Privacy Policy

Draft for review. This page is a plain-language starting point, not legal advice. Have a qualified attorney review it before publishing.

Flood Tide Digital ("we," "us") builds websites for outdoor and fishing businesses from Hillsborough, North Carolina. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit floodtidedigital.com, how we use it, and the choices you have. We keep it short so you can actually read it.

Information we collect

Information you give us. When you fill out our contact or quote form, we collect what you enter, such as your name, email address, phone number, business name, website, and details about your project.

Information collected automatically. When you browse the site, our analytics and advertising tools collect basic technical information, such as your browser and device type, approximate location (city or region), pages you view, how you arrived at the site, and how long you stay.

Google Analytics 4

We use Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID G-X9MPN0DT15) to understand how people find and use the site, so we can improve it. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect usage data. Google processes this data under its own privacy policy. You can opt out of Google Analytics on any site by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on from Google.

Meta Pixel

We use the Meta Pixel, a small piece of code from Meta (the company behind Facebook and Instagram). It helps us measure whether our ads work and lets us show ads to people who have visited our site. The Pixel may collect information about your visit, such as pages viewed and actions taken, and Meta may connect it to your Facebook or Instagram account. You can manage how Meta uses this data in your Facebook or Instagram ad settings.

Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored in your browser. We and our partners use them to keep the site working, measure traffic, and support advertising. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you do, the site will still work, but analytics and ad measurement may not.

How we use your information

• To reply to your inquiry and send quotes or proposals you asked for
• To deliver and support the work you hire us for
• To understand how the site is used and make it better
• To measure and improve our advertising
• To meet legal, tax, and accounting obligations

We do not sell your personal information. We will not add you to a marketing list without your permission, and you can unsubscribe from any email we send.

Third parties we work with

We share information only with service providers that help us run the business, such as:

• Webflow, which hosts this website and processes form submissions
• Google, for analytics
• Meta, for ad measurement
• Email, scheduling, and business tools we use to respond to inquiries and manage projects

We may also share information if required by law or to protect our rights.

How long we keep information

We keep contact form submissions and project records for as long as we need them to work with you and to meet legal and accounting requirements. You can ask us to delete your information at any time.

Your rights and choices

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

• Ask what personal information we have about you
• Ask us to correct or delete it
• Opt out of targeted advertising
• Unsubscribe from marketing emails

To make a request, email us at the address below. We will respond within a reasonable time and will not treat you differently for asking.

Children

This site is meant for business owners and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the effective date at the top of this page.
