Privacy Policy

Who we are

Kalakamu is a Finnish fly fishing travel company. Our website is kalakamu.com. The data controller is Tommi Heinonen, [email protected].

What data we collect and why

Contact and inquiry forms — When you send us a message through our website, we collect your name, email address, and the content of your message. We use this to respond to your inquiry. Legal basis: legitimate interest.

Newsletter signup — When you subscribe to our mailing list, we collect your email address. We use Kit (formerly ConvertKit) to manage our newsletter. Legal basis: your consent. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in every email.

Booking and payment — When you book a trip, your booking and payment are processed through WeTravel. WeTravel collects the personal and payment information necessary to complete your reservation. WeTravel acts as an independent data controller for payment data. See WeTravel's privacy policy for details.

Website analytics — With your consent, we use Google Analytics 4 (provided by Google Ireland Limited) to understand how visitors use our site: pages viewed, approximate location derived from a truncated IP address, device and browser type, and referring source. The data is aggregated and used only to improve the site. Analytics cookies are not set until you accept them in our cookie banner, and no personal data is shared with advertisers. Legal basis: your consent.

How long we keep your data

We keep contact form messages for up to 2 years. Newsletter subscriber data is kept until you unsubscribe. Booking-related data is kept for the duration required by Finnish accounting and tax law (6 years).
