We are committed to protecting your privacy and complying with the Data Protection (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law, 2017 and the Data Protection (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Regulations, 2018 (“Guernsey Data Protection Law”), which set out data protection standards equivalent to the EU/UK GDPR.

3. How We Use Your Information and Legal Basis
We process personal data for the following purposes, relying on the conditions for processing set out in Guernsey Data Protection Law (which are equivalent to the legal bases under the GDPR):
| Purpose | Legal Basis |
|---|---|
| Operating and maintaining the Site (essential cookies, security) | Legitimate interests |
| Understanding site usage and improving the map/directory (analytics) | Consent, obtained via our cookie banner |
| Responding to enquiries you send us | Legitimate interests / performance of pre-contractual steps |
| Complying with legal obligations | Legal obligation |
Where we rely on consent (e.g., for non-essential analytics cookies), you may withdraw that consent at any time via our cookie settings tool or browser controls, without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.
4. Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use the following categories:
- Strictly necessary cookies — required for the Site’s core functionality (e.g., loading the interactive map). These do not require consent.
- Analytics/performance cookies — help us understand how visitors use the Site (e.g., Google Analytics or similar). These are only set with your consent.
- Functional cookies — remember preferences such as map view settings, where used.
You can manage or withdraw cookie consent at any time via:
- The cookie preference banner/settings tool on the Site, and/or
- Your browser settings (most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies).
Please note that blocking essential cookies may affect the functionality of the interactive map.
5. Third-Party Services
We may use third-party services that process data on our behalf or independently, such as:
- Mapping providers (e.g., Google Maps, Mapbox, or similar) to display the interactive marina map. These providers may set their own cookies and collect usage data subject to their own privacy policies.
- Analytics providers (e.g., Google Analytics) to measure site traffic and usage patterns.
- Hosting providers to host and deliver the Site.
We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of these third parties for further information on how they handle data:

We do not sell your personal data to third parties.
6. International Data Transfers
Guernsey has been granted “adequacy” status by the European Commission and by the UK, meaning it is recognised as providing an adequate level of data protection. Some of our third-party service providers (e.g., analytics or mapping providers) may nonetheless process data outside Guernsey, including in the EEA, the UK, or the United States. Where this occurs, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses, the UK International Data Transfer Addendum, or reliance on an applicable adequacy decision, in accordance with Guernsey Data Protection Law.
7. Data Retention
We retain analytics data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described above, typically in line with our analytics provider’s default retention settings (e.g., 14–26 months for Google Analytics, configurable by us). Enquiry correspondence is retained only as long as needed to resolve your query, unless a longer period is required by law.

Under Guernsey Data Protection Law, you have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you
- Rectify inaccurate or incomplete data
- Erase your data (“right to be forgotten”), in certain circumstances
- Restrict processing, in certain circumstances
- Object to processing based on legitimate interests
- Data portability, where technically feasible
- Withdraw consent at any time, where processing is based on consent
- Lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at marinas@digimap.gg
