Your Privacy

Topwater Safari ("we," "us") runs guided fishing and photography trips and sells fine-art prints. This policy explains what we collect, why, and the choices you have. We keep data collection to what we actually need to run the business.

Information we collect

• Trip inquiries. When you submit the booking form we collect your name, email, phone (if provided), trip details, and any notes you add.
• Print orders. When you buy a print, checkout and payment are handled by Stripe. We receive your name, email, shipping address, and order details so we can fulfill and ship your order. We never see or store your full card number — Stripe processes payment data directly.
• Usage data. Like most sites, we collect basic analytics (pages viewed, approximate location, device/browser) via Google Analytics to understand what's useful and improve the site.

How we use it

• Respond to trip requests and arrange your trip.
• Process, fulfill, and ship print orders, and send order updates.
• Send the email confirmations tied to your inquiry or order.
• Understand site usage and improve the experience.
• Comply with legal, tax, and accounting obligations.

Service providers we share with

We don't sell your personal information. We share only what's necessary with the providers that run the site and the business:

• Stripe — payment processing and order checkout.
• Resend — sending booking and order emails.
• Cloudflare — website hosting, security, and bot protection.
• Google Analytics / Tag Manager — site analytics.

Each handles your data under its own privacy and security terms.

Cookies & analytics

We use cookies and similar technologies for analytics and basic site function. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, and you can opt out of Google Analytics with the Google Analytics Opt-out Add-on.

Data retention

We keep trip inquiries and order records only as long as needed to serve you and to meet legal/tax requirements, then delete or anonymize them.

Your choices

You can ask us to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you. Just email us and we'll take care of it.

Children

The site isn't directed to children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their information.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by a new effective date above.
