5. Marketing of Listed Yachts

When you list a yacht with us:

• We publish non-personal vessel information (make, model, year, price, photos, etc.) on our website and partner portals
• Owner identity or contact details are never made public
• If a buyer expresses interest, contact is managed through Eversails unless otherwise agreed

• Company ownership structure (for corporate entities)
• This information is stored securely and used only for legal compliance and risk management.

7. Retention Periods

Seller and buyer data is kept for up to 7 years after transaction completion, in line with maritime and tax regulations.

Data for incomplete or withdrawn deals is retained for a shorter period (usually 1–2 years), unless legal grounds require otherwise.

8. Security Measures

Your brokerage data is stored with strong security protections:

• Contracts and ID documents are stored on encrypted servers
• Internal access is restricted to staff directly handling your transaction
