Maldives Yacht Hub (“we”, “us”, “our”) is an independent yacht charter and brokerage service operating the website at www.maldivesyachthub.com (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy explains in full what personal data we collect from visitors and enquirers, why we collect it, how we use it, who we share it with, how long we keep it, the security measures we apply, and the rights you hold in respect of that data.
We are committed to collecting only the data we genuinely need, using it solely for the purposes described here, and never profiting from your personal information in any way. We do not sell, rent, license, or trade your personal data. We apply rigorous security practices to every piece of information we hold.
By using this Site or submitting an enquiry, you confirm that you have read and understood this Policy.
Maldives Yacht Hub is an independent brokerage service connecting clients with yacht charter and sales opportunities across the Maldives. We operate this Site and manage all client enquiries and communications. All questions, data requests, and privacy concerns should be directed to us at:
When you submit an enquiry through this Site, we collect the following personal data:
This data is collected for the sole purpose of responding to your enquiry and progressing any booking process. It is the minimum information required for us to perform our role as an intermediary on your behalf.
We collect detailed analytics data to understand how visitors use the Site, to identify technical issues, and to continuously improve the quality and usefulness of our content and services. Analytics is an important part of how we operate: it tells us which vessels attract the most interest, which destinations are most popular, where the user experience can be improved, and how to make the Site faster and more relevant. The data we collect for this purpose includes:
Analytics data is processed in aggregated and, where possible, pseudonymised form. It is used exclusively for internal service improvement and is never used to personally identify individual visitors for marketing purposes, shared with third parties for commercial gain, or used in any way other than to make this Site better.
Our Site uses cookies and similar technologies. Cookies are small files stored on your device that allow us to recognise your browser and remember your preferences. We use the following categories:
We do not use advertising cookies, retargeting cookies, or any technology that tracks you across third-party websites for commercial purposes. You can manage or disable non-essential cookies through your browser settings at any time.
Where you correspond with us by email or through the enquiry form, we retain that correspondence, including any vessel preferences, travel dates, or budget information you choose to share. This is retained solely as part of your enquiry record and used only to manage and progress your request.
We process your personal data only where we have a clear and legitimate reason to do so:
We use personal data strictly for the following purposes and no others:
We do not use your personal data for unsolicited marketing. We will only contact you in connection with the enquiry you submitted or with your explicit consent.
We state this plainly: we do not sell, rent, exchange, or otherwise provide your personal data to any third party in exchange for money or any other consideration. Your data is not a revenue source for us in any form.
The only disclosures we make are those described in Section 6 below, limited to what is necessary to provide our service or required by law. No other disclosures occur.
When you submit an enquiry, the core purpose of our service is to connect you with the right vessel and the people who operate it. To do this effectively, we share your personal data with the relevant parties who need it to handle and fulfil your request. This is fundamental to how a brokerage works and you should expect it to happen.
Specifically, when you enquire about a charter, yacht purchase, or travel package, we share the following with the vessel owner, operator, charter manager, resort partner, or relevant service provider responsible for fulfilling that request:
This sharing is necessary and inherent to the brokerage service. By submitting an enquiry through this Site, you understand and consent to your personal data being shared with the relevant vessel owner, operator, charter manager, or service provider for the purpose of handling your request. We do not authorise these parties to use your information for any purpose beyond responding to your specific enquiry. Once your data has been shared with a Principal or provider, their own privacy and data practices govern how they handle it and we encourage you to request their privacy policy where relevant.
We use third-party services to operate this Site and manage communications. These include web hosting providers, email delivery services, and analytics platforms. These providers process data only on our behalf, only to the extent necessary for their specific function, and are not permitted to use your data for their own purposes. We select providers that maintain appropriate security and privacy standards.
We may be required to disclose personal data in response to a lawful request from a law enforcement agency, court, or regulatory authority. We will only make such disclosures where legally required, will disclose only the minimum data necessary, and will notify you of such a request where we are permitted to do so.
This Site is operated from the Maldives. Data you submit may be processed by third-party service providers located in other countries, including cloud infrastructure and analytics providers. Where this occurs, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data to a standard consistent with this Policy. By using this Site, you acknowledge that your data may be transferred internationally as described.
On expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or permanently anonymised. We review retained data periodically to ensure nothing is held longer than necessary.
We take data security seriously and apply the following measures to protect your personal information:
In the event of a personal data breach that poses a risk to you, we will take prompt remedial action and notify affected individuals as required. No electronic system is unconditionally secure, but we take every reasonable precaution to protect the data you entrust to us.
