Where we store your data, and security

If we have received your data from a Marina, then we use Microsoft Azure to host the Software. Microsoft Azure are in turn data processors because your data is stored within their servers. The Microsoft Azure platform and Microsoft Office 365 server is situated in Ireland.

We will take all appropriate technical and organization measures to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy notice. We will only store your data for as long as is necessary for us to comply with our obligations to the Marina under the Software agreement and in relation to general legal and regulatory requirements.

If you have supplied your data to us or we have collected it about you other than in relation to the Software, then we will keep your data securely on our desktop computers or within our office. 

Duration of storage of personal data

We will store data that we receive from Marinas in relation to individuals for as long as is necessary for the performance of the contract with the respective Marina as data processor and as directed by the Marina as the relevant data controller.

Where we hold data as data controller then we will hold the data for as long as is necessary for the duration of any agreement and any longer period for us to comply with applicable law (e.g. audit) or in other cases for the duration of the period necessary for the purpose that you provided the data to us or to which you have consented (e.g. any marketing).

Your rights

You can require us to correct any mistakes in your information which we hold free of charge. If you would like to do this, please:

• email, call or write to us (see ‘Contact’ below)

You also have the right to access your information, of erasure, restrictions on processing, objection to processing, and portability subject to any legal/audit requirements that we in turn have to comply with.

Please note though that if we hold your data as the result of you entering into a contract with a Marina then you should contact the Marina not us because we can only act on the instructions of the Marina as data controller.

If you are a Marina with whom we have entered into a contract with then we will not necessarily be able to delete your details until after the contract has ended and then subject to any audit/regulatory compliance. You may though withdraw consent to the receipt of any marketing materials from us that you may have given at any time.
