PRIVACY POLICY
General Data Protection Regulation
The General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679, abbreviated GDPR) is a European Union regulation on information privacy in the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA).
The GDPR is an important component of EU privacy law and human rights law, in particular Article 8(1) of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. It also governs the transfer of personal data outside the EU and EEA.
The GDPR's goals are to enhance individuals' control and rights over their personal information and to simplify the regulations for international business. It supersedes the Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC and, among other things, simplifies the terminology.
In line with GDPR, our Privacy Policy for our clients is detailed as follows:
​
-
We do not share or allow access to your information by any third party, except where required by law or when business activities have been conducted directly with you. Any data we have on record is kept on private and secure servers owned by Cardinal Yacht Care and not on any shared third party server.
​
-
Your information will only be used in the normal conduct of our business activities, therefore reducing your data footprint and risk of exposure.
​
-
We constantly and actively protect your data against active threats and malicious attempts of access.
​
-
We only hold the absolutely necessary personal information (stricter than GDPR regulations) required to contact you in the conduct of our regular business activities.
​
-
If you have previously consented to receive emails from us, you do not need to take any action to remain part of our records. However, you are free to update the information you have provided us with or have it removed at any time by simply contacting us at info@cardinalyachtcare.co.uk
