This site is operated by Women’s Yacht Club, LLC (“Yacht Vanguard”, “we”), a Florida limited liability company with operations in Split, Croatia. We act as the data controller for personal data collected through yachtvanguard.com.

What We Collect

Enquiries

When you submit a charter, membership, crew or venture enquiry, we collect the name, contact details, dates, party details and any preferences you provide.

Accounts

If you register for a member or crew account, we collect your username, email address, and any profile information you add.

Orders

If you purchase from the shop, we collect billing and delivery details and order history. Card details are handled by the payment provider and are never stored by us.

Technical data

Your IP address, browser type and pages viewed, collected automatically through cookies and server logs.

Messaging

If you contact us via WhatsApp, email or Instagram, we hold that correspondence. Those platforms process your data under their own policies.

Answering your enquiry and preparing a proposal. Legal basis: steps taken at your request prior to a contract.

Who Sees It

We do not sell personal data. We share it only where necessary: with the vessel owner, crew or marina delivering your charter; with payment and hosting providers; with our accountants and advisers; and where required by law. Some providers operate outside the European Economic Area, in which case transfers are made under appropriate safeguards.

How Long We Keep It

Enquiries that do not become bookings are kept for up to two years. Booking, order and accounting records are kept for the period required by law. Account data is kept until you close the account.

Your Rights

Under the GDPR you may request access to your data, correction, erasure, restriction or portability, and you may object to processing based on legitimate interest. Where processing rests on consent, you may withdraw it at any time. To exercise any of these, write to josipa@yachtvanguard.com. You also have the right to complain to your national supervisory authority; in Croatia this is AZOP.

Cookies

The site uses cookies necessary for it to function, including session and shopping-cart cookies, and may use analytics cookies to understand usage. You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings; parts of the site may then not work as intended.
