PRIVACY POLICY

Effective Date: 01/12/2026

Muckmasters (“we,” “our,” or “us”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information collected through our website, event registrations, and in-person activities. This Privacy Policy describes how information is collected, used, shared, and protected in connection with Muckmasters fishing tournaments and related events.

Muckmasters may collect personal information such as names, email addresses, phone numbers, mailing addresses, emergency contact information, and event-related details including angler, boat, vendor, volunteer, or sponsor registration information. Payment information submitted in connection with registrations, sponsorships, or donations is processed through secure third-party payment processors. Muckmasters does not store or retain credit card or banking information.

Information collected is used to administer events, process registrations and payments, communicate schedules and updates, coordinate logistics, ensure participant safety, respond to inquiries, and improve the overall event and website experience. Information may also be used to fulfill legal, regulatory, insurance, and permit requirements associated with hosting public events.

Muckmasters events may include youth participants. Personal information for individuals under the age of thirteen is not knowingly collected without verifiable parental or guardian consent. All youth registrations must be completed by a parent or legal guardian, and any information collected for minors is used solely for event participation, safety, and communication purposes. If personal information from a minor is believed to have been collected without proper consent, Muckmasters should be contacted promptly so the matter can be addressed.

Muckmasters events are public in nature and may be photographed, filmed, or recorded. By attending or participating in a Muckmasters event, individuals acknowledge and agree that their image, likeness, or voice may be captured and used for promotional, marketing, educational, recap, or sponsor-related purposes across digital, print, and media platforms. Participants with concerns regarding media usage should contact Muckmasters prior to the event.

Muckmasters does not sell or rent personal information. Information may be shared with trusted third-party service providers that assist with registration systems, payment processing, communications, marketing, or event operations. Information may also be shared with government agencies, municipalities, tourism partners, law enforcement, or emergency services when required for permitting, safety, compliance, or legal obligations. Disclosure may occur when required by law or to protect the rights, safety, or property of participants, staff, volunteers, sponsors, or the public.

By registering for an event or providing contact information, individuals may receive event-related communications including confirmations, reminders, schedule changes, safety alerts, or logistical updates. Recipients may opt out of non-essential communications by following the unsubscribe instructions provided within those messages.

Muckmasters’ website may use cookies and analytics tools to understand traffic patterns, improve website functionality, and enhance user experience. Browser settings may be adjusted to disable cookies, though some website features may not function as intended.

Reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards are implemented to protect collected information. While no data transmission or storage system can be guaranteed as fully secure, Muckmasters takes appropriate measures to reduce risk and protect personal information.

The Muckmasters website may contain links to third-party websites or services. Muckmasters is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of external sites and encourages users to review third-party privacy policies independently.

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. Any changes will be posted on the website with an updated effective date, and continued use of Muckmasters services constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.

This Privacy Policy is governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida.
