Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Brazosport Fishing Guide (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you visit brazosportfishingguide.com (the “Site”) or submit a trip inquiry. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.
Who We Are
Brazosport Fishing Guide is an informational resource and charter-referral service for the Freeport, Texas and Brazosport area. We publish guides on species, seasons, fishing spots, and regulations, and we connect anglers with independent charter operators. We do not operate charter vessels ourselves.
Information We Collect
When you submit a trip-inquiry form, we collect the information you provide, which may include:
- Your name
- Email address
- Phone number
- Preferred trip date, trip type, and group size
- Any additional notes or requests you choose to include
We do not require you to create an account, and we do not knowingly collect more than you choose to submit. We collect limited, aggregate analytics about Site usage (such as page views and referring sites) through Cloudflare Web Analytics, which is cookie-free and does not track individuals across sites.
How We Use Your Information
- To forward your trip inquiry to charter operators serving the Brazosport area
- To respond to questions you send us directly
- To send seasonal updates, if you opt in to our email list
- To understand, in aggregate, how the Site is used and improve our content
Third-Party Referrals
Trip inquiry forms submitted through this Site may be shared with third-party fishing charter operators and guide services operating in the Brazosport, Texas area. We do not operate charters ourselves. We do not independently verify the credentials, licenses, insurance status, or suitability of any third-party operator who may contact you in response to your inquiry. You are responsible for conducting your own due diligence before booking any trip.
By submitting an inquiry form, you consent to your contact information and trip details being shared with third parties for the purpose of receiving fishing charter quotes and availability information.
Service Providers
We use trusted third-party services to operate the Site and process inquiries. Each receives only the data needed to perform its function:
- Web3Forms — processes and delivers trip-inquiry form submissions.
- Cal.com — powers optional call scheduling (loads only if you click to book a call).
- Mailchimp — manages our seasonal-update email list, if you subscribe.
- Cloudflare — hosts the Site and provides cookie-free analytics and security.
- Google Maps — displays a map only after you click to load it.
These providers process data under their own privacy policies. We do not sell your personal information.
Cookies and Tracking
The Site loads no advertising or cross-site tracking cookies on page load. Embedded services such as Cal.com and Google Maps are click-to-load — they are not requested, and set no cookies, until you choose to interact with them. Our analytics are cookie-free.
Your Choices and Rights
You may unsubscribe from our email list at any time using the link in any message. You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal information you have submitted by emailing privacy@brazosportfishingguide.com. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under applicable privacy laws; we will honor valid requests as required by law.
Data Retention
We retain trip-inquiry information only as long as needed to facilitate your referral and for reasonable record-keeping, after which it is deleted or anonymized.
Children’s Privacy
The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by an updated “Last updated” date above.
