Look, we’re a website about beach bars. Our data ambitions are not exactly “big tech” level. But we believe in being upfront, so here’s exactly what we collect, what we do with it, and why. Spoiler: it’s not much.
Best Beach Bars (bestbeachbars.com) is an independent website dedicated to reviewing and cataloging the world’s finest beach bars. We are operated by a small team with a very large love of ocean views and cold drinks.
If you have any questions about this policy, you can reach us at: hello@bestbeachbars.com
We collect information in two ways — stuff you give us directly, and stuff that gets collected automatically when you visit.
Information you provide:
Information collected automatically:
We do not collect payment information — we don’t sell anything directly on this site.
Simply put, we use your information to run the site and occasionally send you good stuff about beach bars. Specifically:
We will never sell your email address or personal information to third parties. We are a beach bar review site, not a data broker.
We use cookies — the digital kind, unfortunately. These small files help us understand site traffic and improve your experience. We use:
You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time, though some features of the site may not work as intended if you do.
Our site contains links to beach bars, hotels, booking platforms, and other external sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites — once you click away, their own privacy policies apply. Choose your beach bar wisely.
We may use third-party tools such as Google Analytics to help us understand our traffic. These services have their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review.
We take reasonable precautions to protect your information from unauthorized access or disclosure. Our site uses HTTPS encryption, and we limit access to any personal data to only those who need it to operate the site.
That said, no method of internet transmission is 100% secure. We can’t guarantee absolute security, but we do our best — which, in our defense, is pretty good.
If you subscribe to our newsletter, we’ll occasionally email you with new reviews, recommendations, and the occasional rambling from the Beach Bar Bum. You can unsubscribe at any time via the link in any email we send — no hard feelings, no guilt trips.
Depending on where you live, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data, including the right to access, correct, or delete information we hold about you. To exercise any of these rights, just email us at hello@bestbeachbars.com and we’ll sort it out.
We honor requests from residents of the EU (under GDPR), California (under CCPA), and anywhere else sensible privacy laws apply.
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we’ll update the “last updated” date at the top. If anything major changes, we’ll make a note of it — but honestly, we’re not anticipating a dramatic pivot to selling your data anytime soon.
Questions? Drop us a line at hello@bestbeachbars.com. We read every email, usually from somewhere with a decent ocean view.
