Privacy policy

Fishing Creators ("we", "the platform") respects the privacy of its users and is committed to protecting personal data in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) and applicable Romanian law. This policy describes what data we collect, how we use it and your rights as a data subject.

The personal data controller is Fishing Creators, available at fishingcreators.ro. Contact: contact@fishingcreators.ro

3.1 Data provided directly by the user: account data — name, email address, password (stored encrypted, via hashing); Creator profile data — channel name, county/location, description, fishing styles (niches), social channels, social statistics (declared, with attached proof, or pulled automatically from the channel), official sponsor, collaborators, filming equipment, rate card, media kit, avatar; Brand profile data — brand name, brand type, description, city, year founded, website, contact person, collaboration offer (types, indicative budget, frequency), logo; content generated on the platform — conversation messages, reviews given, content delivered in collaborations (links).

3.2 Data collected automatically: IP address; browser and device type; pages accessed and time spent on the platform; cookies (details in the Cookie Policy).

3.3 Data received from third parties: when signing in with Google — the name, email address and Google account identifier, as consented to in the Google dialog; when connecting a YouTube channel — public channel statistics (subscribers, views), via the YouTube API Services. The platform uses YouTube API Services; data processing by Google is described in the Google Privacy Policy (policies.google.com/privacy).

• Creating and managing the account → performance of the contract.
• Displaying the public profile → consent / performance of the contract.
• Running the messaging, collaborations and reviews → performance of the contract.
• Sending notifications and emails → performance of the contract.
• Improving the platform → legitimate interest.
• Meeting legal obligations → legal obligation.

Account and profile data: for as long as the account exists + 30 days after deletion. Technical data (logs): 12 months at most. Emails sent: 24 months at most. Note: when an account is deleted, the messages you sent in conversations may remain visible to the other party, in anonymized form ("Deleted user"), to preserve the integrity of the conversations.

Fishing Creators does not sell users' personal data. We may share data with: technical service providers (hosting, email) – strictly for operating the platform; public authorities – only when legally required. Profile data displayed publicly (name, social platforms, statistics, county) is visible to platform users, in line with the platform's purpose. Direct contact details (email, phone) are shown only to users you have explicitly granted access.

Data is stored on servers located in the European Union. We do not transfer data outside the EU without adequate safeguards. Third-party services (Google) may process data according to their own policies and transfer mechanisms recognized by the EU.

Under the GDPR, you have the right to: access – request a copy of the personal data we hold about you; rectification – correct inaccurate or incomplete data; erasure – request deletion of your data (the "right to be forgotten" — you can delete your account directly from your profile settings); restriction – limit the processing of your data in certain situations; portability – receive your data in a structured format; objection – object to processing based on legitimate interests; withdrawal of consent – at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing. To exercise your rights, contact us at: contact@fishingcreators.ro. You have the right to lodge a complaint with the Romanian National Supervisory Authority for Personal Data Processing (ANSPDCP) – www.dataprotection.ro.

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect data: encrypted SSL/TLS connections; passwords stored encrypted (hashing); restricted access to data; regular security monitoring.

We use cookies to operate the platform. For full details, see the Cookie Policy available on the platform.

We may update this policy from time to time. We will notify you by email or by posting a notice on the platform at least 14 days before the changes take effect.
