Data Protection Policy

This Data Protection Policy explains how Halcyon Yachts handles personal information submitted through this website and related business processes.

Information we may collect

We may collect information you provide through enquiry forms, crew registration forms, email, telephone, or other direct communications. This may include your name, contact details, address, country, role or position, experience, qualifications, availability, message content, and documents you choose to provide.

How we use information

We use personal information to respond to enquiries, manage crew registrations, assess suitability for roles, provide yacht crew agency services, maintain business records, improve our services, and comply with legal obligations.

Lawful basis

We process personal information where it is necessary for legitimate business interests, to take steps before entering into a contract, to perform a contract, to comply with legal obligations, or where consent has been given.

Sharing information

Where relevant to our services, we may share information with yacht owners, captains, managers, recruitment contacts, professional advisers, or service providers who support our website, CRM, email, hosting, security, and business operations.

International processing

Because the yachting industry operates internationally, information may be shared or processed outside your country where necessary for crew placement, client enquiries, or business operations.

Data retention

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose it was collected, including business, legal, recruitment, compliance, and record-keeping requirements.

Your rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to the use of your personal information. You may also have the right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

Security

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from unauthorised access, loss, misuse, or disclosure.
