Information You Share With Us

You are in control of what information you provide. If you contact us by email, telephone, WhatsApp, or another communication channel, we may retain the information contained in that communication so that we can respond appropriately and maintain a record of the conversation where reasonably necessary. We do not seek to collect more personal information than is reasonably necessary for the purpose for which you contacted us. You should therefore only provide information that you are comfortable sharing.

WhatsApp and Other Communication Services

If you choose to contact us through WhatsApp, your communication will also be subject to WhatsApp's own terms, privacy practices, and technical systems. We do not control how WhatsApp processes information within its own platform. We will only use information received through WhatsApp for legitimate communication with you and will not independently distribute your contact information to other parties.

Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect information that you voluntarily provide to us against unauthorized access, misuse, loss, alteration, or disclosure. However, no method of transmitting or storing information electronically can be guaranteed to be completely secure. For this reason, while we take reasonable precautions, we cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted over the internet or through third-party communication platforms.

Children's Privacy

Our website is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children without appropriate authorization. We do not knowingly solicit personal information from children. If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us without appropriate authorization, please contact us so that we can review and, where appropriate, delete the information.

Third-Party Websites

Our website may contain links to other websites, social-media platforms, marine organizations, businesses, or other external resources.

Our website features services and links provided by independent third-party vendors and agents, and any personal information or details you choose to share directly with these service providers is strictly governed by their own respective privacy policies and terms of service, not ours. These independent agents operate as separate data controllers, and YACHTING ANDAMANS does not control, monitor, or accept responsibility for how they collect, store, use, or secure your data. Consequently, we explicitly disclaim all liability and responsibility for any data breaches, misuse, or losses arising from your direct interactions or data sharing with these third-party agents, and it remains your sole responsibility to review their privacy practices before disclosing any personal information.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may occasionally update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to our website, community, operational practices, or applicable legal requirements. The updated version will be published on this page together with the revised Last Updated date.
