When you submit a form on our website, we collect the information shown in the form so we can respond to your request. This may include your name, email address, phone number, requested dates, rental preferences, and any additional message you choose to provide.
Form submissions may be stored in our website system, sent to our business email, or processed through third-party website tools used to manage inquiries.
Payments and Reservations
If payment links, booking tools, or reservation platforms are used on this website, your payment information may be processed securely by a third-party payment processor. PNW Boat Rentals does not directly store full credit card numbers on this website unless specifically stated by the payment provider.
Any payment or booking provider you use may collect and process your information according to its own privacy policy and terms.
Cookies
Our website may use cookies to improve your browsing experience, remember preferences, help forms function properly, and understand how visitors use the site.
Cookies are small files stored on your device. You can disable cookies through your browser settings, though some website features may not work properly without them.
If our website includes login functionality, the site may set cookies to manage login sessions, screen preferences, and security settings.
Website Analytics
We may use analytics tools, such as Google Analytics or similar services, to understand how visitors use our website. These tools may collect information such as pages visited, time on site, device type, browser type, approximate location, and referral source.
This information helps us improve the website and better understand what visitors are looking for.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Pages on this website may include embedded content such as videos, maps, images, social media posts, booking tools, or other third-party features.
Embedded content from other websites behaves as if you visited that third-party website directly. These third-party websites may collect data about you, use cookies, track your interaction with the embedded content, or monitor your activity if you are logged into their service.
Examples may include embedded maps, videos, reviews, social media content, or booking-related tools.
Media and Photos
If you upload images or files through the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data, such as EXIF GPS data. Visitors or website administrators may be able to download and extract location data from uploaded images.
PNW Boat Rentals may also use photos, videos, or media provided by customers only when appropriate permission has been granted, such as through a rental agreement, media release, or direct consent.
Comments
If comments are enabled on the website and visitors leave comments, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.
An anonymized string created from your email address, also called a hash, may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine whether you use it. The Gravatar privacy policy is available at: https://automattic.com/privacy/
After approval of your comment, your profile picture may be visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Who We Share Your Information With
We may share information with trusted third-party service providers who help us operate our website, respond to inquiries, process payments, manage bookings, provide analytics, or maintain website security.
These providers may include website hosting companies, form tools, email services, payment processors, booking platforms, analytics providers, or spam protection services.
We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect our business, to enforce rental agreements, or to respond to legal or safety-related requests.
How Long We Retain Your Information
We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
Rental inquiry, reservation, customer communication, waiver, and payment-related records may be retained for administrative, legal, accounting, insurance, or business purposes.
If comments are enabled, comments and their metadata may be retained indefinitely so follow-up comments can be recognized and approved automatically.
For registered users, if any, we store the personal information provided in the user profile. Users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except they may not be able to change their username. Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
Your Rights Over Your Data
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or request that we delete it.
This does not include information we are required to keep for administrative, legal, accounting, insurance, security, or rental-related purposes.
To make a request, please contact us using the contact information provided on our website.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor form submissions, comments, and website activity may be checked through automated spam detection, website security, analytics, or form processing services.
Some third-party providers may process data outside of your state or country.
How We Protect Your Information
We take reasonable steps to protect information submitted through our website. However, no website, email system, or online transmission is completely secure. Please avoid sending sensitive personal information through general contact forms unless specifically requested through a secure method.
