Your Profile
Your profile is your public identity on Open Fishing Cup. It shows your statistics, personal bests, and catch gallery to other anglers.
Accessing Your Profile
Tap your avatar in the navigation bar and select Profile, or navigate to the Profile page from the menu.
Required Fields
Fields marked with a red asterisk (*) are mandatory:
- Display Name — your public username
- Country — determines which country rankings you appear in
Optional Public Fields
- Bio — a short description visible on your public profile
- Social Media Links — Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok URLs displayed on your profile
Private Fields
Some fields are marked with an 🔒 icon and are never shown publicly:
- Address
- Postal Code
- City
- Date of Birth
Hover over the lock icon next to a field to confirm it is private.
Changing Your Country
Updating your country triggers important changes:
- You are unregistered from any competitions that don’t include your new country
- Your country rankings are recalculated for both the old and new country
Changing your country cannot be undone instantly — rankings need to be recalculated.
Public Profile Page
Every angler has a public profile at /angler/your-slug showing:
- Statistics — total catches, species count
- Personal Bests — your longest catch for every species (not affected by year filters)
- Catch Gallery — paginated grid (12 per page) of your approved catches, with year and species filters
- Social Links — clickable icons for any social media you’ve added
Privacy Settings
Under Privacy Settings you can toggle Show full name. When enabled, your first and last name are displayed across the platform — on your public profile, catch cards, rankings, and notifications. When disabled, only your display name is shown.
Notification Settings
In the Notification Settings section you can configure:
- Email notifications — toggle on/off
- Push notifications — toggle on/off
- Override email — optionally receive notifications at a different email address
- Granular preferences — expand the collapsible section to enable or disable specific event types (e.g., likes, comments, follows, catch approvals). All are enabled by default.
Sharing Your Profile
Tap the Share button on your profile to generate a shareable card image or copy a direct link. You can share to social media, messaging apps, or download the image.
Deleting Your Account
In the Danger Zone at the bottom of your profile settings you can request account deletion.
- Tap Delete Account and confirm
- A 72-hour grace period starts — during this time you can cancel the request from the same section
- After 72 hours your account is permanently deleted, including all catches, images, rankings, competition data, follows, and notifications
Account deletion is irreversible after the grace period. All your data will be permanently removed.
