Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2026
Draft for review. This page is a starting point based on the Reel Legends app's existing privacy policy. Please have it reviewed by a legal professional and confirm every clause reflects your actual data practices before publishing.
Reel Legends ("we", "us", "our") respects your privacy. This policy explains what personal information we collect when you use the Reel Legends app and website, how we use it, and the choices you have. We process personal information in line with South Africa's Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA).
Information we collect
- Account details — your name, mobile number, and profile information you provide when you register.
- Catch and activity data — the catches you log (species, size, photos), points, badges, teams, and competition entries.
- Location — approximate or precise location, only when you use venue discovery and only with your permission.
- Device and usage data — device type, app version, and basic analytics used to keep the service reliable.
How we use your information
- To create and manage your account and verify catches.
- To run leaderboards, competitions, teams, badges and rewards.
- To show you fishing venues near you when you enable location.
- To communicate service updates, competition news, and support responses.
- To keep Reel Legends secure and to prevent fraud or abuse.
Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. Your public profile, catches and standings may be visible to other anglers as part of leaderboards and competitions. We share data with service providers (for example hosting and messaging) only as needed to operate the service, and with authorities where required by law.
Your choices & rights
You can access, correct or delete your account information, withdraw location permission at any time in your device settings, and opt out of non-essential communications. To exercise your POPIA rights or ask a question, contact us using the details below.
Data retention & security
We keep your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the service and meet legal obligations. We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data, though no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
Children
Reel Legends is intended for a general audience. If a user is a minor, a parent or guardian's consent is required in line with POPIA.
