Privacy Policy & Maritime Escrow Confidentiality
How Northwake Yacht Gallery safeguards owner vessel records, marine lender financials, passport and USCG citizenship documentation, and client contact details.
Effective date: [EFFECTIVE DATE]
What the contact form collects
The contact form collects a name, email address, optional telephone number, selected service and message, plus an optional target length or vessel, preferred viewing date and intended use.
It is a general enquiry form, not a secure channel. Lender financials, passports and USCG citizenship documents are requested separately, once a purchase or listing is under way.
What the subscribe form collects
The subscribe form collects one email address.
That address is used only for the occasional notes on newly listed vessels, haul-out and survey scheduling, and ownership questions.
Why the information is collected
Contact details are used to reply to the enquiry and to arrange a dockside viewing, sea trial or market appraisal where one is requested.
Subscription details are used to deliver the requested updates.
Who else receives the information
Form submissions pass through the hosting provider that serves these pages and the email service that delivers them; each receives only what it needs to do so.
Submitted information is not sold or provided to advertising networks. Where a surveyor, lender or escrow agent must be engaged for a particular vessel, only the detail that work needs is passed on.
How long it is kept
Contact messages are retained while the enquiry is active. Closing and escrow records from a completed sale are kept for as long as the law requires and no longer.
Subscription addresses remain until removal is requested.
Security, and its limits
Access to received messages is limited to the brokers and closing staff who handle enquiries.
No internet transmission or stored record can be guaranteed absolutely secure.
Choices a visitor has
Using either form is optional and no essential page content is hidden behind an email address.
A subscription can be ended without affecting an active enquiry.
Asking for removal
Removal requests can be sent through the contact form once the sender provides enough information to identify the record.
The brokerage confirms the outcome directly, and says so where a closing record must be kept.
