This Privacy Policy explains how Chandler Toombs, operating as Strandway Systems ("we," "us," or "our"), collects, uses, and protects information when you visit https://adriaticyachtguide.com (the "Website"). Adriatic Yacht Guide is an independent informational and affiliate website; we do not operate yacht charters ourselves.
Who we are

Information we collect
- Information you provide — if you submit an enquiry or quote request, we collect the details you enter (such as name, email, trip preferences, and any message content).
- Usage data — through analytics cookies (only after you consent), we collect aggregated, non-identifying data such as pages visited, approximate region, device type, and referral source.
- Cookies and similar technologies — see our Cookie Policy for the full list and how to control them.
How we use your information
- To respond to your enquiries and connect you with relevant charter partners.
- To measure and improve the content and performance of the Website (analytics, consent permitting).
- To comply with legal obligations.
Legal bases (GDPR)
Where the EU/UK GDPR applies, we rely on: your consent (for analytics and marketing cookies), our legitimate interests (operating and improving the site), and compliance with legal obligations. You may withdraw consent at any time via the Consent Preferences link in our footer.
Analytics and consent
We use Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID G-1V1BE66C2N) to understand site usage. Analytics and advertising cookies are blocked until you grant consent through our cookie banner (powered by Termly). You can change or withdraw your choice at any time using the "Consent Preferences" link in the footer.
Affiliate links and third parties
The Website contains affiliate links to charter and travel partners (such as Boatbookings, SkipperCity, Villiers Jets, Discover Cars, and Villanovo). If you click these links and complete a booking, the partner may set its own cookies and process your data under its own privacy policy. We may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. We also use Google services as described above. We do not sell your personal data.
Data retention
Enquiry details are kept only as long as needed to respond to and follow up on your request, then deleted. Aggregated analytics data is retained according to Google Analytics defaults.
International transfers
Our service providers (including Google) may process data outside your country, including in the United States. Where required, such transfers rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses.
Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or port your personal data, to object to or restrict processing, and to withdraw consent. EU/UK residents may also lodge a complaint with their data protection authority. To exercise any right, email privacy@adriaticyachtguide.com.
Children
The Website is not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect their data.
