Marine Specialty is a boat dealership and service shop at 275 KS-232, Wilson, KS 67490. This page explains what personal information we collect, what we do with it, and how you can control the messages you get from us.
What information we collect
We collect the information you give us. That happens when you fill out the contact form, request a quote on a boat, submit the trade-in valuation tool, ask for a service appointment, call the shop at 785-658-3626, send an email, or talk to us in person.
Depending on what you’re doing, that information can include your name, your email address, your phone number, how you’d prefer to be contacted, and whatever you write in the message field. If you’re asking about a specific boat, we also see which listing you were looking at. Service and repair requests can include details about your boat, motor, or trailer.
Our website also collects basic technical information automatically through cookies and analytics tools, including Google Analytics. That covers things like your browser type, the pages you visit, and how you got to the site. It isn’t tied to your name.
If you apply for financing, that application is handled by the lender, not by us. The lender’s own privacy policy governs what happens to the information you submit to them.
How we use your information
We use what you give us to answer your question, quote a boat, schedule a service appointment, order a part, follow up on a repair, and keep you posted on the status of work in progress.
We also use it to send you information you asked for, like promotions, service reminders, or availability on a boat you were watching. Website analytics help us see which pages people actually use so we can fix the ones that don’t work.
We don’t sell your personal information.
How we share information
We share personal information only with the companies that help us run the business, and only so they can do that work. That covers our website host, our email and text messaging providers, and payment processors. Those companies can use your information to perform services for us, and nothing else.
We may also disclose information when the law requires it, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of our customers, our staff, or the business.
Mobile information will not be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. All of the above categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent. This information will not be shared with any third parties.
SMS text messaging terms
By giving Marine Specialty your mobile number and agreeing to receive text messages, you consent to get SMS messages from Marine Specialty at the number you gave us. Consent to receive texts isn’t a condition of buying anything from us.
What kinds of messages you’ll get
Texts from Marine Specialty cover things like:
- Answers to a question you sent through the website, by phone, or in person.
- Appointment confirmations and reminders for service or a test ride.
- Status updates on a repair, including when parts arrive and when your boat is ready to pick up.
- Quotes, pricing, and availability on a boat or part you asked about.
- Occasional promotions, sale events, and seasonal service reminders, if you opted in to those.
How to stop receiving texts
Reply STOP to any message from us and we’ll remove your number. You’ll get one confirmation text back, and after that we won’t send you any more. You can also call the shop at 785-658-3626 or email [email protected] and ask us to remove you.
If you change your mind later, text START to the same number or just ask us and we’ll add you back.
How to get help
Reply HELP to any message from us for support information. You can also reach the shop at 785-658-3626 during business hours, or email [email protected].
Message frequency and cost
Message frequency may vary and depends on what you’re talking to us about. A repair in progress means more messages than a general question.
As always, message and data rates may apply for any messages sent to you from us and to us from you. Message frequency may vary. If you have any questions about your text plan or data plan, it is best to contact your wireless provider.
Carriers aren’t liable for delays or undelivered messages
Mobile carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. We can’t guarantee that every message reaches you, and we’re not responsible for delivery problems caused by your carrier, your device, or your service area.
Supported carriers
Text messaging is supported on most major U.S. carriers. Availability can change, and carriers may add or drop support without notice.
Privacy of your mobile number
Your mobile number and your text messaging consent stay with Marine Specialty. We don’t share them with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. See the “how we share information” section above for the full statement.
Cookies and analytics
Our site uses cookies and Google Tag Manager to see how people move through the pages. You can turn cookies off in your browser settings. Some parts of the site may not work right if you do.
Keeping your information secure
We take reasonable steps to protect the information you send us. No website or email system is completely secure, so please don’t send sensitive material like a Social Security number or a bank account number through the contact form. Call the shop instead.
Children
This website isn’t directed at children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect personal information from them. If you think a child has given us information, call 785-658-3626 and we’ll delete it.
Your choices
You can ask us what information we have about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Call 785-658-3626 or email [email protected].
To stop text messages, reply STOP. To stop marketing emails, use the unsubscribe link at the bottom of the email. Either way, we may still contact you about a repair or a purchase already in progress.
