Cookies
www.ifish.net uses browser cookies to facilitate your experience

they enable us to recognize that your browser has previously visited
and used our site, products or services and, based on your browser's
previous visits, assist us with tailoring the information and content,
banners and promotions you view. An example of the customization
allowed by the use of such cookies is to retain your username and

www.ifish.net strives to maintain strict security for your private
information. Our online ordering pages are PayPal enabled, providing
a secure means of ordering our products. We do not maintain any
credit card information at www.ifish.net, which means that you have

your information is controlled by you alone.

Any personal information you provide to us in the course of obtaining
technical support, or asking other questions about www.ifish.net
will be used only for the purposes for which it was submitted. We
may store the information, but we will not use it for any other

All reasonable care is
taken by our staff in handling your personal information to ensure
its security both offline and online. It is our policy to destroy
server access and any personal information provided during the technical
support process upon completion of the technical support incident.
Postings on Message
Boards
It is important for you to remain aware that when you provide personal
information (e.g., last name, address, phone number) in a posting
on any message board, that information is available to any other
person or user having access and use of that message board, and
may be used by someone in a manner unintended by you. For that reason,
we discourage you from offering any personally identifying information
within a posting to any message board.
