser, operating system, country code when supplied by the hosting provider, and selected site interactions. We do not store full IP addresses or build advertising profiles.

Why we use it

We use the following legal bases under the General Data Protection Regulation:

• Your request or a future contract: to register and manage the early access you asked for, process an order and provide customer service.
• Consent: for optional mailing-list messages, analytics and any future non-essential marketing technology. You can withdraw consent at any time.
• Legitimate interests: to secure the site, prevent fraud and abuse, diagnose faults and protect our legal position, after balancing those interests against your rights.
• Legal obligations: where records must be retained or disclosed under tax, accounting, consumer-protection or product-safety law.

Sharing and processors

Data is shared only with providers needed to host the site, deliver email, process payments and orders, produce and fulfil products, provide professional advice and operate services you request. A print-on-demand production partner may receive the customer, order and delivery details needed to produce and dispatch a purchase. Providers must process data under appropriate contractual and security safeguards. We do not sell personal data.

International transfers

Where a provider processes data outside the European Economic Area, we use a lawful transfer mechanism where required, such as an adequacy decision or approved standard contractual clauses, together with appropriate safeguards.

Retention

Waitlist and mailing-list data is kept while the requested early-access service or subscription remains active, then deleted or limited to a suppression record where needed to respect an opt-out. Order and accounting records will be kept for the statutory period that applies. Verification, security and analytics data is kept only for the shortest period reasonably needed for validation, abuse prevention and reporting, then deleted or aggregated. Retention is reviewed when the purpose, contract or legal period ends.

Your rights

You may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability or withdrawal of consent. You may also object where applicable. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that was lawful before withdrawal. You can unsubscribe through an email link or contact us directly.

You may lodge a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority or the supervisory authority in your country of residence.

Automated decisions

We do not use the data described here to make decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal or similarly significant effects.

Cookies

Necessary cookies support security, forms, consent and theme preferences. Analytics remains off until you allow it. Full details and retention periods are listed in our Cookie Policy.

Changes

We may update this policy when the service or legal requirements change. The current version will always be published on this page.
