1. Information we collect

  • Booking details: your name, email, phone number, delivery address and unit, rental dates, cart choice, any coupon code, delivery notes and how you heard about us.

  • Contact form messages: your name, email, phone number and message.
  • Payment cards: card payments are handled by Stripe. We never see your full card number; we only see the card brand, last 4 digits and expiry date.
  • Text messages: only if you opt in (see Text messaging below), including your replies and opt-out requests.
  • Technical data and analytics: pages viewed, device and browser type, approximate location and similar usage data, collected through Google Analytics.

3. Text messaging (SMS)

  • We only text you if you opt in, for example by checking the SMS box when you book. Consent is obtained when you opt in, and is not a condition of booking or buying anything. The box reads: “Text me booking and delivery updates. Msg frequency varies, msg & data rates may apply, reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help. Consent not required to book.”
  • Messages are about your rental: booking confirmations, delivery and pickup updates, waiver reminders, and replies to your questions.
  • Message frequency varies.
  • Message and data rates may apply.
  • Reply STOP to opt out at any time; you'll get one confirmation message and then no more texts. Reply HELP for help, or call (904) 298-7236 or email office@tidalwavegolfcarts.com.
  • Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
  • No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text messaging opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties, except the providers that deliver the messages for us, and only for that purpose.

4. Service providers we use

5. Cookies

We use cookies and similar browser storage to make the site work (for example, remembering that you dismissed our cookie notice or a promotion, and your accessibility-tool settings) and to understand how the site is used through Google Analytics.

Our cookie notice tells you that we use cookies; it does not turn them off. To block or delete cookies, use your browser's settings. Blocking all cookies may stop parts of the site, such as online booking, from working. You can also opt out of Google Analytics with Google's browser add-on.

7. Your choices and rights

  • Ask to see, correct or delete the personal information we hold about you (unless we're legally required to keep it).
  • Opt out of emails by using the unsubscribe link where one is included, or by contacting us.
  • Opt out of texts at any time by replying STOP.
