This is the Privacy Notice (the “Privacy Notice”) of Boatter LLC (“Boatter,” “we,” or “us”), whose principal office is located at [Boatter LLC, 2645 Executive Park Dr, Weston, Florida 33331].

Data We Collect

1. Data You Provide to Us

Registration

We collect Personal Data when you use or interact with our Site and Services, including when you register with us. To create an account with us, you will need to provide your name, email address, and a password.

Other than the information required to create an account (e.g., your name, email address, and password, and optionally a phone number), it is your choice whether to include additional Personal Data on your profile. We do not require you to provide sensitive Personal Data to complete your profile.

How We Use Your Data

We use your Personal Data as described in this Privacy Notice. How we use your Personal Data may depend, in part, on how you use our Services and the choices you make in your settings.

1. Account Administration and Provision of Services

We use Personal Data to:

• create and manage your account;
• verify your identity and authenticate access;
• provide core functionality of the marketplace (such as listing boats, searching listings, messaging, and subscription management); and

For example, we may use your profile information and uploaded photographs for identity verification, fraud prevention, or safety-related features.

• help other Users discover your listings (for example, by displaying listings in search results, recommendations, or marketing emails);
• present listings that may match your preferences, filters, or location; and
• facilitate communication between Users regarding listings and potential rentals.

Please note that Boatter does not process rental payments between Users. Any bookings, rental payments, or related arrangements take place directly between Boat Owners and Renters (and any third-party payment or escrow providers they choose), outside of Boatter’s payment system.

• manage and process subscription payments for Boatter’s own paid services (such as boat listing plans or promotional tools);

Payment card information is typically processed by our third-party payment processor(s). Boatter itself does not store full payment card numbers, except as permitted and in accordance with applicable law and industry standards.

Security and Links to Third-Party Sites

We implement technical and organizational security measures designed to protect your Personal Data (such as using HTTPS for data transmission and access controls).
