Privacy Policy

Last updated: December 2025

SurfBoss AI (“we”, “us”, “our”) provides surf reports and surf forecasts for Australian locations. This page explains how we handle information when you use surfboss.app.

1. What we collect

SurfBoss AI does not require you to create an account or provide your name, email address, or other personal details to use the site. The main data we handle is:

• Location names you type into the search box (e.g. “Snapper Rocks”, “Bells Beach”).
• Standard technical logs from our hosting platform (e.g. IP address, browser type, pages viewed).

2. Cookies and Google AdSense

SurfBoss AI uses Google AdSense to display advertising. Google may use cookies or similar technologies to:

• Serve and measure personalised and non-personalised ads.
• Detect fraud and abuse.
• Improve the performance of the advertising network.

These cookies may allow Google and its partners to collect or receive information from your browser, including your IP address and basic device information, to show ads that are more relevant to you.

You can manage or opt out of personalised advertising using Google’s Ads Settings: https://adssettings.google.com .

3. Third-party APIs and data sources

SurfBoss AI uses third-party APIs (for example, Open-Meteo marine and weather APIs) to fetch model data such as wave height, swell period, wind, tides and related information. We send your chosen location (e.g. latitude, longitude or place name) to these services to retrieve the forecast. We do not send your identity, account information, or contact details because we do not collect them.

4. Analytics

From time to time we may use basic, privacy-respecting analytics or our hosting provider’s built-in statistics to understand overall traffic (for example, number of visits per day or popular pages). This data is viewed in aggregate and is not used to personally identify individual visitors.

5. Data retention

We do not maintain individual user profiles. Any logs kept by our hosting platform or advertising providers are retained according to their own policies and are generally used for security, performance, and reporting.

6. Children

SurfBoss AI is a general-audience site and is not specifically directed at children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information through this site, you can contact us so we can address it.

7. Links to other sites

Our site may link to external websites (for example, webcams, surf reports, or documentation). We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those third-party sites.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally to reflect changes to the site, advertising providers or legal requirements. The “Last updated” date at the top will indicate when it was most recently revised.

9. Contact

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or how we handle data, you can contact the site owner:
