Privacy Policy

Why is this policy so short?

Because the site does very little. It is a set of static pages about fishing charters, with no database, no login and no basket. The one thing you can send it is the contact form, and only if you choose to.

A longer policy would mean describing data handling that does not happen. That is misleading in the direction that flatters — it makes a small site look substantial and it is false.

No accounts, and one optional form

You cannot create an account on Fishing Charters Homer, because there is no account system. There are no comment boxes, quote requests or mailing-list sign-ups anywhere.

The contact form, on the contact page. It asks for your name, your email address, an optional topic and your message. What you type is sent to the customer system used to answer it, and to nothing else. There is no hidden field and no newsletter checkbox. Not filling it in costs you nothing: the email address beside it reaches the same inbox.

It is not connected yet. The plumbing behind it is unfinished, so a submission today is not delivered anywhere at all. The form says so when that happens and gives you the email address instead. This paragraph goes when the delivery is real.

The charter calculator on the home page asks five questions about your trip and shows you the whole result without asking who you are. Your answers stay in your browser and are sent nowhere.

If you email the address on the contact page, that email arrives in an inbox and is kept for as long as it is useful. It is used to reply to you and to fix whatever you wrote in about. It is not added to a list, not sold and not shared.

No cookies

This site sets none. That is why you are not looking at a consent banner — there is nothing to consent to.

Your browser may store ordinary cache files for pages and images. That is your browser's own behaviour and is cleared however you normally clear it.

No analytics and no third-party scripts

There is no Google Analytics here, no tag manager, no pixel, no heatmap, no session recording and no advertising network.

There is also no chat widget. Nothing on these pages loads code from another company's servers, which means no third party receives a request from your browser when you read this site.

For a long time the only script in the build was an inert block of structured data. That changed when the charter calculator was added: the home page now carries one small script, written here and served from here, which steps through the questions and totals your answers.

It runs entirely in your browser. It sets no cookie, stores nothing between visits, and makes no request anywhere. Every other page on the site still carries no script but the structured-data block.

The fonts are served from here, and once were not

Typefaces are an easy way for a site to leak visitors without meaning to. Loading them from a font service means the browser fetches them from that company on every page, handing over an IP address, a user-agent string and the address of the page being read.

This site did exactly that until recently. The sentence above about no third party receiving a request was false for as long as it lasted. The font files now sit on this site and are served from this domain, which is what makes that sentence true rather than aspirational.

Booking links go to FareHarbor

The availability buttons on operator listings go to that operator’s booking page on FareHarbor, not to their own website. Following one takes you to FareHarbor, and from that point you are on their site under their privacy policy, the same as any other outbound link.

This site sets no cookie and attaches no identifier to you. It does not learn whether you booked, what you paid, or who you are. The commission is worked out on FareHarbor’s side from the link the click arrived on, which carries this site’s affiliate tag, not from anything recorded about you here.

What FareHarbor records when you arrive is theirs to describe, and booking a trip means giving them your name, contact details and payment. That has always been true of booking a charter. It is stated here because the link now earns this site money, which is a reason to be more explicit rather than less.

Server logs

Like essentially every website, the server delivering these pages keeps standard access logs. Those typically record an IP address, the page requested, a timestamp and the browser's user-agent string.

They exist so the host can run and secure the server. They are not used to build a profile of you and are not connected to anything else.

Links to other sites

This site links to charter operators and government agencies. Once you follow a link you are on their site under their rules, and their privacy practices are theirs rather than ours.

Children

This site collects nothing from anybody, which includes children. There is no mechanism here through which a child could submit anything.

Your rights, and why there is little to exercise them on

Privacy law gives you rights to access, correct and delete personal data held about you. This site holds none, so in practice there is nothing to request.

If you have emailed us, that email exists and you can ask for it to be deleted. Write to the address on the contact page and it will be.
