3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies. 

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to keep the site working properly, remember your preferences, and help us understand the traffic and performance.

4. Third-Party Data Sharing & E-Commerce Vendors. 

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.

  • Website & Hosting Platforms.

  • Our website is hosted on Wix, which collects operational data to keep our site running smoothly and securely.

  • Digital Galleries & E-Commerce: We use third-party online gallery vendors (such as Lemon Sqeezy and Fourthwall) to deliver your high-resolution images and videos and to allow you to purchase print and branded merchandise products.

  • Payment Processors: All financial transactions are handled securely by third-party payment gateways provided by our gallery vendors. We do not store or retain your credit card numbers on our servers.

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including satisfying any legal, accounting, or client-delivery requirements (such as maintaining archive backups of your event images). We implement industry-standard security measures, including SSL encryption provided natively by Wix, to protect your data. However, please note that no transmission over the internet can be guaranteed 100% secure.

To exercise these right, contact us using the details below and we'll respond as required by law.

Do Not Track (DNT) Disclosure

California Do Not Track Disclosures. Under the California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA), we are required to disclose how our website responds to "Do Not Track" (DNT) signals.

​

Please note that Surfgnar Vision Works does not currently alter its behavior, change its practices, or respond to automated browser "Do Not Track" signals, as a uniform technological standard for analyzing these signals has not yet been universally adopted. However, you can manage your data and cookie choices directly at any time by interacting with the Cookie Settings panel accessible on our website..

 

While we do not track visitors across third-party websites over time in response to traditional DNT signals, our platform does recognize and respect modern Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals to automatically opt you out of non-essential tracking cookies."
