Privacy Policy

The Privacy Policy tells you what information we collect, how we protect it and what choices you have about how that information is used. Most information collected is to enable us to best meet your needs as a water sports enthusiast and to meet general local information needs. In no way should information presented on this site base your decision to act in an irresponsible manner.

BeachWave does not allow children under the age of thirteen (13) to register because BeachWave must comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Rule, which prohibits the online collection of personal information from people under 13. Please note that any information that you reveal in a public forum (such as a bulletin board or chat room/event) will be seen by third parties not related to BeachWave and is therefore not subject to this privacy policy. Also, if you link to a third party site from BeachWave, any information you reveal on that site is not subject to this Privacy Policy. You should consult the privacy policies of each site you visit.
