Personal Data
Privacy and Protection Policy
Yacht Capital Group considers the privacy and protection of its
clients' personal data to be of utmost importance. To ensure that
you feel confident about providing us with your personal
information when communicating with us and using our services, our
practices in relation to the collection and use of personal data
are outlined below.
Purposes
Yacht Capital Group will collect, record, store, and use your
personal data worldwide but only to enable you to purchase or sell
real property through the affiliates of Yacht Capital Group, and
unless you object, to advise you of services to market or to
purchase real property.
Privacy
We will not share your personal data with anyone outside Yacht
Capital Group or its affiliates without your consent.
From time to time, however, we may need to disclose your personal
data to sales associates and/or officers of designated affiliates
of Yacht Capital Group or to contractors of Yacht Capital Group in
order to enable us to communicate with you or to customize the Web
Site to better serve you. These persons are required to keep the
information confidential and will not use the information for any
other purpose than to carry out the services they are performing
for Yacht Capital Group.
Security
Any personal data you provide to us is securely stored in a
database held by Yacht Capital Group, St. Maarten�to which only
authorized Yacht Capital Group employees and agents have access.
We have put in place administrative measures to ensure that the
access that Yacht Capital Group employees and agents have to
personal data on our server is limited to the extent necessary in
order to perform their functions.
All our employees are required to sign a confidentiality agreement
in which they agree to treat personal data as strictly
confidential.
The server holding your personal data is protected against both
unauthorized physical and electronic access. These measures
include an electronic firewall and various other protection
measures that involve virus scanning, installation of security
patches, vulnerability testing, backup and recovery planning,
employee training, security audits, and other steps designed to
constantly improve the data protection posture. The server is not
directly connected to the Internet, and therefore data is
available only to authorized computers.
While we strive to provide security that is above and beyond
industry standards, because of the Internet�s inherent
vulnerabilities, we cannot ensure or warrant complete security of
all information transmitted to us.
Yacht Capital Group and the Internet
Web Site
In general, you may browse our Internet site anonymously.
However, some of our online services require the collection of
some personally identifying information, such as your name,
address, and, when appropriate, your credit information.
For transactions over the Yacht Capital Group Web site that
involve particularly sensitive information, such as credit card
numbers and accounting information, we will employ accepted
transmission and storage protocols, such as encryption, to prevent
this information from being disclosed. This means that when you
type in sensitive information, such as credit card details, it
will be automatically converted into codes before being securely
sent to us over the Internet.
This information will be used for processing transactions, but it
may also be used for internal data processing, such as compiling
statistical information about your interests and the use of our
Internet site. As a service to you, we may also use this
information to customize the content we offer.
Email
In order to provide you with timely notice regarding new real
property offered for sale, Yacht Capital Group may send you email
notices. To facilitate this service, Yacht Capital Group may note
some of the pages you visit on our Web site.
At any time, you may discontinue this service by sending an email
to
info@yachtcapitalgroup.com and requesting that your email
address be removed from our lists.
Business Relationships
The Yacht Capital Group site contains links to other Web
sites. None of the information that you provide to us will be
transmitted to other Web sites. Yacht Capital Group is not
responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such Web
sites.
Cookies
Yacht Capital Group may also use on its Internet properties a
personalization technology called a "cookie." A cookie is a small
text file placed on your computer's hard disk that identifies your
browser software to a Web site. Cookies allow us to track when you
enter, leave, and re-enter our sites and what path you take
through our sites. In doing this, we can provide you with a more
personalized experience.
Private Client Services
Yacht Capital Group provides users of this site the
opportunity to receive information about real property offered for
sale, which will require Yacht Capital Group to provide your email
address(es) to our affiliate brokers.
If you do not wish to receive further email from the sender,
please reply to the sender and request that they stop sending you
such emails in the future. Yacht Capital Group does not accept
responsibility for any third party's use (or misuse) of this
service.
Exceptions
While we will not voluntarily disclose your personal data, we
may disclose such information if we are required to do so by a
court order, if we are requested to do so by government or law
enforcement authorities, if we are required to do so pursuant to
other legal processes, or if it becomes necessary to protect the
rights or property of Yacht Capital Group.
