Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 9, 2026

The Cast Report ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share information about you when you use our website and services.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly to us, including:

·Account information — your email address and password when you create an account

·Report requests — water body, target species, trip date, and optional pin location coordinates you submit when generating a report

·Trip information — hours fished, catch counts, species, size, and weight data, and satisfaction ratings you optionally submit after a trip

·Photos and comments — catch photos and accompanying comments you optionally submit, along with whether you consented to marketing use of that photo

·Payment information — billing details processed securely through Stripe (we do not store payment card numbers)

·Communications — messages you send us through the contact form

We also collect certain information automatically when you use our service, including your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and referring URLs.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

·Generate and deliver personalized fishing reports to your email

·Create and manage your account

·Process payments and manage your subscription

·Send 24-hour pre-trip update emails (Pro subscribers who opt in)

·Maintain your report history (Basic and Pro subscribers) and fishing stats dashboard (Pro subscribers)

·Display submitted photos on our website and social media, if you consented to marketing use

·Respond to your questions and support requests

·Improve our service and develop new features

·Comply with legal obligations

3. Photos and Marketing Use

If you submit a catch photo and check the box consenting to marketing use at the time of submission, we may display that photo — along with any accompanying comment, your first name, and the general water body and date of the catch — on our website, Instagram, and other marketing channels. We manually review submitted photos before using them publicly.

If you do not check the marketing-use consent box, your photo is stored solely as part of your private trip record and is not used publicly. You may withdraw consent for future use of an already-submitted photo at any time by contacting support@thecastreport.com.

4. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information with:

·Service providers — third-party vendors who help us operate our service, including Supabase (database and storage), Resend (email delivery), Stripe (payments), and Anthropic (AI report generation)

·The public — only photos and comments you have explicitly consented to for marketing use, as described in Section 3

·Legal requirements — when required by law or to protect our rights

·Business transfers — in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets

5. Data Retention

We retain your account information, report history, and submitted trip data for as long as your account is active. If you close your account, we will delete your personal information within 30 days, except where we are required to retain it for legal or compliance purposes, or where a photo has already been published publicly with your consent and cannot be fully retracted from third-party platforms.

6. Your Rights and Choices

You have the right to:

·Access the personal information we hold about you

·Correct inaccurate information in your account

·Request deletion of your account and associated data

·Withdraw consent for future marketing use of a submitted photo

·Opt out of marketing emails at any time via the unsubscribe link in any email we send

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at support@thecastreport.com.

7. Cookies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to maintain your session when you are logged in and to understand how our service is used. You can control cookies through your browser settings, though disabling cookies may affect your ability to use certain features.

8. Security

We use industry-standard security measures to protect your information, including encrypted data transmission (HTTPS) and secure password storage. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Children's Privacy

Our service is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13, and we do not knowingly permit submission of photos depicting identifiable children under 13 without parental consent. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us immediately.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by email or by posting a notice on our website. Your continued use of our service after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
