Privacy Policy
Effective November 14, 2026. This policy explains what information The Fly Fishing Collective collects on this website and how we use it.
Who we are
This website is run by Goates Fishing Co., LLC, doing business as The Fly Fishing Collective (“we,” “us”), based in Utah. Our member community is hosted on Skool, which has its own privacy policy.
What we collect
Information you give us. When you fill out a form on this site, such as the creator application or the partner inquiry, we collect what you enter. That can include your name, email address, business name, social media handles, website, location and anything you write in the message fields.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we use analytics tools that record how the site is used: the pages you visit, how you got here, your browser and device type, and your approximate location based on your IP address. We use Google Analytics and our website host Framer’s built-in analytics for this. Google Analytics uses cookies to do it.
How we use it
• To respond to your application or inquiry and follow up with you.
• To run the creator and partner programs.
• To understand how people use the site so we can improve it.
• To comply with legal obligations.
We do not sell your personal information.
Who we share it with
We share information only with the service providers that help us run the site and the community, such as Framer (website hosting and forms), Google (analytics) and Skool (our member platform), and only as needed for them to provide their services. We may also share information if the law requires it or to protect our rights.
Cookies and your choices
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. You can also opt out of Google Analytics with Google’s browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. The site will still work if you do.
How long we keep it
We keep form submissions for as long as we need them to work with you, and analytics data for the retention period set in our analytics tools. You can ask us to delete your information at any time.
Your rights
You can ask us what information we have about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. To make a request, contact us using the details below.
Children
This site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you think a child has given us information, contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we’ll update it on this page and change the effective date above.
