At Smooth Sailing Miami, we value your privacy. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you use our website or book a yacht charter with us. By visiting our site, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
Who we are
Our website address is https://smoothsailingmiami.com. If you need more details about our policies or services, please visit our Terms and Conditions page.
Comments
When you leave a comment, we collect the data you provide in the form, as well as your IP address and browser user agent to help detect spam.
We may also use Gravatar to display your profile picture. To check whether you use Gravatar, an anonymized string created from your email address is sent to the service. You can review their Gravatar Privacy Policy. After we approve your comment, your profile picture appears publicly next to it.
Media
If you upload images to our website, avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS), as others may be able to download and extract it.
Cookies
To improve your experience, we use cookies for various purposes.
When you leave a comment, you can choose to save your name, email, and website in cookies. This helps you avoid re-entering details later. These cookies last for one year.
If you visit our login page, our site sets a temporary cookie to check whether your browser accepts cookies. It doesn’t store personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.
After logging in, we set several cookies to store your login credentials and display preferences. These last two days by default, or two weeks if you select “Remember Me.” Logging out removes these cookies.
If you publish or edit a post, another cookie saves the post ID. It expires after one day and contains no personal information.
Embedded content from other websites
Some articles on our site may include embedded content like videos, images, or articles. This embedded content behaves just as if you visited the source website.
External websites may collect your data, use cookies, track your activity, and monitor your interactions—especially if you’re logged into their platform.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, we include your IP address in the reset email. We do not share personal data with third parties without your consent.
How long we retain your data
Suggested text: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
Suggested text: If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
Suggested text: Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
