If you give us your mobile number and agree to receive texts, we use it to reply to your quote request, send booking and payment reminders, share arrival information, check on you during your stay and, if you opt in, send special offers. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out or HELP for help at any time.
We do not sell, rent or share your mobile phone number or your text-message opt-in data and consent with any third parties or affiliates for their marketing or promotional purposes. Text-messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties, except service providers that send messages on our behalf.
How we share information
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with:
- Service providers that help us run our business, such as our customer messaging platform (GoHighLevel), payment processor (Stripe), email and text providers, website hosting, and Google and Meta analytics. They may use your information only to provide services to us.
- Tidewater Beach Resort and its association, for required guest registration, parking passes and wristbands.
- Authorities, when required by law, or to protect the safety of guests, our homes or others.
We do not share your information with third parties for their own marketing.

Sensitive information
We do not collect or sell sensitive personal data, such as precise location, health, biometric or financial account data, for advertising.
How we protect and keep information
We use reasonable safeguards, such as secure (HTTPS) forms and trusted service providers. No system is perfectly secure. We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes above and our legal obligations, then delete it or make it anonymous.
