Who we share your data with

When you give your personal data to us, some of the personal data you provide will need to be given to and processed and stored by relevant third parties. These third parties include:

  • our technology and data management partners who help us to administer the services we provide (such as SGIS who host our website and where our data is securely stored);
  • our contact centre (including ‘live chat’) partners who provide services to support customer bookings and enquiries;
  • our travel partners, such as airlines, airports, hoteliers, insurance companies and ground handling agents (depending on the travel services you book), so that they can provide you with the arrangements and assistance you require.
  • our card payment facilitators, that help us process customer payments and assists us in detecting and preventing fraudulent payments or bookings.

Some of these third parties may be based outside of the European Economic Area (“EEA”). Organisations that are based outside of the EEA may not be subject to the same level of controls in regard to data protection as exist within the UK and the EEA. We aim only to transfer your data to third parties outside of the EEA where either:

(a) your personal information will be subject to one or more appropriate safeguards set out in the law, if you’d like more information about our safeguards, please contact us. These safeguards might be the use of standard contractual clauses in a form approved by regulators, or having our suppliers sign up to an independent privacy scheme approved by regulators (like the US ‘Privacy Shield’ scheme); or

(b) the transfer is necessary to enable your contract to be performed.

In order for you to travel overseas, we may be required to disclose certain of your personal data to government bodies or other authorities in the UK and in other countries, such as those responsible for immigration, border control, law enforcement, security and anti-terrorism.

Even if it is not mandatory for us to provide information to such authorities, we may exercise our discretion to assist them where appropriate in the interests of detecting and preventing criminal activity.

We do not share our data with any third-party organisations unless stated in the above and following sections. We may use your information prior to your arrival or whilst on one of our charters for legal reasons (i.e. port authorities) or to enhance your experience (i.e. our cooks need to know of any dietary requirements).

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

Your information is not automatically deleted after a set period of time, however we review the data we hold on a annual basis and any information deemed to be no longer required will be deleted. Returning customer discounts require a history of previous services purchased and therefore customer information many remain on our system for several years.

You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes. Please contact info@latitudeyachtservices.com for information on how to do this.

For uniform representation of fonts, this page uses web fonts provided by Google. When you open a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly.
