Privacy Policy

Last Updated: October 7, 2026

At Yacht Watch, we are committed to protecting your privacy. This website (https://yacht-watch.es) is an informational platform where clients can learn about our marine refit and technical services. We do not offer user accounts, registration, or public commenting functions. The only interactive feature on our site is our inquiry and contact form.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard the information you provide when you reach out to us, in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) and Spain’s Organic Law 3/2018 on the Protection of Personal Data and Guarantee of Digital Rights (LOPDGDD).

1. Data Controller

2. Information We Collect and Why

Inquiry and Contact Form

When you submit an inquiry regarding your vessel or project, we collect the personal information you voluntarily provide. This typically includes:

  • Your name
  • Email address
  • Phone number
  • Details about your vessel and the required technical scope

We use this information exclusively to evaluate your project requirements, communicate with you, prepare quotes, and deliver our refit and technical services.

Contact by Phone, Email or WhatsApp

If you contact us directly by phone, email or WhatsApp, we use the information you share only to respond to your request. If you message us through WhatsApp, Instagram or Facebook, those platforms’ use of your data is governed by their own privacy policies.

Cookies

Because our website is strictly informational and does not feature user logins or comments, we do not use tracking, advertising or account-based cookies. We may use minimal technical cookies that are strictly necessary for the operation and performance of the website, which do not require consent under Spain’s Law 34/2002 (LSSI-CE).

We do not currently use analytics or marketing cookies. If we introduce them in the future, we will inform you and ask for your consent beforehand.

3. Legal Basis for Processing

  • Steps taken at your request before entering into a contract, and performance of a service contract where applicable (Art. 6.1.b GDPR), when you request a quote or service.
  • Legitimate interest (Art. 6.1.f GDPR) in responding to and managing enquiries received through our website.
  • Legal obligation (Art. 6.1.c GDPR), where we must retain certain information for tax, accounting or administrative reasons.

4. Who We Share Your Data With

We do not sell or trade your personal data. The information you submit via our inquiry form is handled internally by our technical team to prepare your quote and execute services.

We may use service providers who process data on our behalf, such as our website hosting and email providers, under data processing agreements. They process your data only on our instructions and only to provide those services to us.

We will only disclose your data to other third parties if required by law, for example to comply with valid legal processes or regulatory requirements in Spain.

5. International Transfers

Your data is generally processed within the European Economic Area. If any of our providers process data outside the EEA, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as a European Commission adequacy decision or standard contractual clauses.

6. How Long We Retain Your Data

If you submit an inquiry, we retain your contact information and project details for as long as necessary to handle your request. If the inquiry does not lead to a business relationship, we delete it no later than 24 months after our last contact. If a contract is concluded, we retain your data for the duration of the business relationship and afterwards for the periods required by applicable tax, accounting and commercial law.

7. Your Rights

Under the GDPR, you have the right to:

  • Access: request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
  • Rectification: request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
  • Erasure: request that we delete your personal data.
  • Restriction: request that we limit the processing of your data in certain circumstances.
  • Objection: object to processing based on our legitimate interest.
  • Portability: receive your data in a structured, commonly used format.

To exercise these rights, email us at info@yacht-watch.es stating your request clearly. We may ask you to verify your identity, and we will respond within one month.

Note: the right to erasure does not cover data we are required to retain for administrative, legal or security purposes.

8. Right to Lodge a Complaint

If you believe your data is not being handled in line with data protection law, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD): www.aepd.es.

9. Security

We apply reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss or alteration.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The date of the latest update is shown at the top of this page.
