Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026

Role of FishMatch. FishMatchGroup is a sourcing platform that introduces buyers to independent third-party aquaculture equipment Suppliers. FishMatch is not a manufacturer or distributor and is not a party to any supply contract. Once you engage a Supplier, that Supplier becomes an independent data controller for the personal data it processes to deliver your equipment or project, and its own privacy policy applies. FishMatch is not responsible for any Supplier's data practices.

1. Who we are

FishMatchGroup ("FishMatch", "we", "us") operates a sourcing platform that connects buyers with independent aquaculture equipment manufacturers, distributors and turnkey farm builders worldwide. We act as a neutral intermediary; we do not manufacture, stock, install or insure equipment.

2. Information we collect

Quote requests: name, email, phone/WhatsApp, company, country, farm location, aquaculture type, equipment category, production capacity (tons/year), project type, budget range, timeline, financing needs, preferred language and free-text notes.
Account data (suppliers and staff): contact details, company information, verification documents, product catalogues.
Usage data: pages viewed, source/UTM parameters, language, approximate location (from IP), device and browser, cookies.

3. How we use information

To match your request with relevant Suppliers and financing partners and return quotations.
To respond to enquiries, send transactional notifications and sourcing follow-up.
To improve the platform, prevent abuse and meet legal obligations.

4. Sharing with suppliers
