Privacy Policy

Updated: October 30, 2026

This policy explains how Surf Fish Any Beach, a Leo Parks Publishing website, handles information when you browse the site or contact us.

Information you choose to send

The contact form requests your name, email address, subject and message. We use those details to respond, handle your request and prevent misuse. Please do not submit payment details, passwords, health information or other sensitive personal information.

The free surf-fishing course can be read without an account or email signup. Contacting us does not enroll you in a mailing list. We will not publish your message, photographs or personal contact details without your permission.

Technical information and service providers

Our hosting, website and security services may process information such as IP addresses, browser details, requested pages and error or access logs to deliver the site, troubleshoot problems and reduce abuse. Providers that handle hosting, security or message delivery may process information needed to perform those functions.

The site uses Google reCAPTCHA for spam protection. Google may process device and usage information in connection with that service. See Google’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

Brevo is configured for website email delivery, but regular sending through it is currently paused pending activation. When used for message delivery or testing, Brevo processes sender and recipient addresses, message content and delivery information needed to provide that service. See Brevo’s Privacy Policy. Contacting us does not add you to a Brevo marketing list.

Cookies, embedded media and outside links

WordPress and security tools may use cookies or similar technology for essential functions. Embedded videos and other third-party content may connect to the provider and process information under that provider’s policies. Opening Amazon or another external link takes you to a separate service with its own privacy practices. You can manage cookies through your browser; blocking them may affect some features.

Book purchases and affiliate links

This site’s former book checkout is closed. Purchase links for the updated edition will be added when it is available on Amazon. Purchases through an external retailer are handled by that retailer. Some existing equipment links are affiliate links; see our Disclaimer and Disclosures.

Retention, requests and children

Messages and technical records are kept for responding to requests, operating and protecting the site, and meeting applicable obligations. Retention depends on the record and the service involved; we do not promise a fixed deletion period or absolute security.

Use the contact form to ask about information you have supplied or to request a correction or deletion. Requests are subject to identity verification, applicable law and records we need to retain. This site is intended for a general audience, not children under 13. A parent or guardian can contact us about information a child may have submitted.

Changes and contact

We will update this page when practices change. For privacy questions, contact Leo Parks through the form.
