Privacy

This page describes the StrikeTracks fishing-information product as it works today. It is not a claim of professional legal review. StrikeTracks uses Vercel Web Analytics (Web Analytics Plus) and Vercel Speed Insights to understand product use and performance, and to establish a baseline before any advertising. Advertising is not enabled.

Who we are

StrikeTracks is a public fishing-conditions and fishery-intelligence product for river, lake, coastal, and offshore destinations. Offshore coverage does not add location tracking or personal-data collection beyond the practices described on this page. Contact StrikeTracks through the Contact form.

Accounts and contact

StrikeTracks does not currently offer user accounts. Contact submissions use the website form. We receive the name, email address, topic, and message you send so we can respond. Google reCAPTCHA helps reduce spam and abuse on that form. Routine request metadata used to operate and secure the form, such as IP address and user agent, may be processed for that anti-abuse purpose. Messages are delivered to StrikeTracks by email and are not stored in a StrikeTracks application database.

Location features

Near Me uses the browser geolocation permission when you choose that feature. Exact coordinates are kept in the tab session for proximity filtering. They are not written into shareable page URLs.

ZIP search sends the ZIP code you enter to StrikeTracks so it can resolve a local centroid from an on-product dataset. StrikeTracks does not use that feature to collect a live GPS coordinate.

Hosting, logs, cookies, analytics, and advertising

The product is hosted on infrastructure that may keep routine technical logs such as IP address, user agent, and requested URL, as needed to operate and secure the service.

StrikeTracks uses Vercel Web Analytics, including Web Analytics Plus, and Vercel Speed Insights. Automatic pageviews are collected for ordinary page loads and in-app route changes. StrikeTracks also sends a small set of bounded product interaction events: opening a destination from a discovery surface, using homepage discovery tools, reaching selected detail-page fishing sections, and opening full-screen from an embed. Speed Insights measures field Web Vitals such as Largest Contentful Paint, Cumulative Layout Shift, Interaction to Next Paint, First Contentful Paint, and Time to First Byte.

StrikeTracks does not set a persistent analytics cookie and does not create a persistent first-party analytics localStorage identifier. Vercel may still process request-derived and aggregated measurement information, which can include device or browser characteristics, coarse geography, and visitor measurement derived from the request. This page does not claim that no visitor processing or geographic processing occurs.

StrikeTracks analytics do not send exact Near Me GPS coordinates, ZIP digits, or typed search text. Product query state such as ZIP, Near Me, selected destination, embed, and fullscreen flags is stripped from analytics URLs before those events are transmitted.

Currently

StrikeTracks advertising is disabled. Advertising remains inactive. A consent management platform is not enabled for advertising.

StrikeTracks does not use Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, or gtag. Product analytics remains the Vercel Web Analytics Plus and Speed Insights system described above. Google Privacy & messaging does not control Vercel Analytics.

When advertising is enabled

StrikeTracks may display third-party advertising on eligible standalone StrikeTracks pages. Google AdSense is the planned advertising provider. Google Privacy & messaging, Google's certified consent management platform, is the planned consent system.

Advertising may use cookies, local storage, or similar technologies where applicable. Personalized advertising depends on applicable privacy choices. Regional privacy messages may be shown, including European regulations messages and US-state privacy messages where Google's tools apply.

When advertising is enabled and the Google privacy-choice runtime is available, a Privacy and cookie settings control appears so you can revisit applicable privacy and cookie choices. That control is not shown in embedded or fullscreen-from-embed views, which remain ad-free.

Google advertising is separate from StrikeTracks product analytics. Google's advertising systems may use signals permitted for advertising. This page does not claim that the advertising stack uses none of its own request-derived signals, and it does not claim that advertising cookies will never exist once advertising is enabled.

Advertising is currently disabled until later launch authorization. This page does not claim that advertisements are currently serving.

Embedded partner views

StrikeTracks may be shown inside a partner website, including retailer storefronts. Those partner sites have their own practices. This page describes the StrikeTracks application.
