We take your privacy seriously. Please read this privacy policy carefully, as it explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights. If you do not agree with this policy, please do not access or use our Services.
This policy is designed to comply with applicable laws, including the Florida Information Protection Act (FIPA) regarding data security and breach notifications, and federal laws such as the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

- To provide and manage our Services (e.g., booking charters, processing payments, sending confirmations)
- To communicate with you (e.g., responding to inquiries, sending updates or promotional offers with your consent)

5. How Long Do We Keep Your Information?

6. How Do We Keep Your Information Secure?
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data, including encryption and access controls. However, no system is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. In case of a breach, we comply with FIPA notification requirements.
7. Children's Privacy
Our Services are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without parental consent, in compliance with COPPA. If we learn of such collection, we will delete it. Parents can contact us for details.

- Access, update, or delete your information
- Opt out of marketing communications
- Withdraw consent where applicable.
To exercise these rights, contact us. We respond within a reasonable timeframe. Note that we may retain certain data for legal reasons.
Florida residents: While Florida lacks a comprehensive privacy law like California's CCPA, you may have rights under federal laws or in case of data breaches.
9. Links to Other Websites
Our Services may link to third-party sites. We are not responsible for their privacy practices. Review their policies before providing information.
