Who we are
Surfstore.com ("we", "us") is an independent surf travel publication. This policy explains what personal data we collect, why, and your rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Data we collect
- Email subscriptions: your email address, optional name, and the page you signed up from. Used solely to send our newsletter and the lead magnets you requested.
- Contact form: your name, email and message, used to reply to you.
- Analytics: anonymised page views and outbound link clicks (no IP addresses or personal identifiers are stored by our own analytics).
- Cookies: we use a consent cookie to remember your choice and, only if you accept, analytics cookies.
Legal basis & retention
Newsletter data is processed on the basis of your consent, which you can withdraw at any time via the unsubscribe link in every email or by contacting us. We retain subscriber data until you unsubscribe and contact messages for up to 24 months.
Affiliate links
When you click "Check availability" buttons you are taken to partner websites. Those sites have their own privacy policies; we only record that an anonymous click occurred, for statistics.
Your rights
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data, and you have the right to lodge a complaint with your supervisory authority. Contact us via the contact page to exercise any right — we respond within 30 days.
Data sharing & security
We never sell your data. Data is stored on secured servers within encrypted databases, and access is restricted to the editorial team.
