Website forms are sent to the YachtVips inbox using the website’s email delivery system. Depending on the hosting and email provider, submitted information may pass through the website server, email delivery provider and receiving mailbox provider.

The website may store a private administrative backup of form submissions in the hosting environment. This backup is intended only for internal recordkeeping and should not be publicly accessible.

This base website does not require advertising cookies to function. If analytics, pixels, embedded media, social widgets or advertising tools are added later, this privacy policy should be updated and, where required, a consent banner should be added.

7. External links

The website may link to external websites such as Instagram, partner websites, yacht companies, destination resources or media platforms. YachtVips is not responsible for the privacy practices of external websites.

8. Legal basis and legitimate interest

Where applicable, processing may be based on user consent, pre-contractual communication, contractual necessity, legal obligations or legitimate interest in operating a secure, functional and commercially useful website.

9. Data sharing

We do not sell personal information. Information may be shared only when necessary to respond to a request, operate the website, provide email delivery, comply with legal obligations or work with relevant partners in connection with a user’s inquiry.

10. Data retention

Submitted inquiries may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to answer the request, manage business communication, maintain records and protect against misuse. Users may request deletion where legally applicable.

Reasonable technical and organizational measures should be used to protect submitted information. This includes secure hosting, HTTPS, protected storage folders, strong email credentials and restricted admin access.

12. Your rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have the right to request access, correction, deletion, restriction of processing or a copy of your personal information. You may also object to certain processing or withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

This privacy policy may be updated when the website, forms, newsletter setup, analytics tools, hosting or legal requirements change.
