Privacy policy

How Free Diving Marine Safaris CC, trading as Offshore Adventures, handles your personal information.

What this website collects

Enquiry and quotation forms

When you send a form on this website, we receive what you typed into it: usually your name, your email address, a phone number if you give one, and your message. The form is delivered to the Offshore Adventures office by email and is used to answer you. It is not stored on this website.

Jet-ski licence exam

The Temporary Restricted Skippers Exam asks for your ID number and a copy of your ID. These are needed for the temporary skipper's licence, are sent to the office by email, and are used for that purpose only.

Bookings and payments

Trips are booked on our booking system, Activitar, and card payments are processed by PayGenius. Your booking details are entered on the booking pages and your card details on the secure payment page, not on this website. Both services handle that information under their own privacy policies.

Cookies and tracking

This website does not set advertising or analytics cookies. If that changes, this page will be updated first.

Videos and links to other services

Our films are hosted on YouTube. A film only loads when you press play, and it uses YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode. Once it plays, YouTube may set cookies and collect information under its own policy. Links to WhatsApp, Google Maps, our trip photo folder on Google Drive, Tripadvisor and social networks take you to those services, which have their own privacy policies.
