Privacy Policy

Who we are

Our website address is: https://divesouthpadre.com

This privacy policy has been compiled to better serve those who are concerned with how their “Personally Identifiable Information” (PII) is being used online. PII, as described in US privacy law and information security, is information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify, contact, or locate a single person, or to identify an individual in context. Please read our privacy policy carefully to get a clear understanding of how we collect, use, protect or otherwise handle your Personally Identifiable Information in accordance with our website.

What personal information do we collect?

We collect personal information only when you give it to us directly — by calling the shop, emailing us, or booking a guided snorkel trip through our booking partner, FareHarbor. Depending on how you reach out, this may include your name, email address, phone number, and details about your requested trip or service. We do not have on-site forms, user accounts, or a shopping cart, and we do not collect payment or credit card information through this website.

When do we collect information?

We collect information only when you contact us by phone or email, or when you book a snorkel trip through the FareHarbor booking flow linked from our Snorkeling page.

How do we use your information?

We use the information you give us to:

• Respond to your questions and requests.
• Provide the service or trip you contacted us about.
• Follow up after a phone or email inquiry.

We do not use your information for marketing emails, newsletters, or advertising.

How do we protect your information?

This website is served entirely over HTTPS, so any information transmitted between your browser and our site is encrypted in transit. We do not store payment or credit card information on our servers — trip payments are handled directly by our booking partner, FareHarbor, under its own security and privacy practices.

Do we use cookies or tracking?

No. This website does not use cookies, analytics scripts, advertising pixels, or any other tracking technology. We do not track your browsing activity on this site, and no data about your visit is collected or shared with third parties as a result of simply browsing the site.

Third-party disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to outside parties. We may release information when required to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect our or others' rights, property, or safety.

Third-party links

Our Snorkeling page links out to FareHarbor, an independent third-party booking platform, to schedule and pay for guided snorkel trips. FareHarbor has its own separate privacy policy governing the information you provide there, and we encourage you to review it before booking. We have no responsibility for the content, activities, or privacy practices of that or any other third-party site we may link to.

California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA)

CalOPPA requires commercial websites that collect Personally Identifiable Information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy. In line with CalOPPA, you can visit our site anonymously, this policy is linked from our footer on every page, and you can change or correct personal information you've given us by emailing or calling us.

You will be notified of any changes to this policy on this page.

How does our site handle Do Not Track signals?

Because this site does not use cookies or tracking technology of any kind, there is nothing to disable — Do Not Track signals are effectively honored by default.

COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act)

When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under the age of 13, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children's privacy and safety online. We do not specifically market to children under the age of 13.

Data breach notification

If a data breach affecting your personal information were to occur, we will notify you by email or phone within 7 business days of confirming the breach.
