Privacy Policy
Sunset Bonita Charters, operated by Bonita Beach Boat Center Inc (“we,” “our,” or “us”), values your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit our website sunsetbonita.com and related pages or services.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information you provide directly to us, including when you:
- Book a cruise or tour
- Sign up or log in with your phone number
- Contact us through forms or email
This may include your name, phone number, email address, booking details, and payment preferences. We may also automatically collect non-identifying information such as your browser type, device, and visit data.
2. Use of Phone Numbers, SMS Messages, and Voice Calls
Security & Verification Messages (Transactional)
When you enter your phone number on our website, we will send you a one-time verification code by text message or automated voice call to confirm your identity and secure your account. These messages are strictly transactional and are sent only for account access, booking confirmation, and security purposes.
Providing your phone number for verification does not constitute consent to receive marketing or promotional text messages.
Marketing Messages (Optional – Requires Explicit Consent)
You may separately choose to receive updates or promotional texts about special offers, events, and new tours by checking the optional consent box during signup. This consent is optional and not required to book or verify your account. We do not use automated voice calls for marketing purposes.
If you opt-in to marketing messages, message and data rates may apply. You can withdraw consent at any time by replying STOP to any message or by contacting us directly at info@sunsetbonita.com.
For help, reply HELP to any text message or contact us at the information provided below.
3. How We Use Your Information
- To process and confirm reservations
- To verify your identity and secure your account
- To respond to customer inquiries
- To improve our services and website experience
- To send optional marketing updates (only with your consent)
4. Data Protection, Retention, and Security
We use encryption, secure servers, and limited access controls to protect your personal data. While we take reasonable measures to safeguard your information, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection against all threats.
We retain SMS and voice verification records (such as timestamps and delivery status) only as long as necessary to fulfill verification and legal obligations, after which they are securely deleted.
5. Sharing of Information
We do not sell or rent your personal information. We may share limited data with trusted partners (such as payment processors or SMS providers like Twilio) solely to deliver our services. All third-party partners are required to protect your information in accordance with applicable privacy laws.
6. Your Rights
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data by contacting us. You can also opt out of any marketing communications at any time by replying STOP to an SMS or emailing us at info@sunsetbonita.com.
7. Cookies and Tracking
Our website may use cookies or analytics tools to improve functionality and measure usage. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but some features may not function as intended.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date. Continued use of our services after changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms.
