🧓🏼 Privacy Policy Last Updated: May 15, 2025

 

Here at Grumpy Grandpa Fishing Reports and The Grangler Nation, your privacy is more important than a secret fishing spot — and that’s saying something.

 

This policy explains what we collect, why we collect it, and what we do with it (spoiler: not much). If you don’t agree with it, put down the mouse and go cast a line instead.

1. What We Collect (and Only If You Give It to Us)
   We only collect what you give us voluntarily — like when you:

• Sign up for The Grangler Nation

• Submit a catch to the Brag Board

• Enter a giveaway

• Email us to rant, praise, or argue about lures

We might ask for:

• Your name (first name’s fine)

• Email address

• Profile photo (if you’re feeling photogenic)

• Fishing stories, photos, and the bait you used to catch 'em

 

We also automatically collect your IP address when you interact with the site. This helps us detect potential misuse, troubleshoot issues, and protect the integrity of contests and user engagement. We do not share, sell, or exploit this info.

 

That’s it. We don’t track your grandma’s maiden name or the last fish you lied about.

1. What We Do With It
   Ready? Absolutely nothing shady.

We use your info to:

• Let you log in

• Email you Grandpa’s newsletter, updates, or giveaway results

• Feature your submission (with your permission)

• Send the occasional rant, weather update, or fish-related nonsense

• Detect cheating or abusive behavior using tools like IP tracking and usage patterns

We do not, under any circumstance:

• Sell your info

• Share your name or email with advertisers, marketers, third-party trackers, or telemarketers

• Trade your data for bait (Grandpa buys his own)

1. No Kids Allowed
   This site is for grown-ups — or at least people pretending to be.
   You must be 18 years or older to use this site, join The Grangler Nation, or enter any giveaways.

 

We don’t knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you're underage, go fish with your folks and come back in a few years.

1. Cookies (The Boring Internet Kind)
   We might use cookies to:

• Remember your login (so you don’t have to every time)

• Track which lakes or posts you click on (to improve the site, not spy on your tackle box)

 

You can turn cookies off in your browser. No hard feelings. Just expect a slightly less smooth ride.

1. Data Storage
   We store your info securely in Wix’s backend — same as every other small business that doesn’t have a million-dollar security budget.

 

We do our best to keep it safe, and we don’t keep more than we need. Grandpa doesn’t like clutter.

1. Third Parties
   We don’t share your data.
   Not with ad networks, not with sponsors, not with that weird AI chatbot you keep hearing about.

 

The only “third party” Grandpa trusts is a tackle shop owner named Carl, and he doesn’t use email.

1. Your Rights
   Want us to delete your info? No problem.
   Email us at grumpygrandpafishingreports@gmail.com and we’ll handle it faster than a bass hits a topwater frog.

2. Changes to This Policy
   If we ever change how we handle your info, we’ll update this page. We might also shout about it in Grandpa’s newsletter, but no promises.

3. Contact Us
   📧 grumpygrandpafishingreports@gmail.com
   We read every email. Grandpa answers some of them, usually in all caps.
