Effective date: October 7, 2026. Last updated: October 7, 2026.
She Drives is operated by She Drives Training LLC, a California limited liability company. Our website address is https://shedrivesofficial.com.
If you have questions about this policy or about how we handle your information, contact us at renee@shedrivesofficial.com.
This policy explains what information we collect when you visit our website, submit a form, or communicate with us, and what we do with it.
It does not cover information you provide to third-party services we link to, including our community platform, which is operated by Skool. When you leave our website for another service, that service's own privacy policy governs the information you give them.
Like most websites, our web server and the services embedded in our pages receive certain information automatically when you load a page. This includes:
We collect information you choose to submit through forms on our website or by emailing us.
If you apply to join our captain network, we collect the information you provide in the application, which may include your name, email address, phone number, city and state, the type of mariner credential you hold, your credential number and expiration date, whether you carry professional liability insurance, information about where and how you teach, and any background information you choose to share.
If you join a customer waitlist or request information about training, we collect the information you provide, which may include your first name, email address, city and state, whether you have access to a boat, and any comments you choose to share about your goals or concerns on the water.
If you book a lesson, we ask you to sign a lesson agreement electronically before your lesson. When you sign, we collect your full legal name, email address, phone number, mailing address, the date, the state where your lesson takes place, and whose boat the lesson is on. We also record the time of signing, your browser type, and the exact version of the agreement you signed, and we keep a signed copy of the agreement.
If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you include in your message.
When booking becomes available, payments are processed by Stripe. We do not collect or store your full payment card number. Stripe receives that information directly and processes it under its own privacy policy, available at https://stripe.com/privacy. We receive limited transaction information from Stripe, such as confirmation that a payment succeeded, the amount, and the last four digits of the card.
We do not knowingly collect precise geolocation data, biometric information, government identification numbers other than the mariner credential information captains voluntarily provide in their applications, or information about your race, religion, health, or sexual orientation.
We use the information we collect to:
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.
We share information only in the circumstances described below.
She Drives operates as a marketplace. The captains in our network are independent contractors, not employees or staff of She Drives. When you book or request a session, we share the information necessary to arrange it with the specific captain involved, which typically includes your name, contact information, location, and what you have told us about your goals and experience level. Each captain is responsible for her own handling of that information.
We use third-party services to operate the website and the business. Each receives only the information needed to perform its function:
| Service | Purpose | Their privacy policy |
|---|---|---|
| GoDaddy | Website hosting | https://www.godaddy.com/legal/agreements/privacy-policy |
| Google (Tag Manager, Analytics, Fonts) | Website analytics and typography | https://policies.google.com/privacy |
| Meta (Meta Pixel) | Measuring visits from our Facebook and Instagram activity | https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy/ |
| Stripe | Payment processing | https://stripe.com/privacy |
| Google Workspace (Gmail, Drive, Sheets, Apps Script) | Email, internal records, and signed lesson agreements | https://policies.google.com/privacy |
| Automattic (Gravatar) | Profile images, where applicable | https://automattic.com/privacy/ |
| Skool | Community platform, hosted separately | https://www.skool.com/privacy |
We may disclose information if we are required to by law, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our legal rights, investigate fraud, or respond to a claim.
If She Drives Training LLC is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, information we hold may be transferred as part of that transaction. We would notify you before your information became subject to a different privacy policy.
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies. Cookies are small files stored on your device.
We use them to keep the site functioning correctly and, through Google Tag Manager, to run Google Analytics and the Meta Pixel, which help us understand how visitors find and use the site.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you refuse cookies or delete existing ones. Some parts of the site may not work as expected if you disable them.
We currently do not respond to browser Do Not Track signals, because no common standard for interpreting them has been adopted.
We keep information for as long as we need it for the purposes described in this policy, and afterward as required for legal, tax, or record-keeping reasons.
In practice:
Depending on where you live, you may have rights over the personal information we hold about you. We extend the following rights to everyone who contacts us, regardless of your state of residence.
You may ask us to:
We do not sell personal information and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, so there is nothing to opt out of on that front. If that ever changes, this policy will be updated before it does.
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights. Making a request will not affect your ability to book a session, join the community, or apply as a captain.
Email renee@shedrivesofficial.com with the subject line "Privacy Request."
We will confirm receipt within ten business days and respond substantively within forty-five days. If we need more time, we will tell you why and how much longer we expect to take.
We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request, usually by confirming that you control the email address associated with the information. If someone is making a request on your behalf, we will ask for proof that you authorized them.
Our services are intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18.
If you believe a minor has provided us with personal information, contact us at renee@shedrivesofficial.com and we will delete it.
We use commercially reasonable measures to protect the information we hold, including encrypted connections to our website and access controls on our internal records.
No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Our website links to services we do not control, including our community platform on Skool and the websites of independent captains and partners. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. We encourage you to read their policies before providing information to them.
We may update this policy as our business and our services change. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
If we make a change that materially affects how we handle information we already hold about you, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you directly.
