Privacy Policy

Southern Ocean Sports runs this website and the dive shop at 1607 N Ashley St, Valdosta, GA 31602. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit our site or get in touch, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Information you give us. When you fill out our contact form, email us, or call us about gear, fills, classes, or trips, we may collect your name, email address, phone number, and the contents of your message.

Information collected automatically. When you visit our site, our website platform (Wix) and analytics tools may collect your IP address, browser and device type, the pages you view, and the site that referred you. This is done with cookies and similar technologies.

We use your information to:
- Answer your questions and messages
- Set up the classes, trips, and services you ask about
- Keep our website working, secure, and easy to use
- Understand how visitors use our site so we can improve it
- Send updates about classes or trips, only if you've asked us to

​

Our site uses cookies to remember your preferences and to measure traffic. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, though some parts of the site may not work as well without them.

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with service providers that help us run the site and the business, such as our website host (Wix), map and analytics providers (such as Google), and our email provider, and only as needed for those services. We may also share information if the law requires it.

Our site includes links and embedded content from other companies, such as Google Maps, Facebook, and Instagram, and may link to certification agency websites. Those sites have their own privacy practices, and we are not responsible for them.

We keep your information only as long as we need it to answer your inquiry, provide the services you asked for, or meet legal and record-keeping requirements.

We take reasonable steps to protect your information. No website or method of transmission is completely secure, so we can't guarantee absolute security.

You can ask us to see, correct, or delete the personal information we have about you by contacting us using the details below. If you've signed up for updates, you can ask us to stop at any time.

This website is meant for adults, including parents and guardians of young divers. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13. If you believe a child has given us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the new version on this page and change the "last updated" date above.
