If you sign up for our emails, we send service reminders and occasional boating tips. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing takes effect right away. We do not sell or rent your email address.
Information Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with service providers who help us run the business, such as our website host, email platform, and advertising partners, and only as needed to perform those services. We may also disclose information if required by law.
Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect the information we collect. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
