### What Personal Data Does TakeASea Collect?
We collect standard information, including your name, preferred contact details, and essential details about your booking (e.g., expected arrival time at the marina to ensure your yacht is ready).

Additionally, we collect technical data from the device you use to access our services, such as IP address, currency preferences, browser type, and language settings. This helps us personalize our website to improve your experience.

Depending on your reservation, we may also request your address, phone number, payment details, date of birth, and the names of accompanying guests. Please ensure your travel companions are aware of this.

We may also receive data about you from third parties, such as our business partners. Our booking system may be integrated with other travel platforms to make yacht reservations available globally.
