Privacy Policy

Fish Stocking Alert is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices.

What We Collect

• Email address: only when you sign up for stocking alerts. We do not collect your email for any other purpose.

• Dark mode preference: stored locally in your browser via localStorage. This never leaves your device.

How We Use It

Your email address, if provided, is used solely to send you fish stocking alerts for the waters you select. We will never use it for marketing unrelated to fish stocking, and we will never sell, rent, or share it with third parties.

Analytics data is used to understand which features are useful and to improve the site. It is not linked to any personally identifiable information.
