Privacy policy
Last updated 8 November 2026.
In short: this website does not ask for your name, does not need an account, and does not use advertising, tracking cookies or analytics. The only information we keep is what you choose to send in an anonymous catch report, and your email address if you subscribe to the forecast email.
Using the forecast website
Some settings are saved only on your own device, in your browser’s storage. They are never sent to us:
- the banks you choose for the 7-day outlook (the gear icon);
- whether you have already acknowledged a marine alert, until you close the browser tab;
- an offline copy of the site, so it still opens without a signal (if you install it as an app).
You can remove these at any time by clearing this site’s data in your browser settings.
Catch log
The catch log lets you report a fishing trip anonymously. It does not ask for your name or an account. It stores:
- the fishing date, bank, fishing method, target species, hours fished and number of anglers;
- whether you caught anything, and which species and how many;
- any notes you add. Please do not include names, phone numbers or other personal details in notes.
To stop the same trip being counted twice, your browser keeps a random ID. It is scrambled (hashed) before it is stored, so it does not identify you.
Catch reports are used only for combined statistics about fishing around Jamaica, such as catches by bank and season. Individual reports are not published.
Forecast email
If you subscribe to the daily forecast email, your email address is kept in a private Google Sheet and used only to send you the forecast. Every email has an unsubscribe link, which stops the emails straight away.
Sharing
We do not sell, rent or share your information with anyone, and we do not use it for advertising.
Questions
If you have a question about your information, or would like a catch report or your email address removed, please contact the site owner through andrewcheeky.com.
Changes
If this policy changes, the date at the top of this page will be updated.
