Who do we share personal information with and where are they?
When you provide personal information to one Princess Motor Yacht Sales company it may be shared with other Princess Motor Yacht Sales companies. This enables us to run our business effectively and to provide you with an efficient service.
If your geographic needs would be better served by one of our authorised sub-dealers, with your permission we will pass on your information to that sub-dealer.
In order to make certain services available to you we sometimes share your data with trusted third parties.
If your enquiry leads to the purchase of a new vessel, your information will be shared with the relevant manufacturer/component supplier for warranty registration and safety recall purposes. If you purchase a used vessel with an insurance backed warranty your information will be registered with the insurer.
To ensure that the data that we hold remains up to date, we periodically cleanse our databases using consumer credit reporting agencies to check our contact information.
We may use third party service providers such as events management companies, call centres and mailing houses to support our marketing activities. We may also use service providers in less direct ways, such as in the provision of our payment and finance systems, or fraud verification.
We have agreements with our service providers which restrict how they are able to process your personal information and require them to keep it secure. If any service provider is based outside of the European Economic Area, we will ensure that the provider is either a current subscriber to the EU/US Privacy Shield, or we have an appropriate contract for the international transfer of personal information with them.
Our website also contains scripts from third party affiliates who will gather Observed information about you in order to verify referrals from third party advertising. We do not process this information but it is collected directly by them and processed in accordance with their privacy policies. For a list of affiliates, please see our Cookie Policy.
We may share any of your personal data with a prospective purchaser of all or any part of our business, on the basis of our legitimate interests and the interests of our purchaser, so that they can appropriately value the business and assess any risks and continue doing business with you after the acquisition.
How long do we keep your information for?
We will only retain your personal information for the purposes set out in this Policy and for as long as we have a legal or business requirement to do so. By law, different retention periods apply to different types of records and data, however the longest we will normally hold any personal data is 7 years from the date of your last transaction, for taxation, accounting and risk management purposes. This may be extended in the event of a query, investigation or dispute until fully resolved.
