The short version
We collect what we need to run your trip — name, contact info, waiver, and payment. We don't sell it, we don't send you marketing you didn't ask for, and we delete it when we no longer need it.
What we collect.
- Booking details — name, email, phone, mailing address, party size, and the trip you booked.
- Payment information — processed by Shopify Payments. We see the last four digits and expiration month; we never see your full card number.
- Waiver responses — signed through Smartwaiver, stored on their platform under our account.
- Website analytics — Shopify's built-in analytics show us aggregate page views and traffic sources. No personally identifiable browsing history.
Why we collect it.
- To confirm your trip, coordinate meeting times, and reach you if the river blows out.
- To process payment for services rendered.
- To meet Washington state's guide-service record-keeping requirements.
- To send you your receipt and any trip-specific instructions.
Who we share it with.
- Shopify — hosts the store and processes payments.
- Smartwaiver — hosts our liability waiver system.
- WDFW — if required, we report guided-trip counts as part of our licensed guide reporting obligation. This is trip volume, not client identity.
- Nobody else. We don't sell client lists, we don't share your info with marketing partners, and we don't run affiliate tracking.
How long we keep it.
Booking records stay in Shopify for as long as the account is active — typically we retain the past three seasons for tax and record-keeping. Waivers are retained by Smartwaiver under their standard retention. You can request deletion of your personal record at any time by emailing catchus@fishicalpursuit.net — we'll process it within 30 days, subject to any legal record-keeping we can't waive.
Your rights.

- Opt out of any email that isn't directly about your booked trip — reply "stop" or email us.
