This information is required in order to gain access to the services provided by us on the platform. Onboard Space will not be able to provide you with the services offered on our platform if the required information is not provided and you will not be able to register for a member account on our platform.
Also, opening a member’s account will allow you to save your personal settings, upload photos on your profile, add a mini-biography, add details of your boat (if you are the boat owner), review sailing opportunities applications, plan and manage future sailing trips, as well as benefit from other features only available to members (such as special offers). Your profile may also include personal data such as your gender, age and personal description (mini-biography) and your photograph.
We will use your email address to send you a confirmation of any services or information that you request, to confirm any profile or account changes you make, for marketing purposes such as information updates, newsletters and for administration and security purposes. Located at the bottom of each email you have an automated option which allows you to change your privacy settings such as hide your profile and make your account inactive.
The information mentioned above is collected by us or third party data processors acting on our behalf such as business partners, technical staff, payment services, advertising networks and analytics providers, to personalise web content and advertising based on your individual preferences and characteristics, ensuring that our website is compatible with browsers and operating systems used by most of our users, and to assist with in-house research and analysis to improve understanding of our customer needs, to create marketing profiles, to provide goods and services we feel may interest you or other users and to support strategic development.
Why does Onboard Space collect and use your personal data?
We use the information you give us to administer your member’s account. We may use your information for marketing activities such as sending you our newsletter or other third-party offers we think you might find interesting.
There may be other times when we contact you. For example, when you have not yet finalised a payment online, we can contact you with a reminder to continue with your application. We believe that this additional service benefits you as it allows you to continue a trip application without having to fill in your details again.
When you use our services, we may send you a questionnaire or invite you to provide a review about your experience with Onboard Space.
We sometimes ask our members to take part in market research. Please see the information provided when you are invited to participate to understand what personal data is collected and how your personal data is used further.

Members are invited to submit a review after the trip. By completing a review, you are agreeing that it can be displayed (as described in detail in our Terms and Conditions) on, for example, the relevant trip page on our website and on our social media accounts.

In certain cases, we may need to use your information to handle and resolve legal disputes, for regulatory investigations and compliance, to enforce the terms of use of the Onboard Space website applications or to comply with lawful requests from law enforcement agencies. We may need to send you other administrative messages, which may include security alerts for example.
Providing your personal data to Onboard Space is voluntary. However, depending on the type of service you may want to use, we may only be able to provide you with this service if certain personal data is collected.
