Where information is marked as mandatory on a form, we may be unable to respond to your enquiry or provide the requested service if it is not supplied.
Please do not send sensitive personal information, including passport, health, banking or identity-document information, unless we have specifically requested it for a defined purpose.
3. Why we use your information
We may use your personal information:
to respond to enquiries and provide information you have requested;
to arrange meetings, private viewings, sea trials, events or other SeaKing activities;
to discuss, design, quote for, build, supply and support SeaKing vessels;
to manage reservations, contracts, invoices, payments, deliveries, warranties and aftercare;
to communicate with brokers, advisers or representatives acting for you;
to maintain accurate client, prospective-owner and professional-contact records;
to improve our vessels, services, website and client experience;
to protect SeaKing, its clients, its people, its vessels and its business against fraud, misuse, security risks or legal claims;
to meet our legal, accounting, insurance, tax and regulatory obligations;
to send occasional SeaKing news, launch information, invitations and relevant updates where permitted by law.
We process personal information where necessary to respond to your request, perform or prepare for a contract, comply with a legal obligation, protect our legitimate business interests, or where you have given consent.
4. Confidentiality and disclosure
Personal information is treated as confidential and is available only to authorised SeaKing personnel who need it for the relevant purpose.
We may share information where necessary with:
brokers, representatives, advisers or introducers acting for you;
suppliers, contractors, engineers, logistics providers and specialist service partners involved in a SeaKing project;
professional advisers, including lawyers, accountants and insurers;
IT, website, email, hosting, accounting and document-management providers;
finance, insurance or marine-service providers where you have asked us to make an introduction;
regulators, law-enforcement bodies, courts or other parties where disclosure is required by law or necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal rights.
We do not sell, rent or trade personal information.
SeaKing will not use client names, vessel ownership information, project details, vessel locations, private visits, photographs or testimonials for publicity or marketing without permission, unless required by law.
5. International transfers
Some of our service providers may process personal information outside the United Kingdom.
Where this occurs, we will take appropriate steps to ensure that personal information receives protection consistent with applicable UK data-protection law, including the use of recognised contractual safeguards where required.
6. How long we retain information
We retain personal information only for as long as it is reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.
In general:
enquiry and prospective-owner records are retained for as long as necessary to deal with the enquiry and maintain an appropriate professional relationship;
contract, build, vessel, warranty and aftercare records may be retained for longer where necessary for safety, provenance, warranty, insurance, legal or regulatory reasons;
accounting and transaction records are retained for the period required by law;
marketing information is retained until you unsubscribe, withdraw consent, object to marketing or we determine that it is no longer relevant;
limited information may be retained after this period where necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

SeaKing may send occasional news, launch information, private-event invitations and updates relating to SeaKing vessels and services.
You may opt out of direct marketing at any time by using the unsubscribe link in a marketing email or by contacting us at build@seakingboatbuilders.com
