Privacy Policy

Why is this policy so short?

Because the site does very little. It is a set of static pages about fishing charters, with no database, no login and no basket. The one thing you can send it is the entry form, and only if you choose to.

A longer policy would mean describing data handling that does not happen. That is misleading in the direction that flatters — it makes a small site look substantial and it is false.

No accounts, and one optional form

You cannot create an account on Seward AK Fishing Charters, because there is no account system. There are no comment boxes, quote requests or mailing-list sign-ups anywhere.

The contact form, on the contact page. It asks for your name, your email address, an optional topic and your message. What you type is sent to the customer system used to answer it, and to nothing else. There is no hidden field and no newsletter checkbox. Not filling it in costs you nothing: the email address beside it reaches the same inbox.

It is not connected yet. The plumbing behind it is unfinished, so a submission today is not delivered anywhere at all. The form says so when that happens and gives you the email address instead. This paragraph goes when the delivery is real.

The second form is the prize draw. The charter calculator on the home page asks five questions about your trip and shows you the whole result without asking who you are — your answers stay in your browser and are sent nowhere. The form appears only afterwards, when you click through to a charter operator: it offers a prize draw and the site's emails, then opens their website.

You never have to fill it in. The same panel carries a plain link straight through to the operator. It is never hidden, never disabled, and taking it sends nothing at all.

If you do submit it, what is sent is your first name, your email address, your five answers, the cost estimate you were shown, which operator you were heading to, the page address and the time. That goes to the customer system used to email you. It is not sold, not shared with any charter operator and not added to an advertising audience.

Entering also adds you to this site's mailing list, which is said on the form itself before you submit. Every email carries an unsubscribe link. This site runs no giveaway, so there is nothing further to set out.

If you email the address on the contact page, that email arrives in an inbox and is kept for as long as it is useful. It is used to reply to you and to fix whatever you wrote in about. It is not added to a list, not sold and not shared.

No cookies

This site sets none. That is why you are not looking at a consent banner — there is nothing to consent to.

Your browser may store ordinary cache files for pages and images. That is your browser's own behaviour and is cleared however you normally clear it.

No analytics and no third-party scripts

There is no Google Analytics here, no tag manager, no pixel, no heatmap, no session recording and no advertising network.

There is also no chat widget. Nothing on these pages loads code from another company's servers, which means no third party receives a request from your browser when you read this site.

For a long time the only script in the build was an inert block of structured data. That changed when the charter calculator was added: the home page now carries one small script, written here and served from here, which steps through the questions and totals your answers.

It runs entirely in your browser. It sets no cookie, stores nothing between visits, and makes no request anywhere unless you submit the entry form. Every other page on the site still carries no script but the structured-data block.

The fonts are served from here, and once were not

Typefaces are an easy way for a site to leak visitors without meaning to. Loading them from a font service means the browser fetches them from that company on every page, handing over an IP address, a user-agent string and the address of the page being read.

This site did exactly that until recently. The sentence above about no third party receiving a request was false for as long as it lasted. The font files now sit on this site and are served from this domain, which is what makes that sentence true rather than aspirational.

[SLOT: if analytics or a chat widget is added, name the provider here, state what it stores, whether it uses cookies, and where the data is processed — same commit as the install]

Server logs

Like essentially every website, the server delivering these pages keeps standard access logs. Those typically record an IP address, the page requested, a timestamp and the browser's user-agent string.

They exist so the host can run and secure the server. They are not used to build a profile of you and are not connected to anything else.

[SLOT: name the web host once hosting is decided, and state the log retention period they actually apply]

Links to other sites

This site links to charter operators and government agencies. Once you follow a link you are on their site under their rules, and their privacy practices are theirs rather than ours.

Children

This site collects nothing from anybody, which includes children. There is no mechanism here through which a child could submit anything.

Your rights, and why there is little to exercise them on

Privacy law gives you rights to access, correct and delete personal data held about you. This site holds none, so in practice there is nothing to request.

If you have emailed us, that email exists and you can ask for it to be deleted. Write to the address on the contact page and it will be.
