Third-party links
This website may include links to third-party websites, plug-ins and applications which are not maintained or controlled by Princess Yachts Monaco. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. We do not control these third-party websites and are not responsible for their privacy statements. When you look at other websites, we encourage you to read the Privacy Policy of every website you visit.

We may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of Personal Data about you which we have grouped together follows:
- Identity Data includes first name, middle name, last name, maiden name, username or similar identifier, marital status, title, date of birth, gender and passport number.

Aggregated Data
When you visit this website we may also collect, use, store and share aggregated, anonymised statistical or demographic data (Aggregated Data). Aggregated Data may be derived from your Personal Data but is not considered Personal Data in law as it cannot directly or indirectly reveal your identity.
Aggregated Data may include the time and length of your visit to this website, the pages you have visited on this website, as well as details of the website you visited immediately prior to visiting this website. We may also record the name of your internet service provider. We use this information only to measure site activity and to develop ideas for improving our services.
For example, we may aggregate your Usage Data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific website feature. However, if we combine or connect Aggregated Data with your Personal Data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as Personal Data which will be used in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Special Categories of Personal Data
It is a necessary part of our business to collect certain types of Special Categories of Personal Data about you. For example, we need to collect data about your state of health if you inform us that you have a medical condition which requires special equipment or mobility assistance during your travel to, from or onboard a yacht, or to determine your fitness to travel onboard a yacht. Making certain catering choices will also involve the collection of data about your religious beliefs or state of health, for example if you inform us that you require Halal or diabetic catering.
We treat our obligations to protect Special Categories of Personal Data very seriously and we will always ask your express consent to collect, process or transfer such data for specified purposes each time you provide it to us.
Personal Data relating to minor passengers
In certain circumstances, we may need to collect, process or transfer Personal Data relating to minor passengers (i.e. children under the age of 16), for example where a charter will involve the carriage of a minor passenger. This is necessary for us to pursue our legitimate interests in running our business and to perform the contract of carriage.
We will only use Personal Data relating to minor passengers for the specified purposes set out in section 6 and with the express consent of the person who has parental responsibility. Minor passengers have the same rights as any other passenger regarding their Personal Data which are set out in section 12.
Providing Personal Data on behalf of other passengers
By providing us with Personal Data, including Special Categories of Personal Data, relating to other passengers during the course of your purchase/booking, you are representing that you have their authority to provide their Personal Data to us and to consent to their Personal Data being collected and processed for the specified purposes. Princess Yachts Monaco is entitled to rely upon such representations.
If you fail to provide Personal Data
Where we need to collect Personal Data by law, or under the terms of a contract we have with you and you fail to provide that data when requested, we may not be able to perform the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you. In these circumstances, we have the right to cancel or refuse to accept your booking, but we will notify you if this is the case at the time.

- Legitimate Interests: the interests of Princess Yachts Monaco in conducting and managing our business in order to give you the highest standard of service and the best and most secure chartering experience. We make sure we consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative) and your rights before we process your Personal Data for our legitimate interests. We do not use your Personal Data for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your express consent or are otherwise required or permitted to do so by law). You can obtain further information about how we assess our legitimate interests against any potential impact on you in respect of specific activities by contacting us.

This website makes use of cookies to measure site activity and to customise information to your personal tastes. A cookie is an element of data that a website can send to your browser which may then store the cookie on your hard drive, either temporarily or long term. This means that, when you visit this website in future, we can tailor information to suit your individual preferences which can save you time and provide you with a more personalised visit.

Change of purpose
We will only use your Personal Data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If you wish to get an explanation as to how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please contact us. If we need to use your Personal Data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you to explain the legal basis which allows us to do so or, where required by law, to seek your consent.
- MARKETING
We strive to provide you with choices regarding certain Personal Data uses, particularly around marketing and advertising.
Promotional offers from us
We may use your Identity, Contact, Technical, Usage and Profile Data to form a view on what we think you may want or need, or what may be of interest to you. This is how we decide which services and offers may be relevant for you (we call this “marketing”).
The “soft opt-in”
You will continue to receive marketing communications from us if you have previously arranged a charter or purchased a yacht from us in the past, or if you have requested information from us in connection with a potential charter or purchase, unless you have opted out of receiving future marketing communications.
Third-party marketing
We will request your express consent before we share your Personal Data with any company outside the Group for marketing purposes.
Opting out
You can ask us to stop sending you marketing messages at any time by following the opt-out links on any marketing message sent to you or by contacting us at any time. Please note that we may process your Personal Data without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.
- DISCLOSURES OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA
Third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer, or merge parts of our business or our assets. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may use your Personal Data in the same way as set out in this Privacy Policy. We require all third parties to respect the security of your Personal Data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your Personal Data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your Personal Data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions. - INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS
Internal Transfers
We will share your Personal Data within the Group. As Princess Yachts Monaco’ head office is based in Monaco, it will be necessary to transfer Personal Data which was collected in the European Economic Area (EEA) outside of the EEA. We ensure your Personal Data is protected by requiring all of our Group companies, branches, offices and outstations to follow the same rules when processing your Personal Data. These rules are called “Binding Corporate Rules”. A copy of Princess Yachts Monaco’ Binding Corporate Rules can be enquired by simple email request.
External Transfers
Many of our external third parties are based outside the EEA so their processing of your Personal Data will involve a transfer of data outside the EEA. Whenever we transfer your Personal Data to third parties which are based outside the EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to the data by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:
- Certain non-EEA countries to which we will transfer your Personal Data have already been deemed by the European Commission to provide an adequate level of protection. For further details, see European Commission: Adequacy of the protection of Personal Data in non-EU countries.
- Where we use third party service providers based in the US, we may transfer data to them if they are covered by the EU-US Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar protection to Personal Data shared between the Europe and the US. For further details, see European Commission: EU-US Privacy Shield.
- Where we use certain third party service providers which are not based in the EEA or the US, we may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give your Personal Data the same protection it has in Europe.
Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your Personal Data out of the EEA.
- DATA SECURITY
We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your Personal Data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your Personal Data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your Personal Data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality. We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected Personal Data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so. - DATA RETENTION
How long we retain your Personal Data
We will only retain your Personal Data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which we collected it, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period for Personal Data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the Personal Data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your Personal Data, the purposes for which we process your Personal Data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements. You can find out more details of retention periods for different aspects of your Personal Data by contacting us.
In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your Personal Data: see Request erasure in section 12 below for further information. In some circumstances we may anonymise your Personal Data (so that it can no longer be associated with you and you can no longer be identified by it) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.
- YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS
Under certain circumstances, you have the following rights under data protection laws in relation to your Personal Data:
- Request access to your Personal Data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the Personal Data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
- Request correction of the Personal Data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate Personal Data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
- Request erasure of your Personal Data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove Personal Data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your Personal Data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your Personal Data unlawfully or where we are required to erase your Personal Data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
- Object to processing of your Personal Data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your Personal Data for direct marketing purposes (and you will always be able to opt-out via the “unsubscribe” link on an email from us). In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your Personal Data which override your rights and freedoms.
- Request restriction of processing of your Personal Data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your Personal Data in the following situations: (a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it because you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
- Request the transfer of your Personal Data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your Personal Data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to information which was originally collected electronically and which you either consented to us using or was used to perform a contract with you.
- Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your Personal Data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us.
