Last updated: January 2026
Information we collect
We collect information you provide directly, such as your name, email address, phone number, and message when you contact WaveHelm. We also receive limited technical information, including browser type, device type, approximate location, referring page, and pages viewed.
Information from forms and correspondence
When you submit a question, request an advisory call, or ask about a guide, we use the details you provide to respond and maintain a record of the conversation. Please do not submit sensitive financial, medical, or identity documents through a general contact form.
How we use information
WaveHelm uses information to provide requested resources, answer inquiries, improve the clarity and usefulness of our guides, prevent misuse, and maintain site security. We do not use contact details to make decisions about your eligibility for credit, insurance, financing, or employment.
Cookies and similar technologies
We use essential cookies to remember your cookie choice and support core site functions. If you allow optional categories, we may use analytics or preference technologies as described in our Cookie Policy.
Sharing and service providers
We may share information with vendors that host the site, deliver email, provide analytics, or support forms, but only as reasonably necessary for those services. We do not sell personal information or share it with boat dealers for their independent marketing lists.
Retention and security
We keep correspondence for as long as needed to respond, maintain business records, resolve disputes, and meet legal obligations. We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards, although no internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.
Children's privacy
WaveHelm is intended for adults researching recreational boating. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13, and we ask that a parent or guardian contact us if a child has submitted information.
Your choices and rights
You may ask us to access, correct, delete, or explain our use of personal information by emailing hello@wavehelm.com. You may also withdraw optional cookie consent through your browser controls or by clearing the WaveHelm cookie-choice entry.
