We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy describes what data we collect, why we collect it, and how you can manage your information.
Information We Collect
Camera Footage
Our surf camera records beach and ocean conditions. While the primary purpose is capturing wave and weather conditions, beachgoers may incidentally appear in the footage. We do not intentionally capture or identify individuals, and we actively work to minimize the capture of identifiable features.
