If you do decide to withdraw your consent, we will stop processing your personal data for that purpose. Your withdrawal of your consent won’t impact any of our processing up to that point.

In cases where we are processing your personal data on the basis of our legitimate interest, you can ask us to stop by sending an email to data@williamsbalear.com. We must then do so unless we believe we have a legitimate overriding reason to continue to process your personal data.

4.  Who do we share personal information with and where are they?

Your personal data may be shared with our parent company and fellow subsidiary companies which are, Argo Nautical Limited, Argo Nautical Yachting S.L.U. and Argo Nautical GmbH, on the legal basis of our legitimate internal interest in managing and administering the business efficiently.

If your geographic needs would be better served by one of our authorized sub-dealers, we will provide the details of that sub-dealer and with your permission we will pass on your information to them.

In order to make certain services available to you and fulfil our contract, we may share your data with trusted third parties that participate in the manufacturing process of the product on the basis of our legitimate interest.

If your enquiry leads to the purchase of a new vessel, your information will be shared with the relevant manufacturer/component supplier for warranty registration and safety recall purposes. If you purchase a used vessel with an insurance backed warranty your information will be registered with the insurer.

To ensure that the data that we hold remains up to date, we periodically cleanse our databases using consumer credit reporting agencies to check our contact information.

We may use third party service providers such as events management companies, call centres and mailing houses to support our marketing activities. We may also use service providers in less direct ways, such as in the provision of our payment and finance systems, or fraud verification.

We have agreements with our service providers which restrict how they are able to process your personal information and require them to keep it secure. We will not carry out international transfers outside the European Economic Area plus the UK.

We may share any of your personal data with a prospective purchaser of all or any part of our business, on the basis of our legitimate interests and the interests of our purchaser, so that they can appropriately value the business and assess any risks and continue doing business with you after the acquisition.

5. How long do we keep your information for?

We will only retain your personal information for the purposes set out in this Policy. In order to meet our taxation, accounting and risk management obligations your data will be retained for a period of 7 years from the date of your last transaction. This may be extended in the event of a query, investigation or dispute until fully resolved.
