5. International Data and EU/UK Visitors (GDPR)
Global Yacht Supply is based in the United States, and information we collect is generally processed and stored in the United States.

Where we process your personal data based on your consent (for example, marketing emails or non-essential Cookies), you may withdraw that consent at any time using the contact details in Section 10. Where we rely on legitimate interests (for example, fraud prevention or improving our Website), you may object to that processing. By placing an order for shipment to the EEA or UK, you acknowledge that your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States, which may not have data protection laws equivalent to those in your jurisdiction; we take reasonable steps to protect your information as described in this Policy.

To opt out of the sharing of your information for targeted advertising as described in Section 3, you can adjust your Cookie preferences through our cookie banner (where available), use the browser- and platform-level opt-out links provided in Section 3, or contact us directly.
7. Children's Privacy
Our Website is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or 16, where applicable under local law), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child without verification of parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us using the details in Section 10.
8. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to provide our services, comply with legal, tax, and accounting obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
