Privacy Policy
Layers Reelbridge Nautical Technologies Ltd. ("Layersreelbridge", "we", "us", or "our") is dedicated to protecting the privacy and security of your personal data. This Privacy Policy details our practices concerning the collection, usage, disclosure, and protection of information obtained through our website layersreelbridge.com, client communications, and onboard telemetry synchronization systems.
1. Information We Collect
We process personal data provided directly by you or collected automatically when utilizing our digital services and luxury yacht inquiry portals:
- Personal Identifiers: Name, professional title, email address, phone number, physical address, and residency status provided during inquiry or sea trial registration.
- Financial & Verification Data: Bank details, identity documentation, and proof of funds required for yacht reservation agreements and custom vessel build contracts.
- Telemetry & Yacht Usage Data: Anonymized propulsion diagnostic metrics, battery state-of-health data, solar efficiency logs, and remote software performance indicators synchronized through Layersreelbridge Marine OS.
- Digital Interaction Data: IP address, device telemetry, browser type, operating system, session duration, and referral sources via web server logs.
2. Legal Basis and Purpose of Processing
Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and EU GDPR, we process personal data under the following legal frameworks:
- Contractual Necessity: To fulfill pre-contractual inquiries, facilitate sea trial logistics, and build custom electric yachts.
- Legitimate Interests: To enhance vessel safety telemetry, optimize battery diagnostic algorithms, maintain digital infrastructure security, and market relevant bespoke nautical services.
- Legal Compliance: To satisfy maritime registration, regulatory customs requirements, and international financial anti-money laundering (AML) laws.
3. Marine Telemetry Data Confidentiality
All vessel diagnostic and telemetry data processed via our satellite links are encrypted using AES-256 military-grade encryption. Operational geographic navigation coordinates are anonymized and separated from personal owner records to guarantee complete navigational privacy.
4. Data Sharing & Third-Party Vendors
We do not sell, rent, or trade client personal data under any circumstances. We share information strictly with vetted service providers operating under confidentiality agreements, including:
- Certified naval certification authorities and maritime registry agencies.
- High-security cloud hosting infrastructure providers (AWS / Microsoft Azure).
- Bespoke luxury financial handling institutions for escrow management.
5. International Data Transfers
Because our naval operations span international waters and global shipyard locations, data may be transferred to secure servers outside the UK or European Economic Area (EEA). All such transfers are subject to Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) guaranteeing equivalent data privacy protections.
6. Data Retention Period
We retain client records for the lifetime of the commissioned vessel to maintain accurate service history, warranty records, and structural safety updates, or as long as required by UK maritime law (minimum 7 years for financial records).
7. Your Legal Rights
Subject to applicable data protection laws, you possess the following rights regarding your personal information:
- Right to access and request a copy of your personal data.
- Right to request rectification of inaccurate or incomplete records.
- Right to request erasure ("Right to be Forgotten") where processing grounds no longer apply.
