3. Collection of Personal Data

AnglerRank's Services are for logging, tracking, and sharing fishing-related information, buying and rating fishing-related products through the AnglerRank Shop, and/or such other Services as we may make available from time to time. To provide these Services we collect, use, and store information about you.

In this section, we set out the types of personal data that we collect when you interact with and use our Services. In section 4 below, we describe the purposes for which we use and for how long we store the below mentioned types of personal data. We collect personal data such as:

  1. Contact and Identification Information - Name, username, password, e-mail address, telephone number, address, date of birth, profile photo, country, any other account or profile/settings information, any other user generated content that may be personally identifiable, such as photos and videos. You might also provide information about people to whom AnglerRank Shop purchases have been shipped, including addresses and phone numbers, and email addresses of your friends and other people.
  2. Camera and Photos - Some of our Services require us to collect images and other information from your device’s camera and photos. For example, in order to upload photos from your camera roll, we need to access your camera and/or photos.
  3. Content Information - We collect content you create on our Services and information about the content you create or provide, such as if the recipient has viewed the content and the metadata that is provided with the content.

Usage Information - Information such as how you interact with our Services and communicate with other AnglerRank users or participate in discussion boards or other community features, including time, date and number of interactions, access times, pages viewed/content browsed, and pages you visited before or after navigating to our Sites. This includes any information you volunteer when you contact customer support or communicate with us by phone, email, or otherwise. You further provide information when you search for a product or view a product, compile wish lists or other gift registries on the AnglerRank Shop, provide and rate reviews, and employ product availability alerts, if and as applicable. We may aggregate purchase information with that of other customers to create features like ‘top sellers’. When you interact with our Services, you further give us information about which services and the different features of these services you have used and how you have used them.
  5. Device Information - Device identification, hardware model, operating system version, platform, device memory, unique device identifiers, IP address, browser and plug-in type and version, language, time zone, information from device sensors such as accelerometers, gyroscopes, compasses, microphones, and whether you have headphones connected. You further give us information about your wireless and mobile network connections, such as mobile phone number, service provider, and signal strength. 
  6. Device Phonebook - Because we enable you to communicate with friends, we may — with your permission — collect information from your device’s phonebook.

With your permission, we may also collect information about your precise location using methods that include GPS, wireless networks, cell towers, Wi-Fi access points, and other sensors, such as gyroscopes, accelerometers, and compasses. If you have given us consent to collect your location information, we will collect that information each time you open our app in order to improve your experience of our Services, for example to show you posts and catches that are relevant to you, based on where you are located on the map. You can read more about this in Section 4 below. Most mobile devices allow you to turn off location services; if you have questions about how to do this, we recommend you contact your mobile service carrier or your device manufacturer.

We may also use these technologies to collect information when you interact with services we offer through one of our partners, such as commerce features. Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can usually remove or reject browser cookies through the settings on your browser or device, however removing or rejecting cookies could affect the availability and functionality of our Services. Section 9 below contains additional information about cookies.
  11. Information from Third Parties - If you link your AnglerRank account to another service (like a third-party app), we may receive information from the other service, like how you use that service. For instance, when you choose to sign up or log in to our platform using sign-in features provided by third parties, such third parties provide us with information, such as your name, email address, and public profile. Carriers and other third parties may provide updated delivery and address information, which we use to correct our records and deliver your next purchase or communication more easily. Further, merchants whose products we sell may provide us account information, purchase or redemption information, and page-view information. Advertisers may share information with us as well. We may use this information obtained by advertisers, among other ways, to help target or measure the performance of advertisements. You can read more about sharing of personal data with such parties in Section 5 below.
  12. Information from Other Users - If another user uploads their contact list, we may combine information from that user’s contact list with other information we have collected about you.
