Member information

Privacy policy

How CIKBS collects, uses, shares, and protects information from members, guests, and website visitors.

Pre-launch draftLast updated August 29, 2026
Before paid registration opens

This policy should be reviewed before live payments open and whenever email delivery, analytics, or tournament-scoring providers change.

1. Information we collect

CIKBS may collect your name, email address, account identity and sign-in method, phone number, hometown, kayak information, emergency-contact name and phone number, membership status, event registrations, waiver acknowledgements, payment status, and communications with the series. We also receive basic technical information needed to operate the website, such as session cookies, browser information, IP address, and security logs. CIKBS does not receive Google passwords or readable copies of passwords managed by Supabase.

2. How we use information

We use information to create and secure accounts, administer memberships and tournaments, communicate schedule or safety updates, verify eligibility, process registrations, maintain results and season points, respond to questions, prevent fraud, and comply with legal or insurance requirements.

3. Emergency-contact information

Emergency-contact details are used only for safety, incident response, and event administration. Members should provide this information only with the contact's knowledge. CIKBS does not publish emergency-contact information.

4. Service providers

CIKBS uses Cloudflare for hosting and security, Supabase for authentication and database services, Google for optional account sign-in, and Stripe for hosted membership-payment processing. Stripe receives payment and billing information under its own terms and privacy policy. CIKBS receives transaction identifiers, payment status, amounts, and limited receipt information, but does not receive or store complete payment-card numbers.

5. Sharing

CIKBS does not sell personal information. We may share limited information with service providers, tournament directors, scoring officials, insurers, permitting authorities, or emergency personnel when reasonably necessary. Public results may include an angler's name, placement, score, photographs, and awards.

6. Retention and security

We retain records for as long as reasonably needed for tournament administration, accounting, dispute resolution, safety, insurance, and legal obligations. We use access controls and row-level database security, but no online system can guarantee absolute security.

7. Your choices

You may request access, correction, or deletion of your account information by contacting CIKBS. Some records may be retained where required for financial, safety, insurance, or legal purposes. You may reset an email password through the sign-in page or disconnect Google access through your Google Account settings.

8. Children

The website is not directed to children under 13. A minor may participate only under the published event rules and with all required parent or legal-guardian consent.

9. Changes and contact

We may update this policy as the series and its service providers change. Material changes will be posted here. Questions or privacy requests may be sent to info@cikbs.org.
