BassFacts.com is an informational website about largemouth bass and bass fishing. We do not currently offer public user registration or public comments. This policy explains the limited information that may be processed when people visit or use the site.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, our hosting and security infrastructure may create server logs when a page is requested. Those logs can include information such as an IP address, browser or device information, requested URL, referring page, date and time, and technical error information. We use this information to operate, secure and troubleshoot the site.
Cookies
WordPress may use cookies for administrative login and site-management functions. Ordinary visitors do not need an account to read Bass Facts. Third-party services or embedded content may set their own cookies subject to their own privacy policies.
Analytics
We may use analytics services, including Google Analytics, to understand aggregate site traffic and how readers use Bass Facts. When analytics is enabled, the service may process information such as page views, approximate location, device/browser characteristics, referral source and interactions with the site. Analytics configuration can change as the site develops, and this policy will be updated when material data practices change.
Amazon and affiliate links
Bass Facts participates in the Amazon Associates Program. Some links to products are affiliate links. If you follow one of those links, Amazon may receive information about the referral and may use cookies or similar technologies according to Amazon’s own policies. Bass Facts may earn a commission from qualifying purchases at no additional cost to you. See our Affiliate Disclosure for more information.
External links and embedded content
Articles may link to or embed material from wildlife agencies, research publishers, fishing organizations, video platforms, retailers or other third parties. Visiting or interacting with those services is governed by the third party’s own privacy practices, not this policy.
Information you choose to provide
If Bass Facts later offers forms, email subscriptions or other ways to submit information, we will use the information for the purpose for which it was provided and will update this policy when appropriate. We do not sell personal information to advertisers.
Data retention and security
Technical logs and service data may be retained for periods determined by our hosting, security and analytics providers. We use reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect the site, but no internet service can guarantee absolute security.
Children
Bass Facts is a general-audience informational website and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly ask children under 13 to submit personal information.
Changes to this policy
We may revise this policy as BassFacts.com adds or changes services. The date at the top of the page will show the most recent substantive update.
