We only load analytics cookies (Google Analytics) after you click "Accept" on our cookie banner. If you decline, no analytics cookies are set. You can change your choice at any time by clearing your browser storage for this site.

4. Third-party services

We use trusted third parties that may process some data: Google Analytics (usage stats), FormSubmit (delivers our contact form to our email), Google Maps (embedded map), WhatsApp / Meta (when you message us) and Google Fonts. Each has its own privacy policy.

If you are in the EU/EEA or Switzerland, you have the right to access, correct, delete or object to the processing of your data, and to data portability. To exercise any of these, email us at paul@indiosurfschool.com.
