Privacy Policy
Effective Date: July 31, 2026 · Last Updated: October 19, 2026
Beach Valet ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your personal data when you use the Beach Valet mobile application and related services.
Account Information
Booking Information
Payment Information
Payments are processed securely by Stripe. We do not store or have access to your credit card number, CVV, or full card details. We retain only the transaction amount, tip, and a reference ID provided by Stripe.
Location Information (Workers Only)
Workers using the Beach Valet app may manually drop a GPS pin to indicate the beach setup location for a service job. This location is used solely to coordinate service delivery and is not collected continuously or in the background.
Device Information
We collect a push notification token from your device to send you booking confirmations and real-time service status updates. This token is not used for advertising.
We do not sell your personal information. We share data only as necessary to provide our services:
We may disclose information if required by law or to protect the safety of our users.
On our website (beachvaletservices.com), we use Meta’s advertising tools, the Meta Pixel and the Meta Conversions API, to measure whether our Facebook and Instagram ads lead to visits and bookings. Our iOS and Android apps do not use these tools.
When it applies. These tools only run on our website if you choose “Allow” in our privacy choices banner. They stay off if you choose “Don’t allow,” and they always stay off if your browser sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. We treat a GPC signal as a request to opt out.
What is shared with Meta. The pages you view on our website; that you started checkout; and, after Stripe confirms your payment, that a booking or grocery reservation was completed, with the amount paid in U.S. dollars. Technical information is also shared: your IP address, browser type, and Meta’s own browser cookie identifiers (_fbp and _fbc).
What is never shared with Meta. Your name, email address, phone number, property address, condo or unit number, gate code, gear description, grocery list, notes, or any card or payment details. We do not send hashed (scrambled) versions of your email or phone either.
Meta processes this information under its own Privacy Policy and may use it to measure and improve ads, including ads shown to you. We do not sell your personal information for money.
Change your choice at any time using the “Your Privacy Choices” link at the bottom of our web pages, or this button. Your choice is saved in this browser.
You can also manage how Meta uses information for ads in your Facebook or Instagram ad settings.
When you apply through our Work With Beach Valet page, we collect your name, email, mobile number, optional city or ZIP, preferred and additional service areas, transportation and vehicle type, whether you can lift and carry beach gear, the experience and availability you share, your optional start date and how you heard about us, your age group (18 or older, or 16 or 17), and your agreement to be contacted. To prevent spam we also store a one-way scrambled code derived from your internet connection, not your IP address itself.
Applicants who are 16 or 17. Applicants must be at least 16. If you are 16 or 17, we also collect your date of birth, school status and your parent or guardian's name, relationship to you, mobile number and email, and your confirmation that they know you are applying. We use these details only to confirm you are eligible, to contact your parent or guardian about your application, and to follow Florida rules for workers under 18. Before approval we review proof of age, and as Florida law requires we keep a copy on file for as long as you work with us. A parent or guardian may contact us at any time to ask about, correct or delete their teen's application.
We use this information only to review your application, contact you about it by phone, text or email, schedule an interview and photo ID check, and, if you are approved, send you a private invitation to the Beach Valet Worker app. Applicant information is visible only to Beach Valet's authorized admin team, is stored in our access-restricted database encrypted in transit and at rest, and is never sold, shared for advertising or used for marketing. The application page does not load advertising or analytics trackers. We do not collect Social Security numbers, bank details or driver's license numbers through the application form, and we ask for a date of birth only from applicants who are 16 or 17; payout details are entered directly with our payment processor, Stripe, only after you join.
Onboarding documents. If you are approved, your private onboarding page asks you to upload a photo of your government or school ID and a completed IRS Form W-9, which includes your Social Security number or taxpayer ID. We use your ID only to confirm your identity and age, and your W-9 only to meet our tax reporting duties, such as issuing a Form 1099-NEC. These files are stored in a private, encrypted storage area that is never public, are never sent by email, and can be opened only by Beach Valet's authorized admin team through short-lived links, with every view logged. They are deleted with your application, and if you join, we keep your W-9 for as long as tax law requires (generally four years after the last tax year you worked with us).
If you do not join the team, we delete your application 12 months after its last update. If you join, your application is kept as part of your worker record. You may ask to access, correct or delete your application at any time by emailing hello@beachvaletservices.com. Submitting an application does not create an account or guarantee work.
We retain your account and booking information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us.
We use industry-standard security measures including encrypted connections (HTTPS), secure authentication, and access controls to protect your information. Passwords are hashed and are never stored or viewable in plain text.
Beach Valet is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Worker applicants must be at least 16; the extra information we collect from applicants who are 16 or 17 is described under Worker Applicants above. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.
You have the right to:
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the email below.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes through the app or by email. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
