Privacy Policy | BDO Fish Map
Last updated: 2026-08-06
This Privacy Policy explains what data BDO Fish Map ("BDO Fish Map", "we", "us") collects, how it is used, and the choices you have. BDO Fish Map is an unofficial, fan-made fishing resource for Black Desert Online.
1. Information We Collect
Data you provide: We do not require an account and we do not collect your name, email address, or payment information to browse the site. Anything you save locally — such as bookmarks, favorites, and the map language — is stored only in your own browser via localStorage and never sent to our servers.
Data collected automatically: Like most websites, our servers keep routine access logs (IP address, browser type, pages visited, timestamps) used to secure the service, diagnose errors, and understand aggregate traffic.
2. Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use a small number of cookies and browser storage. These include strictly necessary storage for your preferences (language, map settings) and, with your consent, cookies set by third-party services:
- Analytics: Google Analytics (a "gtag" tag) helps us measure traffic and usage in aggregate. It may use cookies to recognise repeat visitors.
- Advertising: If and when advertising runs, Google AdSense (and its partners) may use cookies to show and measure ads and to build interest profiles. You can opt out of personalised advertising via Google Ads Settings.
Where required by law, we ask for consent before loading non-essential third-party scripts. You can change or withdraw consent at any time.
3. Third Parties
We may use reputable providers (for example, Google Analytics and Google AdSense) that process data under their own privacy policies. We do not sell your personal data.
4. How Long We Keep Data
Browsing data in your local storage remains until you clear it. Server access logs are retained only as long as necessary for security and operations, then deleted or anonymised.
5. Your Rights
Depending on where you live (for example, under the GDPR or CCPA), you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of your data. Where your data is processed by third parties such as Google, their tools provide the relevant controls.
You can also: clear your browser's storage at any time; use your browser or ad-blocking controls to manage cookies; and use the Google Analytics Opt-out Add-on.
6. Children's Privacy
BDO Fish Map is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top shows the latest revision.
