Trust, Confidentiality & Data Protection

Yacht Watchkeeper is built for professional crews, captains, and yacht management companies where confidentiality is non-negotiable.

Our Commitment

We operate with NDA-level confidentiality obligations built directly into our Terms & Conditions.

We commit that we will:

  • Never sell, rent, license, or monetise your data
  • Never use your data for advertising, profiling, or marketing
  • Never share data with brokers, advertisers, or third parties outside essential service delivery
  • Treat all crew, vessel, owner, and operational information as strictly confidential

What Data We Protect

This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Crew personal and employment information
  • Leave records, schedules, and watchkeeping data
  • Vessel details, locations, movements, and itineraries
  • Owner, captain, and management company information
  • Platform access credentials and security settings

Data Security

We apply appropriate technical and organisational safeguards, including:

  • Role-based access controls
  • Secure authentication
  • Encrypted connections and provider-managed encryption of stored data
  • Audit records for signed records, sign-offs and key changes
  • Ongoing system maintenance and security updates

Data Residency

The platform database is hosted in AWS Europe (Ireland), eu-west-1. Our hosting provider documents sign-in and document storage as running in the same project region; we are obtaining its written confirmation. Some subprocessors, including AI providers, may process data in other locations under the transfer safeguards listed in the Subprocessor Register.

No Advertising. No Data Mining.

Yacht Watchkeeper does not:

  • Advertise using your data
  • Profile individuals or vessels
  • Sell or share data with third-party advertisers

Breach Response

In the unlikely event of a confirmed data breach, we commit to:

  • Prompt containment and investigation
  • Notification without undue delay
  • Cooperation with regulatory and contractual obligations

Ongoing Confidentiality

Confidentiality obligations continue even after accounts are closed and apply for as long as any data is retained, including backups.

Your trust is fundamental to our service.
