How we collect, use, and protect your personal data at Aquator Marine.
Aquator Marine offers a variety of yacht management, productivity, collaboration, and organizational tools available online, including via a mobile application (collectively, the “Service”), and websites, including but limited to www.aquatormarine.com. As you use the Service and interact with the Websites, Aquator collects and processes information from and about you in order to provide you with access to the Service, enhance your experience while using the Service, and interact with you. This Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) describes how Aquator collects, uses, and discloses information collected through the Service and Websites, and what choices you have with respect to such information. The first section below explains which privacy terms are applicable to you depending on what type of user you are.
References to “Aquator” throughout the Policy mean the Aquator entity that acts as the data controller or data processor of your information, as explained in more detail below. If you do not agree with this Policy, do not access or use the Service, Websites, or any other part of Aquator’s business.
Aquator has three different types of users depending on the Aquator products used. Please see the bullets below to determine which type of user you are, and then click the internal link to visit the privacy terms applicable to you. It is possible that you may use Aquator in different ways. If so, please review all applicable privacy terms.
Section II of this Policy applies only to Subscribers. If you are a Subscriber, the “Customer Agreement” governs the collection and processing of information collected from you through the Customer’s instance of the Service (e.g. a Customer’s organization or Account, but for purposes of this Policy referred to as the “Account”), including all associated messages, attachments, files, tasks, projects and project names, team names, channels, conversations, and other content submitted through the Service (“Account Content”). In the event of a conflict between this Privacy Policy and the Customer Agreement, the Customer Agreement governs. Because the Customer controls the Account used by Subscribers, if you have any questions about the Customer’s specific Account settings and privacy practices, please contact the Customer whose Account you use. If you are a Subscriber located in the European Union, please note that the Customer is the data controller with respect to the processing of your Account Content pursuant to the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”). When processing Account Content of EU data subjects governed by the Customer Agreement, Aquator is the data processor, meaning that we collect and process such information solely on behalf of the Customer.
To collect the Websites Usage Information discussed above, we and our service providers use Internet server logs, cookies, tags, SDKs, tracking pixels, and other similar tracking technologies. A web server log is a file where website activity is stored. An SDK is a section of code that we embed in our applications and software to allow third parties to collect information about how users interact with the Websites. A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a site, that enables us to: (i) recognize your computer and login session; (ii) store your preferences and settings; (iii) understand which pages of the Websites you have visited; (iv), enhance your user experience by delivering and measuring the effectiveness of content and advertising tailored to your interests; (v) perform analytics; and (vi) assist with security and administrative functions. Tracking pixels (sometimes referred to as web beacons or clear GIFs) are tiny electronic tags with a unique identifier embedded in websites, online ads and/or email, and that are designed to provide usage information like ad impressions or clicks, email open rates, measure popularity of the Websites and associated advertising, and to access user cookies. As we adopt additional technologies, we may also gather information through other methods. Please note that you can change your settings to notify you when a cookie is being set or updated, or to block cookies altogether. Please consult the “Help” section of your browser for more information (e.g., Internet Explorer; Google Chrome; Mozilla Firefox; or Apple Safari).
We use the information collected from Site Visitors for a variety of purposes including to:
If you are located in the EU, please note that the legal bases under the GDPR for using the information we collect through your use of the Websites as a Site Visitor are as follows:
We may aggregate and/or de-identify information collected through the Websites so that such information can no longer be linked to you or your device (“Aggregate/De-Identified Information”). We may use Aggregate/De-Identified Information for any purpose, including without limitation for research and marketing purposes, and may also share such data with any third parties, including advertisers, promotional partners, sponsors, event promoters, and/or others.
You agree that, for the purposes discussed in this Policy, we may combine the information that we collect through the Websites with information that we receive from other sources, both online and offline, and use such combined information in accordance with this Policy. If, however, the collection of any information about you is governed by a Customer Agreement, information will only be combined and used in accordance with such Customer Agreement and the sections of this Policy applicable to Subscribers.
We may use third-party web analytics services on our Websites to collect and analyze usage information through cookies and similar tools; engage in auditing, research, or reporting; and provide certain features to you. To prevent Google Analytics from using your information for analytics, you may install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
The Websites may integrate third-party advertising technologies that allow for the delivery of relevant content and advertising on the Websites, as well as on other websites you visit. The ads may be based on various factors such as the content of the page you are visiting, information you enter such as your age and gender, your searches, demographic data, and other information we collect from you. These ads may be based on your current activity or your activity over time and across other websites and online services and may be tailored to your interests.
Third parties, whose products or services are accessible or advertised via the Websites, may also place cookies or other tracking technologies on your computer, mobile phone, or other device to collect information about you as discussed above. We also allow other third parties (e.g., ad networks and ad servers such as Google Analytics, DoubleClick and others) to serve tailored ads to you on our Websites and other websites and to access their own cookies or other tracking technologies on your computer, mobile phone, or other device you use to access the Websites. We sometimes provide Site Visitor information (such as email addresses) to service providers, who may “match” this information in de-identified form to cookies (or mobile ad identifiers) and other proprietary IDs, in order to provide you with more relevant ads when you visit other websites.
We neither have access to, nor does this Policy govern, the use of cookies or other tracking technologies that may be placed on your device you use to access the Websites by such non-affiliated third parties. If you are interested in more information about tailored browser advertising and how you can generally control cookies from being put on your computer to deliver tailored advertising, you may visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s Consumer Opt-Out link, the Digital Advertising Alliance’s Consumer Opt-Out link, or Your Online Choices to opt-out of receiving tailored advertising from companies that participate in those programs. To opt out of Google Analytics for display advertising or customize Google display network ads, visit the Google Ads Settings page. We do not control these opt-out links or whether any particular company chooses to participate in these opt-out programs. We are not responsible for any choices you make using these mechanisms or the continued availability or accuracy of these mechanisms.
Please note that if you exercise the opt-out choices above, you will still see advertising when you use the Websites, but it will not be tailored to you based on your online behavior over time.
Notice Concerning Do Not Track Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a privacy preference that users can set in certain web browsers. We are committed to providing you with meaningful choices about the information collected on our Websites for third party purposes, and that is why we provide the variety of opt-out mechanisms listed above. However, we do not currently recognize or respond to browser-initiated DNT signals. To learn more about Do Not Track, you can do so here.
We will retain your information for the period necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this Policy unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
Local legal requirements (such as those in the EU) may afford you additional rights. If you would like further information in relation to your legal rights under applicable law or would like to exercise any of them, please contact us using the information in the “Aquator Contact Info” section below at any time. Your local laws (such as those in the EU) may permit you to request that we:

We may request you provide us with information necessary to confirm your identity before responding to your request.
The Websites may contain links to third-party websites and functionalities. If you choose to use these third party services, you may disclose your information not just to those third-parties, but also to their users and the public more generally depending on how their services function. Because these third-party websites and services are not operated by Aquator, Aquator is not responsible for the content or practices of those websites or services. The collection, use, and disclosure of your information will be subject to the privacy policies of the third party websites or services, and not this Policy. We urge you to read the privacy and security policies of these third-parties.
We will consider all requests and provide our response within the time period stated by applicable law.

The following additional information about Aquator’s privacy practices apply to all users of Aquator (Subscribers, Free Users, and Site Visitors).
We may transfer information that we collect about you to third party processors across borders and from your country or jurisdiction to other countries or jurisdictions around the world. If you are located in the European Union or other regions with laws governing data collection and use that may differ from Singapore law, please note that you are transferring information to a country and jurisdiction that does not have the same data protection laws as your jurisdiction.
We reserve the right to amend this Policy at any time to reflect changes in the law, our data collection and use practices, the features of our Service or Websites, or advances in technology. We will make the revised Policy accessible through the Service and Websites, so you should review the Policy periodically. If we make a material change to the Policy, we will comply with applicable legal requirements regarding providing you with notice and/or consent.
Aquator takes technical and organizational measures to protect your information against accidental or unlawful destruction or accidental loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access. However, no method of transmission over the Internet, and no means of electronic or physical storage, is absolutely secure, and thus we cannot ensure or warrant the security of that information.
If you receive email from us, we may use certain analytics tools, such as clear GIFs, to capture data such as when you open our message or click on any links or banners our email contains. This data allows us to gauge the effectiveness of our communications and marketing campaigns. You may instruct us not to use your contact information to contact you by email, postal mail, or phone regarding products, services, promotions and special events that might appeal to your interests by contacting us at the “Aquator Contact Info” section below. In commercial email messages, you can also opt out by following the instructions located at the bottom of such emails. Please note that, regardless of your request, we may still use and share certain information as permitted by this Policy or as required by applicable law. For example, you may not opt out of certain operational or service-related emails, such as those reflecting our relationship or transactions with you.
If you wish to contact us or have any questions about or complaints in relation to this Policy, please contact us at info@aquatormarine.com.
