Swift Aquatics uses information you provide to run the catalog, respond to requests, and, when checkout opens, process and fulfill orders. This page describes the site’s current catalog and the services that are being connected.
Cart and browsing
An essential browser cookie links your cart to stored items so the bag persists between visits. It does not contain your card details. You can clear browser storage to remove that link. The server also keeps limited security and operational records needed to protect the service and investigate errors.
Messages and accounts
When online forms are available, inquiry details are stored for the yard and used to respond to you. These can include your name, email, phone, message, and business or location details for wholesale requests. Account sign-in verifies your email with a one-time code. Admin access has additional authentication.
Order records, saved addresses, rewards history, subscriptions, and submitted reviews belong to the account associated with the verified email address. Account access requires sign-in; knowing an email address alone does not grant access.
Service providers
Resend handles transactional email when connected. Cloudflare Turnstile verifies public form requests when connected. Twilio handles texts only when the relevant service is configured; customer shipping texts require an explicit opt-in. These providers receive the information needed for their specific function.
When payment checkout opens, Square handles payment card entry directly. Swift Aquatics stores payment references and limited card summary information, such as brand and last four digits, rather than full card numbers. A connected tax provider uses address and order details to calculate applicable tax.
Optional analytics
Google Analytics, when configured, remains off unless you allow optional analytics. It helps the yard understand page use and commerce activity. Account, admin, and private order pages are excluded from ordinary public analytics. Payment card details, passwords, and sign-in codes are never sent to analytics.
Photos and reviews
Only verified buyers can submit reviews for shipped purchases. Reviews are moderated before publication. Uploaded review images are re-encoded and location metadata is removed. A published review and its photos are visible to visitors.
Alerts and texts
Stock and driftwood drop alerts require email confirmation. Each alert includes a way to unsubscribe. Shipping text consent is separate from email and can be withdrawn. The site does not run abandoned-cart messages or an email newsletter.
Your choices
You can review account information, addresses, subscriptions, and reviews after signing in. An account deletion request removes or anonymizes profile information where appropriate; records needed for transactions, fraud prevention, or applicable retention requirements may remain. Contact the yard to ask about information connected to your email.
Security
The site uses HTTPS, restricted administration, database sessions, validation, and access controls. No method of transmission or storage is a guarantee against every risk. Do not send full payment card numbers, passwords, or one-time codes in a contact message.
