Privacy Policy

Website visitors

When you browse alpinemar.com we collect limited operational information: page URL, referrer, browser user-agent, IP address, and time of visit, retained in standard web-server logs for up to 90 days for security and performance monitoring.

We use small amounts of browser storage (localStorage / sessionStorage) for functional purposes only — remembering whether you have dismissed the deadline ticker and similar UI state. We do not place advertising cookies or share browsing data with third-party advertisers.

If you submit a contact form, we collect the information you provide (name, email, phone, message) and use it solely to respond to your inquiry. Submitted contact-form data is retained for up to 24 months for follow-up purposes; you may request deletion at any time.

Your rights

Depending on where you reside, you may have rights to access, correct, port, or delete the personal information we hold about you, and to opt out of certain processing. California, Florida, and EU/UK residents have specific statutory rights under CCPA/CPRA, the Florida Digital Bill of Rights, and GDPR/UK GDPR respectively.

We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising under CCPA, and we do not engage in targeted advertising under the Florida Digital Bill of Rights.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We respond to verifiable requests within the timeframes required by applicable law (45 days under CCPA, one month under GDPR).
