Privacy Policy

Balearic Yacht Charter operates this website as a yacht charter planning and enquiry service for the Balearic Islands. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share and protect personal data when you visit balearicyacht.com, submit an enquiry, contact us, or interact with our website.

References to "we", "us" and "our" mean the operator of this website. References to "you" mean any visitor, prospective charter guest, broker contact or other person who uses the website or communicates with us.

Information you provide directly may include your name, email address, phone number, destination, preferred dates, guest count, budget, yacht preferences, itinerary notes, special requests, message content and any other information you choose to submit through a form, email or related communication.

We may also process communication records, such as email threads, enquiry history, booking preferences, response status and notes needed to answer your request or coordinate a shortlist.

When you browse the website, we may collect technical and usage information such as visited pages, referrers, device type, browser type, approximate location derived from technical signals, timestamps, event interactions and performance data.

We do not intentionally collect payment card details, passport details, medical records or other sensitive personal data through the public website. Please do not send sensitive information unless it is specifically requested by a professional partner for a confirmed booking process.

We use personal data to respond to enquiries, understand your charter requirements, prepare or refine a shortlist, coordinate with suitable charter partners, provide destination guidance, maintain records of communications, operate and improve the website, prevent misuse and comply with legal obligations.

We may use website analytics to understand which pages, search flows and enquiry steps are useful, to improve the website, and to measure whether our content is working for visitors.

If you have asked to receive follow-up messages, or if it is reasonable in the context of an active enquiry, we may contact you by email, phone or messaging channel about your request. We do not sell your personal data for unrelated marketing.

Where data protection law requires a legal basis, we rely on one or more of the following: your consent, our legitimate interest in operating the website and responding to enquiries, steps needed before entering into a potential charter arrangement, performance of a contract where one exists, and compliance with legal obligations.

You may withdraw consent for optional communications at any time by contacting us. Withdrawal does not affect processing that took place before the withdrawal.

If your enquiry requires availability checks, pricing, contract terms or specialist charter support, we may share relevant enquiry details with selected professional yacht charter brokers, central agents, yacht managers, operators or service providers who can help respond to your request.

The information shared is normally limited to what is needed to assess availability and suitability, such as destination, dates, guest count, budget, yacht preferences, contact details and itinerary notes.

We may also share data with providers that help us run the website and communications, such as hosting providers, email services, analytics tools, spam-prevention tools, security services and professional advisers.

Third-party brokers, operators and service providers may act as independent controllers for their own services. Their own privacy notices and booking terms may apply once they communicate with you or provide a proposal.

Yacht charter enquiries may involve partners, brokers, yacht managers or operators in different countries. Where personal data is transferred internationally, we take reasonable steps to share only relevant information and to use appropriate safeguards where required by applicable law.

If a transfer is necessary to respond to your requested charter enquiry or to progress a potential booking involving an international partner, we may process the data for that purpose.

The website may use essential technical storage for basic functionality, security, routing, form behaviour or remembering interface preferences.

We use privacy-conscious analytics, including Umami, to measure page views and website events such as enquiry interactions. These analytics help us improve content and site performance without creating advertising profiles for unrelated third parties.

Some third-party links, embedded services or external websites may use their own cookies or tracking technologies. We do not control those third-party practices.

You can usually block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Some website features may not work correctly if essential storage is blocked.

We keep personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including responding to your enquiry, maintaining business records, resolving disputes, improving the website, preventing abuse and meeting legal obligations.

Enquiry records may be retained while your request is active and for a reasonable period afterwards so that we can handle follow-up questions, avoid duplicate processing and understand previous preferences. When data is no longer needed, we delete, anonymise or restrict it where practical.

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

No website, email system or internet transmission is completely secure. Please avoid sending highly sensitive information through general website forms or ordinary email unless requested through an appropriate booking process.

Depending on where you live and which law applies, you may have rights to request access to your personal data, correction of inaccurate data, deletion, restriction of processing, objection to processing, data portability and withdrawal of consent.

You may also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority. We encourage you to contact us first so we can try to resolve your concern directly.

To make a privacy request, contact us using the email address below. We may need to verify your identity before responding.

This website is intended for adults researching yacht charter services. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children through the website.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time by publishing a new version on this page. The updated policy applies from the date it is posted unless stated otherwise.
