What we collect
Order information. When you place an order, we collect information such as your name, email address, telephone number, billing and shipping address, order details and the specifications selected for your board. We use this information to manufacture your board, process and fulfil your order, arrange collection or delivery, maintain your account, provide warranty and repair services and communicate with you about your order.
Payment information. Card payments are processed by Stripe. Offshore does not receive or store your full payment card details.
Account information. If you create an Offshore account, we store information associated with your account, orders and build history so you can follow your board, view photographs and access your records.
Technical information. When you use the website, we may collect technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device information, referring pages, pages visited and the date and time of access. We use this information to operate, secure and understand the performance of the website.
Contact information. If you email us, submit a form, make a warranty claim or contact us about a product, we collect the information you provide so we can respond to your request.
