Boatbreakers™ is committed to protecting your privacy, and will not sell, rent or otherwise disclose any information provided to any third-party, except as described by this Privacy Policy (see Third Party entry).

To use the services Boatbreakers™ offers, you will need to provide us with a small amount of personal information as well as information about the boat or boats you are looking to get disposed of.

In addition to the information that you provide us, Boatbreakers™ use some automated data collection tools on our website. These tools collect information that your web browser send to our website (for example, the type of browser you are using, the language setting of the browser, the address of the website that directed you to the Boatbreakers™ website).

We also use Google Analytics to collect information about what pages on our site you visit and how you have navigated our site. This information is all gathered anonymously.

If you have signed up to our mailing list, we use tools to collect when messages are opened and what links have been clicked on.

Boatbreakers™ will only use your personal information to process the disposal of your boat, to contact you with updates or to request additional information and to respond to your enquiries or requests for information.

We will not contact your or send you unsolicited e-mails. If you have requested not to be contacted, when you have used our Scrap Calculator, it will send your quote to the e-mail you provided automatically, but you will not receive any further communications from Boatbreakers™ unless you contact us and give your consent to contact you. If you enter a false email address in the Scrap Calculator you will not receive your quote.

If you call or email us requesting a specific boat part we can save you details in our database so that when/if we get that part in we can let you know. This data isn’t used for any other reason and is only used to let you the customer know when we have the part you’re looking for.

You can opt-in to our bi-monthly newsletter at anytime by visiting our “Join Our Mailing List” page, and filling in the form there with your name, email address and the mailing lists you would like to join. You can unsubscribe at any time (see How to Opt-Out). We do not send Spam emails and we aim to produce a newsletter that gives a general overview of what we have coming into the yard or what we’ve been up to.

Boatbreakers™ does not share, sell, rent or disclose any of the information you provide us, except when dealing with third-party vendors (see below).

We hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, these services include transportation and lifting facilities. We will only provide those companies the information they need to deliver the service and only after clearing it with you first. This will usually be a case of giving a boat transport company your number so they can contact you on the day of collection or delivery.

You have the right, at any time, to withdraw your consent for us to process your personal information.

Boatbreakers™ will disclose your personal information to a third-party if we are required to do so by law or, if in good faith, Boatbreakers™ believes that such action is necessary to:

• Comply with the law or with a legal process
• Protect and defend the company’s rights and property
• Prevent Fraud
• Protect the company against abuse, misuse or unauthorised use of Boatbreakers™ services
