Infish App: Data Privacy and the Deletion of Personal Data

The Infish App is developed on behalf of the Inland Fisheries Service (IFS), a service of the State Government of Tasmania, by Getbusi.

The Infish App contains an Angler Portal which enables anglers to access their licence information and angler diary. If you have used either of these features, IFS will have retained your account details and angler records.

All personal data is managed in accordance with the Personal Information Protection Act 2004 as legislated by the State Government of Tasmania. As a result, anglers are not able to delete their account directly within the app.

Should you wish to delete this data please contact IFS on (03) 6165 3808 or email infish@ifs.tas.gov.au

To review your request we will require your:

Please note that if you have purchased an IFS Angling Licence or if you have been issued with an infringement notice by an IFS Compliance Officer, there are data retention requirements legislated by the State Government of Tasmania which will limit the deletion of some data.

How the Infish App accesses, collects, uses, and shares user data.

When using the Infish App certain user information is required for some features to operate. This user data is used within the app as follows:

Geolocation.

Geolocation is used to provide anglers with a list of the nearest fishing locations to their current location. This data is only accessed in a transient fashion when this part of the app is accessed. The app does not collect, record, share or store angler location data in any way.

Personal Information.

Anglers are able to use all of the general features within the app, including Going Fishing, IFS Angling Code and Latest News without providing any personal information.

To use the Licence and Angler Diary section of the app, anglers must be registered for online access with IFS. The registration process can be accessed from within the app if you are not already registered.

The Inland Fisheries Service is a service of the State Government of Tasmania, with the issuing of licences being strictly governed by the relevant legislation. By accessing the app with your Angler Account you will gain access to your current licensing information and the Angler Diary.

To access the Licence and Angler Diary section you will be required to provide your Licence Number.

All Angler Diary entries created within the app are collected and stored by IFS to enable access to the diary from any platform or device the angler uses.

This data is not shared with any third party outside of IFS and the developers.
