Privacy Policy
How Southeast Coast handles site analytics, advertising and user information.
Southeast Coast publishes independent travel, beach and surf-planning information. This policy explains the information the site may receive and the choices available to visitors.
Information you provide
If you email Southeast Coast, we receive the email address and information included in your message. We use it to respond, review a correction or evaluate the request. The Beach Trip Planner does not require an account and does not ask for a name, email address or precise starting location.
Basic site and device information
Our hosting, security and analytics providers may process information such as IP address, browser type, device type, pages requested, approximate region, referring page, timestamps and error or security events. This information can help operate, secure and understand the site.
Cookies, analytics and advertising
Southeast Coast may use cookies or similar technologies for site operation, audience measurement and advertising. Where consent is required, visitors should receive an appropriate consent choice before non-essential cookies or personalized advertising are used. Advertising partners, including Google when its services are enabled, may use data according to their own policies and the choices presented through the site's consent controls.
External services and links
The site connects visitors to public-data services, maps, live-camera sources and local-government or travel websites. Those services receive information under their own privacy policies when you open or interact with them. Southeast Coast does not control third-party privacy practices.
How information is used and retained
Information is used to operate and secure the site, respond to messages, correct content, understand site performance and support advertising when enabled. We retain information only as reasonably needed for those purposes, legal obligations, dispute resolution and security.
Your choices
You can use browser controls to limit or delete cookies and use any consent controls presented on the site. Blocking some technologies may affect embedded maps, live data or other third-party features. You may contact us about information you submitted directly.
Children
Southeast Coast is a general-audience travel site and is not designed to collect personal information from children. Please do not submit a child's personal information through email.
Policy changes
We may update this policy as the site, providers or legal requirements change. The date at the top identifies the latest published version.
