Privacy Policy
Effective date: July 2, 2026
Captain David White Fishing Charters ("we," "us," or "our") operates this website to help you learn about and book fishing charters around Anna Maria Island, Florida. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit the site or contact us, how we use it, and the choices you have.
Information you give us
When you fill out our booking or contact form, we collect the information you provide: your name, phone number, email address, preferred trip date, party size, and the trips you're interested in. If you call or email us directly, we keep the contact details and trip information you share so we can respond and arrange your charter.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, we and our service providers collect some technical information automatically when you visit: your IP address, browser and device type, the pages you view, and how you arrived at the site. Our website is hosted by Cloudflare, whose systems keep standard server and security logs.
Cookies, analytics, and advertising
We may use Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and use the site — for example, which pages are most popular and whether visitors reach us from search, ads, or other websites. Google Analytics uses cookies to report visits in aggregate; it does not give us your name or contact details.
If we run advertising, we may also use Google Ads conversion tracking, which sets cookies to tell us when a visit or booking inquiry came from one of our ads. This helps us measure whether our advertising works.
You can learn more about how Google handles this data, and opt out, here:
- How Google uses information from sites that use its services
- Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on
- Google ad personalization settings
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time; the site will still work.
How we use your information
- To respond to your inquiry and arrange your fishing trip.
- To communicate about a booked or requested trip (scheduling, weather, meeting point).
- To understand how the website is used and improve it.
- To measure the effectiveness of our marketing.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not send unsolicited marketing email.
Who we share information with
We share information only with the service providers who make the website and our communications work: Cloudflare (website hosting, security, and spam protection on our forms) and Google (analytics and advertising measurement, as described above). We may also disclose information if the law requires it. No one else receives your personal information.
How long we keep it
We keep booking and contact information for as long as we need it to arrange and follow up on trips, and as required for ordinary business records. You can ask us to delete your information at any time using the contact details below.
Children's privacy
Kids are welcome on our charters, but this website is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. Bookings are made by adults.
Links to other sites
This site links to other websites — for example, Google Maps for directions and the gear brands we use. Their privacy practices are their own; this policy covers only our site.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we'll post the updated version here with a new effective date at the top of the page.
